Simpson 228 - 4 Interpreting the Meter Dial Scales

10
Burn Hazard Scale (measured in mA RMS)
Used when selecting the BURN HAZARD function in order to read potential burn
hazard leakage current.
Shock Hazard Scales (measured in MIU RMS and MIU Peak)
Used when selecting the SHOCK HAZARD function in order to measure shock
hazard leakage current. The MIU Peak scale reads 1.4 times the RMS value and
assumes a sinusoidal waveform.
Important: Read the MIU Peak scale only if the equipment specification calls for
a peak reading and when certain that the leakage current is sinusoidal. See
Section 10, RMS VS. PEAK, for more information on RMS and Peak measure-
ment limits.
Volts Scale (0-300 volts)
Used when selecting the VO LT S function.
Battery Scale
Indicates battery condition when selecting the BATT function.
