MPI-506 USER MANUAL
5
1 Safety
The meter is designed for testing the protection against electric shock in the mains systems. The
meter is used to make measurements which results determine the electrical installation safety level.
Consequently, in order to ensure safe operation and correct measurement results, observe the follow-
ing recommendations:
Before you proceed to operate the meter, acquaint yourself thoroughly with the present manual
and observe the safety regulations and recommendations of the manufacturer.
Any application that differs from those specified in the present manual may cause damage of the
instrument and a serious hazard to its user.
The meters must be operated solely by appropriately qualified personnel with relevant certificates
to perform measurements of electric installation. Operation of the instrument by unauthorized per-
sonnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a hazard to the user.
Using this manual does not exclude the need to comply with occupational health and safety regu-
lations and with other relevant fire regulations required during the performance of a particular type
of work. Before starting the work with the device in special environments, e.g. potentially fire-
risk/explosive environment, it is necessary to consult it with the person responsible for health and
safety.
It is unacceptable to operate the following:
a damaged meter which is completely or partially out of order,
leads with damaged insulation,
a meter which ahs been stored to long in unsuitable conditions (for example is wet). When the
meter is transferred from cold environment to warm and humid one, do not make measure-
ments until the meter warms up to the ambient temperature (about 30 minutes).
Remember that the message on the display means that the power supply voltage is too low and
indicates the need to replace/ charge the batteries. The measurements performed with the meter with
insufficient supply voltage have additional measuring errors which are impossible to be evaluated by
the user and cannot be the basis to determine the correct protection of the tested installation.
Do not leave the discharged batteries in the meter as they can leak and damage the instrument.
Before starting the measurement, check if the leads are connected to correct measuring terminals.
Never use the meters with open or only partially closed battery compartment cover and use only
the power supplies specified in this manual.
Repairs may be performed solely by an authorized service outlet.
NOTE!
Only accessories for a given device should be used, as listed in section 11. Using
other accessories may cause damage to measuring terminals, introduce additional
measurement error and create a risk for the user.
An attempt to install drivers in 64-bit Windows 8 and Windows 10 may result in dis-
playing "Installation failed" message.
o Cause: Windows 8 and Windows 10 by default blocks drivers without a digi-
tal signature.
o Solution: Disable the driver signature enforcement in Windows.
Due to continuous development of the meter’s software, the actual appearance of
the display, in case of some of the functions, may slightly differ from the display
presented in this operating manual.
