This meter meets CAT II IEC 61010 standards. The IEC 61010 safety
standard defines four measurement categories (CAT I to IV) based
on the magnitude of danger from transient impulses. CAT II meters
are designed to protect against transients in energy consuming
equipment supplied from fixed installation.

Part Number Description
Wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Dirt or moisture in the
terminals can affect safe use and correct functioning.
If the IPC or connecting leads are damaged, then the IPC will need to be replaced.
Verify the IPC operation by momentarily connecting a known 230VAC voltage to each combination of phase pairs
until, all 6 Indicators have been illuminated.
The battery can be tested by holding the MEM button for 4 seconds: If 6 LEDs light, then the batteries are good.
Use only alkaline batteries.
If storing for long periods remove batteries - in case of leakage.

Operation and Memory

Testing Procedure

Pre-Test Safety

Disconnect power, wait for capacitor discharge before testing.

Compressor Disconnection

Test must be performed with the compressor disconnected from the Inverter Board.

Connection Method

Connect L1, L2, L3 of IPC to inverter outputs U, V, W. Ensure secure connections.

Initial Checks

Clear memory, check battery (hold MEM 4s), LEDs light in sequence.

System Configuration

Configure system to call for cooling to initiate inverter start-up.
