1 Safety

The MIC-5010 and MIC-5005meters are designed for performing check tests of protection against

electric shock in mains systems. The meters are used for making measurements and providing results

to determine safety of electrical installations. Therefore, in order to provide conditions for correct oper-

ation and accuracy of obtained results, the following recommendations must be observed:

Before you proceed to operate the meter, acquaint yourself thoroughly with the present manual and

observe the safety regulations and specifications provided by the producer.

Any application that differs from those specified in the present manual may result in a damage to

the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.

The MIC-5010 and MIC-5005 meters must be operated only by appropriately qualified personnel

with relevant certificates authorising the personnel to perform works on electric systems. Operating

the meter by unauthorised personnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a source of

danger for the user.

During measurements of insulation resistance, dangerous voltage up to 5 kV occurs at the ends of

test leads of the meter.

Before themeasurement of insulation resistance you must be sure thattested object is disconnected

from the power supply.

During the measurement of insulation resistance do not disconnect test leads from the tested object

before the measurement is completed (see par. 3.1.1.); otherwise the capacitance of the object will

not be discharged, creating the risk of electric shock.

Using this manual does not exclude the need to comply with occupational health and safety regula-

tions and with other relevant fire regulations required during the performance of a particular type of

work. Before starting the work with the device in special environments, e.g. potentially fire-risk/ex-

plosive environment, it is necessary to consult it with the person responsible for health and safety.

It is unacceptable to operate:

a damaged meter which is completely or partially out of order,

a test leads with damaged insulation,

a meter stored for an excessive period of time in disadvantageous conditions (e.g. excessive

humidity). If the meter has been transferred from a cool to a warm environment with a high level

of relative humidity, do not start measurements until the meter is warmed up to the ambient

temperature (approximately 30 minutes).

One should remember that when the word appears on the display, it indicates insufficient

voltage of power supply and the need to recharge the batteries.

The symbols ErrX, where Xis a number between 0 to 9, indicate incorrect operation of the meter.

If after restarting the device this situation is repeated - it indicates that the meter is damaged.

Before measurement, choose a correct measurement function and make sure that test leads are

connected to respective measuring terminals.

Do not power the meter from sources other than those listed in this manual.

The RISO inputs of the meter are protected electronically from overload (e.g. due to having been

connected to a live circuit) up to 660V rms for 60 seconds.

Repairs may be performed only by an authorised service point.

Note:

Due to continuous development of the meter’s software, the actual appearance of the display,

in case of some of the functions, may slightly differ from the display presented in this oper-

ating manual.

ATTENTION!

To display the correct battery discharge status, it is necessary to completely discharge and

then fully charge the battery, before starting the regular use of the meter.

Note:

An attempt to install drivers in 64-bit Windows 8 mayresult in displaying "Installation failed"

message.

Cause: Windows 8 by default blocks drivers without a digital signature.

Solution: Disable the driver signature enforcement in Windows.

2 Meter Configuration

Turn on the meter by pressing and

holding the MENU button.

The buttons and are used to set the

parameter value, while the and but-

tons move to the next parameter.

The setting sequence is as follows:

Rated grid frequency (50 Hz and 60 Hz).

Auto-off time (300 s, 600 s, 900 s) or none (---).

MIC-5010, MIC-5005 –USER MANUAL

Pin, the digit being set is blinking. Moving to the next digit with

the F3 and F4 buttons.

The same code must be entered in the computer programme for wireless transmis-

sion. It is used to prevent access of unauthorized persons to the meter via wireless

connections (external entities).

Absorption coefficients for RISO: Ab1, Ab2 ( ) or PI, DAR ( ).

Each change sets the t1, t2 and t3 to their default values: for

Ab1/Ab2 t1=15s, t2=60, t3=0, and for PI/DAR t1=30, t2=60,

t3=0).

Enabling ( ) and disabling ( ) the limit settings (only MIC-

5010).
