1. SAFETY INFORMATION

• Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to

operate or service the meter.

• To avoid damages to the instrument do not apply the signals which

exceed the maximum limits shown in the technical specifications tables.

• Do not use the meter or test leads if they look damaged. Use extreme

caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars.

• Accidental contact with the conductor could result in electric shock.

• Use the meter only as specified in this manual; otherwise, the protection

provided by the meter may be impaired.

• Read the operating instructions before use and follow all safety

Information.

2. SAFETY SYMBOLS

Caution refer to this manual before using the meter.

Dangerous voltages.

Meter is protected throughout by double insulation or reinforced

insulation.

When servicing, use only specified replacement parts.

CE Comply with EN-61010-1

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Link the test line

Check the wires state:

Before pushing the "test" button, certificate the 3 led status

P-E - led light

P-N - led light

P-N - reverse led not light

If indicating light's status is not like this, don't test and check the

wires again.

3.1. Voltage test

When the tester is linked to the power, LCD will update the voltage (P-E)

per second. If the voltage is unusual or not expected value, don't proceed

with the test!

The tester only used in AC230V +10% -15% (50Hz).

3.2. Loop test

Turn the tester to 20, 200 or 2000Ω range. Push the test button, LCD will

display the value and unit, the tester will beep once after the test is over.

To get better value turn the tester to lower range as possible. If LCD flash

" " , disconnect the tester and power and make the tester cool down.

3.3. Prospective short current test

Turn the tester to 200A, 2000A or 20kA range. Push the test button, LCD

will display the value and unit, the tester will beep once after the test is

over.

To get better value set the tester to lower range as possible. If LCD flash

" " , disconnect the tester and power and make the tester cool down.

4. FEATURES

Lines test 3 LED indicates lines state. When reversed, the

third LED lights up.

Over heat protect When the temperature of the resister is high,

the tester will cut and lock. LCD will display

"Temperature is High" and flash the flag " "

Overload protect When the volt of P-E is up to 250V, the tester

will stop test to protect the tester and LCD will

flash "250V”

Low Battery Indication The flag " " is displayed when the battery

voltage drop below the operating voltage.

Test mode When you press the key "test", tester will

display the result for 5's then display the

voltage.

Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and Humidity

below 80% RH

Storage Temperature -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F) and Humidity

below 70% RH

Power source 6 x AA batteries

Dimensions 200(L) x 92(W) x 50(H) mm

Weight Approx 700g including battery .

7. MEASUREMENT OF LOOP IMPEDANCE AND PROSPECTIVE

SHORT CURRENT

If there is a RCD or fuse in the circuit, they must be bridged out prior to

testing the loop impedance.

According to IEC 60364, every loop should meet the formula: Ra≤50/la

Ra: loop impedance

50: max of touch voltage

Ia: the current than can make the protection device break down the circuit

in 5 seconds.

When protection device is RCD, Ia is rated residual current IΔn.

IΔn 10 30 100 300 500 1000 mA

Ia(50v) 5000 1667 500 167 100 50 Ω

Ia(25v) 2500 833 250 83 50 25 Ω

According to IEC 60364, every loop should meet the formula: Zs ≤ Uо/la

When protection device is FUSE, Uо=230V, la and Zsmax:

Rated Break time (5s) Break time (0.4s)

Current Ia(A) Zs(Ω) Ia(A) Zs(Ω)

6 28 8.2 47 4.9

10 46 5 82 2.8

16 65 3.6 110 2.1

20 85 2.7 147 1.56

25 110 2.1 183 1.25

32 150 1.53 275 0.83

40 190 1.21 320 0.72

80 425 0.54 840 0.27

100 580 0.39 1020 0.22

Prospective short current must be bigger than la.

8. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

1. When the low battery symbol " " appears on the LCD, the six 1.5V 'AA'

batteries must be replaced.

2. Turn the meter off and remove the test leads

3. Unsnap the tilt stand from the rear of the meter

4. Remove the four Phillips head screws holding the battery cover

5. Remove the battery compartment cover

6. Replace the batteries observing polarity

7. Affix the rear cover and secure the screws.

8. Reattach the tilt stand
