PM5A2 
 

 

4. Connecting the PM5A2 

 

ATTENTION:

 For safe operation, follow the procedures detailed below with the device Powered-Off. 

 

Check  if  there  is  no  difference  of  potential  voltages  between  the  points  where  the  PM5A2shall  be  connected  to. 
Also, check the same between those points and the ground.  
 

At  the  time  of  the  connection  and  power-on,  the  equipment  automatically  enters  in  the 
voltmeter mode and displays the circuit voltage. 

 

The circuit to be tested must be de-energized to avoid interferences in the measurement. The equipment will block 
the start of measurement if it detects a voltage greater than 60 V in the circuit. 
 

 

 
 

Connect the red cable security terminal to the equipment 

(-V) output terminal

, the BNC terminal of the black cable 

to the 

zero reference (+R)

 

terminal and the “alligator” terminals to the element to be measured as indicated in the 

figure. 

 
 

 

 

The test leads in the picture are merely illustrative.
