2 Safety Features and Precautions

You have selected an instrument which provides you with high levels of safety.

This instrument fulfills all requirements of applicable EU directives and national regulations. We confirm this with the CE mark. The relevant declaration of conformity can be obtained from GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH.

The TRMS digital multimeter has been manufactured and tested in accordance with the following safety regulations: IEC 61010–1:2010 / DIN EN 61 010–1:2011 (VDE 0411–1:2011) and IEC 61010-2-033:2012 / DIN EN 61010-2-033 (VDE 04112-033) When used for its intended purpose (see page 6), safety of the operator, as well as that of the instrument, is assured. Their safety is however not guaranteed, if the instrument is used improperly or handled carelessly.

In order to maintain flawless technical safety conditions, and to assure safe use, it’s imperative that you read the operating instructions thoroughly and carefully before placing your instrument into service, and that you follow all instructions contained therein. Make sure that the operating instructions are available to all users of the instrument.

Tests may only be executed by a qualified electrician.

The multimeter is equipped with an automatic socket blocking mechanism for your safety, and in order to safeguard your instrument. This mechanism is linked to the rotary switch and only allows access to those jacks which are actually required for the selected function. It also prevents the user from turning the rotary switch to impermissible functions after the measurement cables have already been plugged in.

Measuring Categories and their Significance per IEC 61010-1

CAT Definition

Measurements in electrical circuits

which are not directly connected to the mains:

e.g. electrical systems in motor vehicles and aircraft, batteries etc.

Measurements in electrical circuits

which are electrically connected to the low-voltage mains:

via plug, e.g. in household, office and laboratory applications

Measurements in building installations:

III

stationary consumers, distributor terminals, devices connected permanently to the distributor

Measurements at power sources for low-voltage installations:

meters, mains terminals, primary overvoltage protection devices

The measuring category and the maximum rated voltage which are printed on the device apply to your measuring instrument, e.g. 1000 V CAT III.

Refer to chapter 10.2 regarding use of the measurement cables.

Observe the following safety precautions:

• The multimeter may not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

• The multimeter may only be operated by persons who are capable of recognizing touch hazards and taking the appropriate safety precautions. Touch hazards in accordance with the standard exist anywhere, where voltages of greater than 33 V (RMS) or 70 V DC may occur. Avoid working alone when taking measurements which involve touch hazards. Be certain that a second person is present.

• Maximum allowable voltage between the voltage measuring sockets or all connector sockets and ground is 1000 V for measuring category III and 600 V for measuring category IV.

• Be prepared for the occurrence of unexpected voltages at devices under test (e.g. defective devices). For example, capacitors may be dangerously charged.

• Make certain that the measurement cables are in flawless condition, e.g. no damage to insulation, no interruptions in cables or plugs etc.

• No measurements may be made with this instrument in electrical circuits with corona discharge (high-voltage).

• Special care is required when measurements are made in HF electrical circuits. Dangerous pulsating voltages may be present.

• Measurements under moist ambient conditions are not permitted.

• Be absolutely certain that the measuring ranges are not overloaded beyond their allowable capacities. Limit values are included in chapter 8, “Characteristic Values”, in the table entitled “Measuring Functions and Measuring Ranges” in the “Overload Capacity” column.

• The multimeter may only be operated with installed rechargeable

batteries or mains module. Dangerous currents and voltages are otherwise not indicated, and the instrument may be damaged.

• Weak (insufficiently charged) rechargeable battery If the “weak battery” icon appears in the battery level indicator, it’s no longer permissible to perform safety-relevant measurements. Furthermore, compliance with the listed specifications is no longer assured in the case of a weak rechargeable battery.

• The instrument may not be operated if the fuse cover, the rechargeable battery pack or the mains module has been removed, or if its housing is open.

• The input for the current measuring range is equipped with a fuse link. Maximum permissible voltage for the measuring circuit (= rated voltage of the fuse) is 1000 V AC/DC. Use specified fuses only (see page 49)! The fuse must have a

breaking capacity of at least 30 kA.

Opening the Instrument / Repairs

The instrument may only be opened by authorized, trained personnel in order to ensure flawless operation and to assure that the guarantee is not rendered null and void.

Even original replacement parts may only be installed by authorized, trained personnel.

If it can be ascertained that the instrument has been opened by unauthorized personnel, no guarantee claims can be honored by the manufacturer with regard to personal safety, measuring accuracy, compliance with applicable safety measures or any consequential damages.

If a guarantee seal is included and it has been damaged or removed, all guarantee claims are rendered null and void.

Repair and Replacement of Parts by Authorized, Trained Personnel

When the instrument is opened, voltage conducting parts may be exposed. The instrument must be disconnected from the measuring circuit before performing repairs or replacing parts. If repair of a live, open instrument is required, it may only be carried out by trained personnel who are familiar with the dangers involved.

Defects and Extraordinary Strains

If it may be assumed that the instrument can no longer be operated safely, it must be removed from service and secured against unintentional use. Safe operation can no longer be relied upon:

• If the device demonstrates visible damage

• If the instrument no longer functions, or if malfunctioning occurs

• After long periods of storage under unfavorable conditions (e.g. humidity, dust or extreme temperature (see “Ambient Conditions” on page 49)

GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 5

2.1 Use for Intended Purpose

Attention!

• The multimeter is a portable device which can be held in the hand during the performance of measurements.

• Only those types of measurements described in chapter 6 may be performed with the measuring instrument.

• The measuring instrument, including measurement cables and plug-on test probes, may only be utilized within the specified measuring category (see page 53 and the table on page 5 regarding significance).

• Overload limits may not be exceeded. See technical data on page 47 for overload values and overload limits.

• Measurements may only be performed under the specified ambient conditions. See page 49 regarding operating temperature range and relative humidity.

• The measuring instrument may only be used in accordance with the specified degree of protection (IP code) (see page 50).

Data Backup

We advise you to regularly transfer your stored data to a PC in order to prevent potential loss of data in the test instrument. We assume no responsibility for any data loss.

Battery Pack Safety Precautions

The test instrument is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Consequently, it’s absolutely essential to observe the following points:

• Temperature ranges: The test instrument with battery pack must not be exposed to direct sunlight or charged, operated or stored at high temperatures, for example in a car.

The following ambient conditions apply to the battery pack:

– Charging mode (10 ... 45 °C): The battery may only be charged

within this temperature range.

– Measuring mode (–10 ... 50 °C): The battery may only be used

within this temperature range.

– Storage (–20 ... 50 °C): The maximum storage temperature is

50 °C.

• Excessive depletion: The rechargeable battery’s safety circuit consumes minimal amounts of current. In order to prevent the battery from becoming fully depleted, the instrument should be connected to the mains for recharging at least once a year, and preferably at more frequent, regular intervals. In some cases it’s no longer possible to recharge a fully depleted battery, in which case it must be replaced by GMC-I Service GmbH.

2.2 Meanings of Danger Symbols

Warning concerning a point of danger (attention, observe documentation!)

Warning concerning dangerous voltage at the measurement input: U > 15 V AC or U > 25 V DC

2.3 Meanings of Acoustic Warning Signals

Hi-voltage warning: > 1000 V (intermittent acoustic signal)

Heavy current warning: > 1 A (continuous acoustic signal)

Excessive depletion should be avoided because the battery’s service life might otherwise be reduced, or the battery could fail. The battery pack is subject to selfdischarging at a rate of roughly 25% per year.

Battery pack transport: Observe the supplementary sheet with safety information for the Z270A or Z270G battery pack with rechargeable lithium-polymer battery (3-349-997-15 oder 3-447-030-15)!

The supplementary sheet with safety information for the Z270A/ Z270G battery pack is included with the manufacturer’s safety data sheet for the installed lithium-polymer battery.

5.2 Selecting Measuring Functions and Measuring Ranges

Note

5.2.1 Automatic Range Selection

The multimeter is equipped with auto-ranging for all measuring functions except for temperature measurement, as well as diode and continuity testing. Auto-ranging is active as soon as the instrument is switched on. The instrument automatically selects the measuring range which allows for highest possible resolution of the applied quantity. When the instrument is switched to frequency measurement, the previously selected voltage measuring range remains active.

AUTO-Range Function

The multimeter is switched automatically to the next higher range at (3099 d + 1 d  0310 d), and to the next lower range at (280 d – 1 d  2799 d).

In the case of high resolution (available depending upon measuring function), the multimeter is switched automatically to the next higher range at (30,999 d + 1 d  03100 d), and to the next lower range at (2800 d – 1 d  27,999 d).

5.2.2 Manual Range Selection

Auto-ranging can be deactivated and measuring ranges can be selected manually in accordance with the following table by pressing the Man / Auto button.

The desired measuring range can then be selected with the

 or  scroll key.

The instrument is automatically returned to automatic range selection when the Man / Auto key is pressed, the rotary switch is activated or the instrument is switched off and back on again.

5.2.3 Quick Measurements

Measurements performed using a suitable fixed measuring range are executed more quickly than those which utilize automatic range selection. Quick measurement is made possible with the following two functions:

• Manual measuring range selection, i.e. by selecting the measuring range with the best resolution (see Chapter 5.2.2)

•With the DATA function (see Chapter 5.5) In this way, the appro- priate measuring range is selected automatically after the first measurement and the second measurement is executed more quickly.

The selected measuring range remains active for the subsequent series of measurements with these two functions.

5.3 Zero Offset / Relative Measurements

Zero offset or a reference value for relative measurements can be stored to memory depending upon deviation from the zero point:

Deviation from zero point – with short-circuited measurement cables for V, , A – with open input for capacitance unit of measure F

0 ... 200 digits

Display

ZERO

The relevant reference or correction value is deducted individually for the respective measuring function as an offset from all future measurements and remains in memory until deleted, or until the multimeter is switched off.

Zero balancing and reference value adjustment can be used with auto-ranging, as well as for manual measuring range selection.

Note:

Zero offset is available for the following measuring functions and switch positions: RISO, Coil, DAR, PI, Hz, Duty AC, RPM AC, , Temp RTD (the RLeads function is offered here as an alternative), Temp TC, Continuity, Diode, R pressing the START key!) and R

/2L (ZERO is also activated after

/4L (the thermal compensation

function is offered here as an alternative).

Zero Balancing

➭ Plug the measuring cables into the instrument and connect

the free ends to each other, except for capacitance measurement and current measurement in which case the ends of the cables are not connected to each other.

➭ Briefly press the Zero softkey.

The value measured at the moment the key is pressed serves as a reference value. The instrument acknowledges zero balancing with an acoustic signal, and “Zero” and the reference value appear at the display. The Zero softkey is displayed with a green background.

➭ Zero balancing can be cleared by once again pressing the

Zero softkey.

As a result of TRMS measurement, the multimeter displays a residual value of 1 to 10/35 digits with short-circuited measurement cables as the zero point for V AC / I AC or V(AC+DC) / I (AC+DC) measurements (non-linearity of the TRMS converter). This has no influence on specified accuracy above 1% of the measuring range (or 3% in the mV, V(AC+DC) ranges).

Setting the Reference Value

➭ Plug the measuring cables into the instrument and measure a

reference value (max. 50% of measuring range).

➭ Briefly press the Zero softkey.

The instrument acknowledges storage of the reference value with an acoustic signal and the “ZERO” symbol appears at the display. The value measured at the moment the key is pressed serves as a reference value.

➭ The reference value can be cleared by once again pressing

the Zero softkey.

Notes Regarding Relative Measurement

• Relative measurement effects the digital display only. The analog display continues to read out the original measured value.

• In the case of relative measurement,  F or AC quantities may also appear as negative values.

GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH 13

5.4 Display (TFT)

5.4.1 Digital Display

Measured Value, Unit of Measure, Type of Current, Polarity

The measured value with decimal and plus or minus sign appears at the digital display. The selected unit of measure and current type are displayed as well. A minus sign appears to the left of the value during the measurement of zero-frequency quantities, if the plus pole of the measured quantity is applied to the “” input. The Display Zeros parameter can be used to determine whether leading zeros will appear or be suppressed at the measured value display (see chapter 4.4.5).

Exceeded Measuring Range

If the upper range limit of 1000 digits is exceeded “OL” (overload) appears at the display. Exceptions: “OL” appears at the display as of 1030.0 V in the case of voltage measurement in the 1000 V range, as of 5100 V for diode testing and as of 1.100 A in the 1 A range.

5.4.2 Analog Display

Measured Value, Polarity

The analog display demonstrates the dynamic performance of a moving-coil mechanism. This display is especially advantageous for observing measured value fluctuation, and for balancing procedures.

Display as a horizontal (green) bar which indicates the current measured value in real-time.

The analog scale displays a small negative range for the measurement of zero-frequency quantities with positive measured values, allowing for precise observation of measured value fluctuation around zero. If the measured value exceeds a certain negative range, polarity is reversed at the analog display.

The analog scale displays a small positive range for the measurement of zero-frequency quantities with negative measured value, allowing for precise observation of measured value fluctuation around zero in this case as well.

Scaling of the analog scale is automatic. This is very helpful for manual measuring range selection.

Exceeded Measuring Range

Exceeding the measuring range is indicated exclusively via the digital display.

Refresh Rate

The analog display is refreshed 40 times per second.

Measured Value Storage – Data Function (auto-hold/compare)

General

An individual measured value can be automatically “frozen” with the DATA function (auto-hold).

Applications

This function is useful, for example, when contacting the measuring points with the test probes requires your full attention. After the measuring signal has been applied and the measured value has settled in in accordance with the “condition” listed in the table below, the measured value is frozen at the digital display and an acoustic signal is generated. The test probes can now be removed from the measuring points, and the measured value can be read from the digital display. If the measuring signal falls below the value specified in the table, the function is reactivated for storage of the next value.

The Data function can be activated in all measuring functions. This is possible for the following functions after measurement has been started: RISO, R

/2L and RLO/4L.

Procedure

Apply the measured quantity to the instrument and set the measuring range with the Man / Auto softkey before activating the Data function with the Data / MinMax softkey. Man appears at the display with a green background. After activating the Data function with the corresponding softkey, Man is grayed out and cannot be changed until Data / MinMax is pressed again three times for deactivation. Data appears at the display with a green background. If automatic measuring range selection was active prior to activation of the Data function, switching to manual measuring range selection is also disabled as long as the MinMax function is active.

Data and the associated value appear between the digital and analog displays.

Reactivation results from falling short of specified measured value limits.

Two acoustic signals are generated the first time a measured value is saved as a reference value. For subsequent data hold, two acoustic signals are only generated if the currently frozen value deviates from the first saved value by less than 100 digits.

Data / Min-

Key

Max

Short

Key: MV = measured value, MR = measuring range

Example

The voltage measuring range is set manually to 30 V. The first measured value is 5 V and is stored to memory because it’s greater than 10% of the measuring range (= 3 V), and is thus reliably above the background noise level. As soon as the measured value drops to less than 10 % of the measuring range, i.e. amounts to less than 3 V which corresponds to removal of the test probes from the measuring point, the instrument is ready to store a new value.

Measured Value Comparison (DATA Compare)

If the currently frozen value deviates from the first saved value by less than 100 digits, the acoustic signal is generated twice. If deviation is greater than 100 digits, only a brief acoustic signal is generated.

The Data function has no effect on the analog display, at which the current measured value continues to appear. However, when the digital display is “frozen”, the decimal point is fixed as well (fixed measuring range, Man appears with a gray-green background). The selected measuring range cannot be manually changed as long as the Data function is active.

The Data function is deactivated by briefly pressing the Data / Min- Max softkey three times, if you switch to the MinMax function, when the measuring function is changed or when the instrument is switched off and back on again.

General

Minimum and maximum measured values applied to the measuring instrument’s input after the MinMax function has been activated can be “frozen” at the display.

Applications

The most important use of this function is the determination of minimum and maximum values during long-term measured value observation. The MinMax function can be activated in all measuring functions. This is possible for the following functions after measurement has been started: RISO, R

/2L and RLO/4L.

The MinMax function has no effect on the analog display, at which the current measured value continues to appear.

Procedure

Apply the measured quantity to the instrument and set the measuring range with the Man / Auto softkey before activating the Min- Max function with the Data / MinMax softkey. Man appears at the display with a green background. After activating the MinMax function with the corresponding softkey, Man is grayed out and cannot be changed until MinMax is pressed again for deactivation. MinMax appears at the display with a green background. If automatic measuring range selection was active prior to activation of the MinMax function, switching to manual measuring range selection is also disabled as long as the MinMax function is active.

Both Min and Max, as well as the associated values, are displayed between the digital and analog displays along with the time of their occurrence.

The MinMax function is deactivated by briefly pressing the Data / MinMax softkey, when the measuring function is changed or when the instrument is switched off and back on again.

As opposed to the Data function, the MinMax function can also be used for temperature measurement.

The MinMax function is reset by pressing the ESC key. After pressing Data / MinMax once again, the minimum and maxi-

mum values are displayed together with the average value (“Avg.”). The Min Avg Max display appears without timestamp.
