Safety Precautions
Note
Overvoltage Influence
If the reversible fuse (PTC thermistor) responds to an overvoltage
or an extraneous voltage, measurement may not be resumed
immediately. A cool-down period of approximately 2 minutes must
be observed.
CAT I / II
Attention!
Accumulation of Moisture
An accumulation of moisture on the tester, on the measurement
cables or on the DUT must be avoided, because leakage currents
may be caused by high-voltages at exposed surfaces. Even isolated components may carry high-voltages.
Applications
Initial Start-Up
For initial start-up of the METRISO 5000 AK with crank generator or of the
METRISO 5000 A with accessory crank generator module see Chapter 8
and Chapter 3.4. For initial start-up of the METRISO 5000 A with battery
operation mode see Chapter 3.1 to Chapter 3.4.
3.1
Push the battery clip back over the contacts making certain that correct poling is assured.
Return the battery compartment to the housing in the correct direction (labeling must be legible) and fasten with screws.
Battery Installation
Attention!
Before opening the battery compartment (green side panel) be
absolutely certain that the function selector switch is set to the
V position, and that the range selector switch is set to the OFF/
V position, and that the device is completely disconnected from
all external power circuits.
Note
If the needle only moves into the minimal supply voltage range,
several measurements can still be performed for test voltages of
less than 1000 V, because the battery test is conducted with the
same load as is used for a test voltage of 1000 V.
Note
Be certain that the grip on the function selector switch points
exactly to V or . No intermediate selector switch positions
have been defined, and inaccurate switch positioning leads to
meaningless measurement results. This is especially important
during discharging of capacitive devices under test, because voltages are not displayed in intermediate selector switch positions.
Direct voltages and sinusoidal alternating voltages with frequencies ranging from 15 to 500 Hz can be measured with the tester. Deflection of the
needle at the instrument is always positive for direct voltage measurements, regardless of polarity at the connections. Alternating voltage is
indicated as an effective value.
Voltage measurements are used to test for the absence of voltage prior to
insulation resistance measurements, as well as for the automatic discharge of capacitive devices under test. The voltage drop can be
observed at the display.
Note
Voltage measurement can always be performed with the function
selector switch in the V position, regardless of the position of the
range selector switch (even without batteries).
Note
Voltages of greater than 2000 V may not be applied. Input resistance for the voltage measuring range is equal to 5 M
Attention!
Contact Hazard
Do not touch the conductive ends of the test prods when the instrument has been activated for the measurement of insulation
resistance.
This may cause current to flow over your body, which, although it
does not reach life endangering levels, causes a clearly discernible shock.
When measurements are made at capacitive devices under test,
e.g. cables, the DUT may be charged with voltages of up to approximately 5000 V, depending upon selected nominal voltage.
Contact with the device under test after measurement is, in this
event, life endangering!
Safe Discharge
For this reason the DUT must be discharged in a controlled fashion by switching to V and contacting the DUT with the test prods
until the measurement display indicates 0 V. Do not reverse the
poles of the DUT during discharging, because internal overvoltage protection would otherwise be triggered. If the capacity to be
discharged is greater than 3 F, the poles may absolutely not be
reversed, because the device might otherwise be damaged.
Note
Overvoltage Influence
If the reversible fuse (PTC thermistor) responds to an overvoltage
or an extraneous voltage, measurement may not be resumed
immediately. A cool-down period of approximately 2 minutes must
be observed.

5.3 Measurements with the Guard Cable (with Accessory Guard 5000A)
The measurement of very high impedance resistances presupposes
extremely small measurement currents, and can be rendered problematic
by influences such as electromagnetic fields, moisture or surface currents.
For this reason, the measurement set-up must be implemented in an
accurate fashion.
For measurements within a range of 100 G (10 G) ... 1 T a guard
cable must be used in order to prevent the distortion of measurement
results caused by surface currents. The guard rings prevent current at the
surface of the insulation material from flowing from the +measurement
cable to the measurement cable, instead of through the insulation material itself.

Maintenance
Attention!
Before replacing batteries completely disconnect the device from
all external power circuits.
For purposes of transport and maintenance we recommend that
the range selector switch be set to the OFF/V position, in order to
prevent unintentional activation of the tester.
7.1 Batteries
The condition of the batteries should be checked from time to time. Discharged or corroded batteries must be removed from the battery compartment. If leakage occurs at the batteries, battery electrolyte must be
completed removed and the batteries replaced. The batteries must be
replaced when:
the needle gauge no longer climbs into the scale which contains the
battery symbol when the range selector switch is set to the battery
test position.
the indicator LED for the selected test voltage does not light up green.
Batteries are to be replaced as described in Chapter 3.1, page 5. Always
replace batteries as a complete set!
Note
Prior to lengthy periods of rest (e. g. holiday), we recommend
removing the (rechargeable) batteries. This helps to prevent
excessive depletion or leakage of batteries, which, under unfavourable circumstances, may cause damage to the instrument.
!
7.2 Housing
No special maintenance is required for the housing. Keep outer surfaces
clean and dry. Use a slightly dampened cloth for cleaning. Avoid the use
of cleansers, abrasives or solvents.
10
Attention!
Even if only very slight damage is apparent at the measuring cables, we recommend that you send the tester, together with the
cables, to the GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH Repair and Replacement Parts Service Department.
Verification of specifications or adjustment services are not part of the calibration. For products
from our factory, however, any necessary adjustment is frequently performed and the observance of the relevant specification is confirmed.
Attention!
Turn the crank only in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The crank generator is difficult to turn in the other direction, and
the protective devices at the generator and in the instrument may
be destroyed after several rotations! Brief, inadvertent rotation in
the wrong direction causes no damage.
Fold the crank handle to its closed position before transporting the instrument.
8.3 Measuring Insulation Resistance in the Crank Generator Operating Mode
Establish contact with the DUT first, preferably with the included alligator clips. If this is not possible, and if contact must be established
with the test probes, you will need a second person for assistance.
Select the test voltage with the range
selector switch.
Set the function selector switch to .
11
Note
If the signal LED is not lit, or if it flickers, test voltage is too low, i.e. too
little power is being delivered by the crank generator.
Measurement values are only valid if the signal LED is continuously lit.
