4. Preparation for measurement
4.1 Auto-power-on / Self-diagnostic test
●Auto-power-on
►Short-circuiting the probes as follows powers
on the instrument automatically and goes into a
Self-diagnostic test. If the tester is not in sleeping
mode, please wait for 10 seconds and carry out
the Self-diagnostic test.
Instrument may power on;
* when replacing Tips, or
* due to the influence of static charge.
►When the battery voltage is below 2.4±0.1V,
Rx LED blinks (and the battery symbol will also
light up as for ELMA2100X) which indicates that
the battery capacity is low.
●Self-diagnostic test
WARNING
Do not use the instrument when abnormality
is found at Self-diagnostic test.
►Battery voltage is normal when all LEDs are
lighting up and the buzzer is beeping.
►When the battery voltage is below approx. 2.6V, L
and/or R LEDs will not light up and the Phase
rotation test of Clause 6.4 will not operate.
►When the Rx LED blinks, all the functions except
for the double-pole test without batteries of Clause
6.2 will not be guaranteed.
►When the necessary functions will not operate,
please replace the batteries according to Clause 7.
●Auto-power off
►Instrument is automatically powered off after 5
sec when there is no signal contacted to the
probes.
Auto-power off may not operate;
* when replacing Tips, or
* when a significant electric magnetic field exists
in the vicinity.
5. Handy construction
Diameter and length (adapter cap) of the Tips
are changeable by user.
WARNING
Remove the probes from the measurement
point when replacing Tips or Caps.
5.1 Tip Replacement
►Following shows how to install 4mm Tips on
L1 probe – and L2 probe +.
►Firmly tighten up the 4mm Tips.
5.2 CAT.III/IV Cap Replacement
►Following shows how to install the CAT.III/IV cap
on L1 probe – and L2 probe +.
►Gently put the CAT.III/IV cap onto the probes.
►Do not install the CAT.III/IV cap when the 4mm
Tips is installed.
6. Measurement
WARNING
●Carefully check Clause 2 as well.
●Self-diagnostic test should be done prior to
measurements and confirm LED and
buzzer works properly.
●Verify proper operation on a known source
before and after use even if the
Self-diagnostic test is OK.
●Make sure that you can hear the buzzer at
locations with a high background noise.
●Keep your hand and fingers behind the
Finger guards on the probes during
measurements.
●Due to the high internal resistance (approx.
200kΩ), capacitive and inductive voltages
(interference voltages) may be indicated.
●Make sure that the test probes have good
contact. Oxide layers on the device under
test may influence the measurement.
●Be sure to attach the CAT.III/IV caps when
measuring at the CAT.III/IV environment.
6.1 Voltage test
(Double-pole test)
►Connect both probes
to the device under test.
►The voltage is indicated
by LEDs and LCD (only
ELMA2100X).
Buzzer sounds when a
threshold voltage of 38V
is exceeded.
Live circuit LED lights up
when the threshold
voltage of 50V LED
is exceeded.
►Voltage polarity is indicated in following
manner.
NOTE
●This instrument can make measurements
between L-PE without tripping RCDs.
●When the L2 probe + is the positive (negative)
potential, the Polarity indication LED indicates
“+DC” (“-DC”).
●L/R LED may light up.
6.2 Double-pole test without batteries
Respective LEDs light up even when double-pole
test carried out without batteries.
Only the threshold voltage of the 12V LED
changes to approx. 12V or more.
The threshold voltage of other LEDs
(24/50/120/230/400/690V) are according to the
Specification. (See Clause 8)
6.3 Single-pole phase test
►Hold the instrument firmly and connect the L2
probe + to the device under test.
►Live circuit LED lights up and buzzer sounds
when a voltage of approx. 100V AC or more
exists in the device under test.
Hold Firmly!!!
Tighten
Loosen
12V LED blinks at
below approx. 7V
(AC only).

WARNING
●Carefully handle L1 probe – when it is not
in use.
●Function of this test may not be fully
achieved
: if the insulation condition of user or of the
device under test is not sufficient.
: if the device under test contains much
high frequency component which exceeds
Verification of live-circuit shouldn’t be
dependent on this Single-pole phase test
only, but also on the Double-pole test.
(See Clause 6.1.)
60 Hz.
6.4 Phase rotation test
L LED and R LED for Phase rotation test may
operate on various wiring systems, but effective
testing result can be obtained only on Three-phase
4-wire system.
►Hold the instrument firmly and connect both
probes to the device under test.
►Phase-to-phase voltage is indicated by each
Voltage LED.
►R LED lights up for Right rotary field.
The principle of measurement
The instrument detects the phase rising order
regarding the user as EARTH.
6.5 Continuity test
WARNING
Make sure the device under test isn’t live.
►Rx LED lights up and buzzer should sound
continuously.
6.6 Pen light function
(Illuminating the Measurement Point)
Pen light illuminates the measurement
point in dimly lit area.
►Pressing the Pen light switch to turn on the
light and after (10s) it will turn itself off.
NOTE
●Using the Pen light shortens the battery life.
7. Battery Replacement
WARNING
Remove the probes from any testing point,
when opening the Battery case.
Follow the procedure below and replace batteries
with new ones(type IEC LR03 1.5V).
►Unlock the Battery case with a coin-shaped
object.
Lock Unlock
►Pull out the Battery case and replace the
batteries. Insert new batteries according to the
engraving on the Battery case.
