6.4.2. Measurement procedure and results of "P-N" mode
1. Select
P-N
mode by means of the
F1
key.
2. Connect the red, green and Black connectors of the three-terminal mains cable or of
the split cables to the corresponding input terminals of the instrument

3. Connect the mains plug into a 230V 50Hz socket or the crocodiles to the
conductors of the three-phase system (see previous pictures).
4. If possible disconnect all low impedance loads downstream the point at which
the measurement is to be taken; as such impedances would be in parallel with
the line impedance to be measured.
5. Press the
START
key. The instrument starts the test.
CAUTION
The measurement in a 230V System, make a test current of 6A approx.
This may cause the tripping of magnetic protection switch with nominal
value lower than 10A. If necessary perform the test upstream of the switch.
Never disconnect the test leads when the message
"MEASURING"
is
displayed.
At the end of the test
the instrument emits a
double sound signal
indicating that the test
is correctly
terminated
and
displays the values
alongside.
