SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES This clamp complies with IEC/EN61010-1. For your own safety and in order to avoid damaging the instrument, you're recommended to keep to the instructions contained in this manual and read carefully all the notes preceded by the symbol . Take extreme care for the following conditions while measuring: Do not measure voltage or current in humid or wet environment. Do not use the meter in presence of explosive gas (material), combustible gas (material), steam or dust. Insulate yourself from the object to be tested. Do not touch exposed metal (conductive) parts such as test lead ends, sockets, fixing objects, circuits, etc. If you detect anomalies of testing end (metal part) and attachment of the meter such as breakages, deformations, foreign substances, no display, etc., do not take any measurement. Measuring voltage over 20V as it might cause human body electricity conduction. The followings symbols are used on meter and in this manual: Caution: refer to the instruction manual. An incorrect use may damage the tester or its components High Voltage ranger: electrical shock risk Double insulated instrument AC Voltage or Current DC Voltage or Current Ground reference 1.1. PRELIMINARY This apparatus has been designed for use in an environment of pollution degree 2. Indoor use. It measures CURRENT and VOLTAGE on CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V plants. For measurement categories please see § 1.4. You must comply with the usual safety regulations aimed at protecting you against the dangerous electric current and protecting the instrument against an incorrect operation. Only the leads supplied with the instrument guarantee compliance with the safety standards. They must be in good conditions and they must be replaced, if necessary, with an identical model. Do not test or connect to any circuit whose voltage or current exceeds the specified overload protection. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly. Before connecting the test probes to the installation, check that the function selector is positioned on the required measurement. Make sure that the LCD and the range indicator show the same as the function desired. EN - 2 HT9019 1.2. DURING USE Always keep to the instructions contained in this manual. CAUTION Non compliance with the CAUTIONs and/or the instructions may damage the tester and/or its components or injure the operator. Before changing the switch position, take off the clamp jaw from the tested conductor or the electrical circuit in order to avoid any accident When the clamp is connected to the circuits to be tested, never touch unused terminals When testing resistors, do not add voltage. Although there is a protection circuit, excessive voltage would cause malfunctioning Before measuring current, remove the voltage-resistance test leads When measuring current, any strong current close to the clamp jaw will affect the accuracy When measuring current, always put the tested conductor in the middle of the clamp jaw in order to obtain a more accurate reading If the reading value or the sign indication remains unchanged during the measurement, check if the HOLD function is active 1.3. AFTER USE Once the measurements are completed, turn the rotary switch to OFF. If you expect not to use the clamp for a long time, remove the battery. 1.4. MEASURING (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORIES DEFINITIONS The norm EN 61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use, Part 1: General requirements, defines what measuring category, usually called overvoltage category, is. On § 6.7.4: Measuring circuits, it says: (OMISSIS) circuits are divided into the following measurement categories: Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the lowvoltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units. Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection to fixed installation. Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.. Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.. Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS-derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the norm requires that the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user. EN - 3 HT9019 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION HT9019 meter can perform the herewith measurements: DC and AC TRMS Voltage up to 1000V AC TRMS Current up to 1000A Resistance and continuity test with buzzer AC voltage detection with and without contact with integrated sensor Each parameter can be selected by rotating the 7 positions switch. To abilitate the hold function the HOLD key is available. There are also the following keys: "MODE "MAX/MIN", "REL", "PEAK" and " ". For their use please see § 4.2. The selected quantity appears on a LCD display with indication of measurement units and functions. An analogical bargraph it is also availbale 2.1. TRMS AND MEAN VALUE MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Safety testers for alternate parameters are divided into two big families: MEAN VALUE instruments: instruments which measure only the value of the wave at the fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz) TRUE ROOT MEAN SQUARE instruments, also defined as TRMS: instruments which measure the true root mean square value of the quantity under test. In presence of a perfectly sinusoidal wave, both families provide identical results. In presence of distorted waves the readings are different. Mean value instruments provide only the value of the fundamental wave while True RMS instruments provide the value of the entire wave, including harmonics (within the passband of the instrument). Accordingly, if the same quantity is measured with both kinds of instruments, the measured values are identical only if the wave is purely sinusoidal. Should it be distorted, True RMS instruments provide higher values than medium value instruments. 2.2. TRUE ROOT MEAN SQUARE VALUE AND CREST FACTOR DEFINITIONS The current effective value is defined as follows: "In an interval of time equivalent to a period, an alternate current with effective value having an intensity of 1A, by passing on a resistor, disperses the same energy which would be dispersed in the same period of time by a direct current having an intensity of 1A". From this definition comes the numerical expression: G= 1 t0 T g 2 (t)dt The effective value is indicated as RMS (root mean square). T t0 The Crest Factor is defined as the ratio between the Peak Value of a signal and its effective value: CF (G)= G p . This value varies according to the waveform of the signal, G RMS for a purely sinusoidal wave it's worth 2 =1.41. In presence of distortions the Crest Factor assumes higher values as long as the wave distortion is higher. EN - 4 HT9019 3. PREPARATION FOR USE 3.1. INITIAL The tester has been checked from a mechanical and electrical point of view before shipment. Every care has been taken to make sure that the instrument reaches you in perfect conditions. However, it's advisable to make a rapid check in order to detect any damage which may have occurred in transit. Should this be the case, enter immediately the usual claims with the carrier. Make sure that all the accessories listed in § 6.3 are contained in the package. In case of discrepancies contact Your dealer. In case of returning of the tester please keep to the instructions given in § 7. 3.2. POWER SUPPLY The instrument is battery supplied. One 1x9V battery type NEDA 1604 IEC 6F22 JIS 006P is included in the package. Battery life: about 200 hours. When batteries are low, the symbol " " appears on the display. Replace them immediately, following the instructions given in § 5.2. The instrument disposes of the Auto Power OFF function (not disable) consisting in an automatic switching off 15 minutes of idleness 3.3. CALIBRATION The tester complies with the technical features listed in this manual. Its performances are guaranteed for one year. 3.4. STORAGE In order to guarantee the accuracy of the measurements, after a period of storage under extreme environmental condition, wait for the necessary time so that the tester returns to normal measuring conditions (see § 6.2.1).
