9. Carrying out Measurements
General Information to carry out measurements:
•
Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical systems are only to be carried out in
compliance with the instructions of a responsible electronics technician, and never alone.
•
Test leads and test probes may only be touched at handle surfaces provided.
•
Absolutely avoid the direct contact of the test probes. Prior to switching to a new measurement
range or a new type of measurement, remove all connections from DUT.
•
Measurements have to be carried out by respecting the standards.
a) Testing a mains power outlet
• Press the red pushbutton (15) to switch on the GT-6000 v2.
• To switch the device on or off, press and hold the button for approx. 1 second. The
device will turn on or off with a beep.
To avoid electrical shock, the valid safety measures and VDE directives strictly must be met
concerning excessive contact voltage when working with voltages exceeding 120 V (60 V) DC or
50 V (25 V) rms AC. The values in brackets are valid for limited areas (such as e.g. medicine,
agriculture).
• Connect the mains cable (IEC 60320 C19) to the mains inlet
socket (11) and to the power outlet.
• The voltage measurement will start automatically.
• Each time when voltage (mains) is detected, L-N, L-PE and N-PE
are displayed for approx. 3 seconds.
• If the voltage potentials are within the following limit values, a tick
symbol appears next to the symbols “LN”, “LE” and “NE”:
LN
195 V - 253V
LE
