1.4  Indications and meaning of symbols 

Terminal voltage monitor 
 

The terminal voltage monitor displays on-line the voltages on the test terminals and information about 
active test terminals in the AC installation measuring mode. 
 

 

The voltage applied is displayed by means of the testing terminal symbol. All three 
testing terminals L, N and PE are used for the selected measurement. 

 

The voltage applied is displayed by means of the testing terminal symbol. The 
testing terminals L and N are used for the selected measurement. 

 

The testing terminals L and PE are active testing terminals. The testing terminal N 
should be connected as well in order to have a correct input voltage. 

 

The polarity of the testing voltage applied (R LOW, R ISO) is displayed at the 
output terminals L and N. 

 
 

Battery indication 
 

 

Battery capacity indication. 

 

Low battery. 
The storage battery charge condition is too low to ensure correct measuring results. 
Recharge the storage batteries or replace the batteries. 

 

Charging in progress (if power supply adapter is connected). 

 
 

Messages 
 

 

Measurement is running, consider displayed warnings. 

 

Conditions on the input terminals allow starting the measurement; consider other 
displayed warnings and messages. 

 

Conditions on the input terminals do not allow starting the measurement, consider 
displayed warnings and messages. 

 

RCD tripped-out during the measurement (in RCD functions). 

 

Portable RCD selected (PRCD). 

 

Instrument is overheated. The measurement is prohibited until the temperature 
decreases under the allowed limit. 

 

Result(s) can be stored.  

 

High electrical noise was detected during measurement. Results may be impaired. 

 

L and N are changed. 

 

Warning!

 High voltage is applied to the test terminals.  

 

Warning!

 Dangerous voltage on the PE terminal! Stop the activity immediately and 

eliminate the fault / connection problem before proceeding with any activity!
