MI 3155 EurotestXD General description 1 General description Warnings and notes Read before use 1.1.1 Safety warnings In order to reach high level of operator safety while carrying out various measurements using the EurotestXD instrument, as well as to keep the test equipment undamaged, it is necessary to consider the following general warnings: ...
MI 3155 EurotestXD General description The instrument comes supplied with rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. The battery pack should only be replaced with the same type as defined on the battery compartment label or as described in this manual! Hazardous voltages exist inside the instrument.
MI 3155 EurotestXD General description 1.1.5 Notes related to measurement functions Insulation resistance (R iso, R iso – all) The measuring range is decreased if using Tip commander A 1401. If a voltage of higher than 30 V (AC or DC) is detected between test terminals, the measurement will not be performed.
Page 12
MI 3155 EurotestXD General description Z loop, Zloop 4W, Zs rcd The specified accuracy of tested parameters is valid only if the mains voltage is stable during the measurement. The measurement accuracy and immunity against noise are higher if I test parameter in Zsrcd is set to ‘Standard’.
