6 MEASURING 

PROCEDURE 

6.1  USING THE INSTRUMENT IN A SINGLE PHASE PLANT 

 

 

WARNING 

 

 

 

The maximum overvoltage is CAT III 1000V

 to ground or CAT IV 600V

 to 

ground. Do not attempt to take any voltage measurements exceeding the 
limits indicated in this manual. Exceeding the limits could cause electrical 
shock or damage to the instrument.

WARNING 

 

 

If possible de-energize the plant under test before connecting the instrument. 
Take all the safety precautions before taking actions on the plant. 

 
1.  De-energize the plant under test before connecting the meter. 
2.  Open the flexible head by pressing on expected points (see Fig. 1). 
3.  Clamp the cable under measurement with the head and close it. 
4.  To increase the reading accuracy the clamped cable must be in the middle of the head. 
5.  Re-energize the plant under test. 
6. 

How to start a Recording:

 

  If no recording was performed or if the recording data was already downloaded to a 

PC, pressing and keeping the 

START/STOP

 key for 3 seconds. The STATUS LED 

will be lighting for the same time, than will be stable lighting for 1 second and the 
meter will start the recording. 

  If the recording data was not already downloaded to a PC 

but the operator wants 

to overwrite these data

, pressing and keeping the 

START/STOP

 key for 6 

seconds. The STATUS LED will be quickly blinking during the key pressing for the 
same time, than the LED will be stable lighting for 1 second and the instrument will 
start the recording. 

The old recording will be deleted and overwritten by the new 

one.

 The meter will wait for the next minute beginning (second=00) and the STATUS 

LED is double blinking. After that the recording starts and the STATUS LED blinks 
every 3 seconds. The instrument is storing the data.
