RMO500 Getting Started
6 Getting Started
6.1 Connecting a Test Object to RMO500
Before you connect a test object to RMO500, make sure that:
• the test object is disconnected or separated from its circuit in accordance with
the national safety regulations,
• the test object is properly grounded to protective earth (PE),
• RMO500 itself is properly grounded. To do so, connect the grounding screw on
the back of RMO500’s to PE using a grounding cable.
6.2 Setting the Measurement Parameters
Single Test
Turn on RMO500 with the power switch on the back of the test set. The display
shows the
Sing
menu.
In the
Sing
menu, define a test current for the test. To do so set the value of your
choice by means of the
UP/DOWN
buttons.
The memory position (here
m:30
) denotes a position the test data is stored during
the test. It can be recalled later by selecting that position’s number.Once a test is
finished, the memory position is automatically switched over to the next position.

With RMO500 turned off,
connect RMO500 to the test
object (R
X
) in such a way that
the measuring cables from
the "Voltage Sense" sockets
are attached as close as
possible to R
X
, and in
between the current feeding
cables. That way, resistance
of both cables and clamps is
almost completely excluded
from the resistance
measurement.
