Preparation For Tests; Auto-Power-On / Switching On; Auto-Power Off; Conducting Tests - METREL MD 1060-LED Manual Del Usuario

Preparation for tests

7.1.

Auto-power-on / switching on


The tester switches on when it detects continuity, an AC or DC voltage above approx. 10V
or a live phase on L2 (single pole test).

It can be switched on with the torch light button.
7.2.

Auto-power off


Tester is automatically powered off after 5 sec when there is no signal contacted to the
probes.

The torch light switches off after approx. 10 sec.

Conducting tests

8.1.

Voltage test


Connect both probes to the object under test.

The voltage is indicated by LEDs and LCD (MD 1160 only)

Buzzer sounds when a threshold voltage of approx. 38VAC or approx. 100 VDC is
exceeded.

Voltage polarity is indicated in following manner.
 AC: + and – 12V LED are on
 +DC: +12V LED is on
 -DC: -12V LED is on
When the L2 probe + is the positive (negative) potential, the Polarity indication LED
indicates "+DC" ("-DC").
During voltage test, L or R LED may light up.
In case of empty batteries, the ELV LED lights up >50VAC, >120VDC.
8.2.

Single-pole phase test

Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the insulation condition/ grounding
conditions of user or of the equipment under test aren't good enough. Verification of live-
circuit shouldn't be dependent on this Single-pole phase test only, but on the voltage test.

Hold the tester good in your hand. Connect the "L2 +" probe to the object under test. Live
circuit LED lights up and buzzer sounds when a voltage of approx. 100V AC or more exists
in the object under test. (Pol≥100VAC).
8.3.

Phase rotation test


L LED and R LED for Phase rotation test may operate on various wiring systems, but
effective testing result can be obtained only on three-phase 4-wire system.

Hold the tester good in your hand and connect both probes to the object under test.

Phase-to-phase voltage is indicated by Voltage LEDs.

R LED lights up for Right rotary field.

L LED lights up for Left rotary field.

Measurement principle: The instrument detects the phase rising order regarding the user as
earth.
Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the insulation condition/ grounding
conditions of user or of the equipment under test is not good enough.
8.4.

Continuity test

Make sure the object under test isn't live.

Connect both test probes to the object under test. Continuity LED lights up and buzzer
sounds continuously to indicate continuity.
