The icon with the meter name is placed next to sections of the text that refer to specific fea-
tures of the device. All other parts of the text relate to all types of the instrument.
1 Security
MPI-540 meter is designed for performing check tests of protection against electric shock in AC
mains systems and recording mains systems parameters. The meter is used for performing meas-
urements and providing results to determine the level safety of electrical installations. Therefore, in
order to provide conditions for correct operation and accuracy of obtained results, the following rec-
ommendations must be observed:
Before you proceed to operate the meter, familiarise yourself thoroughly with this manual
and observe the safety regulations and specifications provided by the manufacturer.
Any application that differs from those specified in this manual may result in a damage to the de-
vice and constitute a source of danger for the user.
MPI-540 meters must be operated only by appropriately qualified personnel with relevant certifi-
cates authorising the personnel to perform works on electric systems. Unauthorized use of the
meter may result in its damage and may be a source of serious 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:
a damaged meter which is completely or partially out of order,
a meter with damaged insulation,
a meter stored for an excessive period of time in disadvantageous conditions (e.g. excessive
humidity). If the meter has been transferred from a cool to a warm environment with a high level
of relative humidity, do not start measurements until the meter is warmed up to the ambient tem-
perature (approximately 30 minutes).
If the battery is discharged to a level preventing further measurements, the meter displays an ap-
propriate message and then turns off.
Battery spill and damage to the meter may occur if discharged batteries are left in the meter.
Before measurement, make sure that test leads are connected to appropriate measuring termi-
nals.
Do not operate a meter with an open or incorrectly closed battery (accumulator) compartment or
power it from other sources than those specified in the present manual.
R
ISO
meter inputs are electronically protected against overloads (caused by e.g. connecting the
meter to a live circuit) up to 463V RMS for 60 seconds.
Repairs may be performed only by an authorised service point.
NOTE!
Only accessories for a given device should be used, as listed in section 9. Using oth-
er accessories may cause damage to measuring terminals, introduce additional
measurement errors and create a risk for the user.
Due to continuous development of the meter’s software, the actual appearance of the
display, in case of some of the functions, may differ from the display presented in this
operating manual.
