1. PRESENTATION
VIP CLAMP MINI
emphasises reliability and simplicity of use to respond to the needs of power professionals:
- A compact unit integrating the current sensor for intensity measurements without breaking the test circuit
- Outstanding ergonomic features, in particular: -automatic or manual selection of the type of signal to be measured,
AC or DC,
- measurement of the RMS value of any signal (AC+DC),
- automatic selection of measurement calibre,
- programmable audio voltage indication: V-Live,
-measurement range exceeded indication,
- Backlighting of the digital display
- auto power off system, -MIN - MAX PEAK value recording function,
- correction of deviations in DC measurement (DC zero)
- automatic compensation of measurement cable resistance (
W
zero).
- Compliance with CEI electrical safety standards and CE markings
- Lightness and ruggedness for field use With all new additional features:
- Inrush function in particular for measurement of motor starting currents.
- Phase order indication function using 2-wire technique PFISTERER Licence - (instead of 3-wire) capable of
determination through contact only, with no fastidious connections.
2. DESCRIPTION
(vedi schema § 8 Allegato)
Jaws
6-way rotary switch:
OFF
Deactivation of the clamp, activation is ensured by selection of other functions
V
Measurement of DC and AC voltages (rms value)
Continuity measurement, by use of the yellow resistance key and semi-conductor test
A Measurement of DC and AC voltages (rms value)
PF
Measurement of active, reactive and apparent
var W~
powers and power factor in single phase or
VA
balanced 3 phases systems (by use of the yellow key)
Selection of phase order indicator for 3- phase system with or without neutral
Command keys
The keys are capable of 3 types of action:
Short pressure
>1.3 s, it is valid if the key pressure is detected
Long pressure
> 1.3 s, this gives access to a measurement or operating mode. Holding or releasing the key has
no effect.
Held pressure
Gives access to a measurement or operating mode and remains in this mode as long as pressure is held. Releasing
the key causes return to the previous mode.
· HOLD
has 4 different functions (see description § 3.12):
- Display lock
- Preselection of MIN/MAX mode
- Automatic compensation for cable resistance
- Automatic compensation of current measurement zero
· The yellow key
has 6 different functions (see also description § 3.12):
- Manual selection of AC, DC or AC+DC mode
- Selection of INRUSH function -Selection of resistance function (
W
), semi-conductor test ontinuity test ( )
- Measurement of active, reactive, apparent powers and power factor calculation -Single phase or balanced three
phases systems selection
- Phase order indication measurement (see description § 3.11)
·
MIN/MAX
operates by end-around shift on short pressure:
