instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.
USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
Refer to
instructions
1. SAFETY
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
9
Operate the vehicle to be tested in a well ventilated area. Exhaust gases are poisonous. If necessary connect the vehicle
9
exhaust to a fume extraction system.
Place chocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended whilst testing is in progress.
9
Be extra cautious when working in close proximity to the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
9
components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.
Ensure that the handbrake is on and the gearbox is in neutral or 'Park' for automatic transmissions.
9
Keep fire extinguishers nearby that are suitable for petrol/chemical/electrical fires.
9
Keep the analyser clean and in good condition.
9
Remain vigilant when using the code reader on, or near, machinery where there are rotational parts such as belts, pulleys
9
and fans.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery, and contain and/or tie back long hair.
9
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
9
DO NOT attempt to connect or disconnect any test equipment whilst the ignition is on or the engine is running.
8
DO NOT use the analyser if damage is suspected. If suspected damage occurs with the device, have it inspected by qualified
8
service personnel before using it again.
DO NOT get the analyser wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
8
DO NOT use the analyser for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
8
DO NOT allow untrained persons to use analyser.
8
DO NOT use the analyser when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8
DO NOT operate in a potentially explosive environment/atmosphere.
8
WARNING: The warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions
‰
and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into
this product, but must be applied by the operator.
2. INTRODUCTION
Specially designed for hybrid vehicles and conforms to EN61010 CAT III (1000V) and CAT IV (600V). Unlike other multimeters this
unit has an insulation test function that allows testing of the insulation of the high voltage cables and motor generator units found on
hybrid vehicles. Can be used as a standalone device or linked wirelessly with a USB interface to a PC or laptop enabling results to be
graphed, saved or printed. Supplied with high voltage probes, thermocouple soft storage bag and wireless USB cable. The unit also has
the usual functions expected on a high quality multimeter including true RMS (Root-Mean-Square) and IP67 waterproof rating.

  • Page 8 Operating Instructions WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. 1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. 2. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected.
  • Page 9 AC VOLTAGE (FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it.

  • Page 18 connect one megohmmeter lead to the grounded motor housing and the other lead to the brush on the commutator. If the resistance measurement indicates a weakness, raise the brushes off the commutator and separately test the armature, field coils and brush rigging by connecting one megohmmeter lead to each of them individually, leaving the other connected to the grounded motor housing.
  • Page 19 CABLES Disconnect the cable from the line. Also disconnect opposite end to avoid errors due to leakage from other equipment. Check each conductor to ground and /or lead sheath by connecting one megohmmeter lead to a ground and /or lead sheather and the other megohmmeter lead to each of the conductors in turn.
  • Page 20 AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into AutoRanging. This automatically selects the best range for the measurements being made and is generally the best mode for most measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following: 1.
