Portable Surge Protective Device Tester
FAQ & Help (3/3)
11. Can the tester measure the parameters of In, Imax, Up under 8/20μs waveform?
These parameters are not measured with this tester, but with an 8/20μs impact table and an oscilloscope. You can take
samples to our factory laboratory for testing.
12. Can the tester measure the parameters of Iimp and Up under 10/350μs waveform?
These two parameters are not measured with this tester, they are measured with a 10/350μs impact table and an
oscilloscope. You can take samples to our factory laboratory for testing.
13. What are the requirements of the multimeter used for calibration?
The upper limit of the voltage measured by the multimeter should meet 1000VDC, and the measured voltage accuracy is
0.1V
Measuring current accuracy 0.1μA
14. If the multimeter used for calibration is only 600V, how can I operate the calibration?
It is recommended that the upper limit of the voltage measured by the multimeter should meet 1000VDC. Reasons: The
intermediate value of break-over voltage for UC385 is 620V. If the highest measured voltage of the multimeter is 600V, the
varistor value selected for calibration should be within 600V.
15. How is the five-year warranty of the tester defined?
You must be the original owner of the tester and enjoy free warranty service for up to 5 years from the date of shipment.
The following list is not covered by the free warranty:
(1) Free accessories
(2) Conventional measurement services
(3) Regular calibration service
(4) Wear of product appearance in use
(5) Equipment failure caused by improper use
16. Why can't the tester test without a tested item?
When testing without a tested item, the tester will step up to the limit value because there is no load. If no-load test is
carried out for many times, the boost module may be damaged. The damage of the booster module belongs to equipment
failure caused by improper use and is not included in five-year warranty policy.
17. Is regular annual measurement necessary?
It depends on your own actual situation. For example, in many standards such as ISO9001, instruments and equipment
are required to have annual measurement certificates.
18. Is routine calibration necessary?
If the measurement result is acceptable, then there is no need to calibrate the tester.
