Applications

In order to be able to detect faults in electri-

cal systems which are caused by defective

insulation, insulation resistance must be

measured between each active conductor

and the protective earth conductor. The

AutoISO-5000 test adapter makes it possi-

ble to run an automated test sequence for

installation measurements at multi-core

cables (3, 4 or 5) with the METRISO PRIME

10 test instrument. Use for other purposes is

impermissible.

Safety Precautions

The test adapter has been manufactured

and tested in accordance with the following

safety regulations: IEC/EN 61010-1/

VDE 0411-1.

Safety of the operator, as well as that of the

test adapter, is only assured when it’s used

for its intended purpose.

Read the operating instructions carefully and

completely before placing your test adapter into

service. Follow all instructions contained therein.

Make sure that the operating instructions are

available to all users of the device. Read the oper-

ating instructions for the METRISO PRIME 10 test

instrument too.

Tests may only be performed by a qualified elec-

trician or under the supervision and direction of a

qualified electrician. Wear a suitable and appro-

priate personal protective equipment (PPE) when-

ever working with the device.

Opening the Device / Repairs

The device may only be opened by authorized,

trained personnel in order to ensure flawless

operation and to assure that the guarantee

isn’t rendered null and void.

Even original replacement parts may only be

installed by authorized, trained personnel.

If it can be ascertained that the device has

been opened by unauthorized personnel, no

guarantee claims can be honored by the

manufacturer with regard to personal safety,

measuring accuracy, compliance with appli-

cable safety measures or any consequential

damages. If a guarantee seal is included and

it has been damaged or removed, all guar-

antee claims are rendered null and void.

Observe the following safety precautions:

• Make sure that the connector cables are

not damaged, e.g. damaged insulation,

interruption etc.

Attention!

Insulation resistance can only be

measured at voltage-free objects.

• Do not touch the tips of the test probes.

• Do not use the test adapter in electrical

systems or for devices in potentially

explosive atmospheres, or in environ-

ments where the risk of fire exists.

The test adapter may not be used:

• If external damage is apparent, for exam-

ple if parts which conduct dangerous

touch voltage are freely accessible

• With damaged connector and/or mea-

surement cables, e.g. interrupted insula-

tion or kinked cable

• If it no longer functions flawlessly

• If it has been stored under unfavorable

conditions for a lengthy period of time

(e.g. extremely high atmospheric humid-

ity) – after moving the adapter from a

cold to a warm environment with high

atmospheric humidity, do not start mea-

surement until the device has warmed

up to the new ambient temperature

(approx. 30 minutes).

In such cases, the test adapter must be

removed from operation and secured

against unintentional use.
