1 PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
The instrument has been designed in compliance with IEC/EN61010-1 guidelines relevant
to electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the
instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all
notes preceded by symbol with the utmost attention. Before and after carrying out
measurements, carefully observe the following instructions:
Do not carry out any measurement in humid environments.
Do not carry out any measurements in case gas, explosive materials or flammables are
present, or in dusty environments.
Avoid any contact with the circuit under test if no measurement is in progress.
Avoid any contact with exposed metal parts, with unused measuring probes, circuits,
etc.
Do not carry out any measurement in case you find anomalies in the instrument such
as deformation, breaks, substance leaks, absence of display on the screen, etc.
Pay special attention when measuring voltages higher than 25V AC, since a risk of
electrical shock exists.
In this manual, and on the instrument, the following symbols are used:
Warning: observe the instructions given in this manual; improper use could
damage the instrument or its components.
High Voltage danger: electrical shock risk
AC voltage or current

3 PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1 INITIAL CHECKS
Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical
point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the instrument is delivered
undamaged. However, we recommend thoroughly checking the instrument in order to
detect possible damage suffered during transport. In case anomalies are found,
immediately contact the forwarding agent. We also recommend to check whehter the
packaging contains all components indicated in § 8.1.1. In case of discrepancy, please
contact the Dealer. In case the instrument should be returned, please follow the
instructions given in § 9.
3.2 INSTRUMENT POWER SUPPLY
The instrument is supplied directly by the main 230V with the integrated Schuko plug
3.3 CALIBRATION
The instrument’s technical specifications are described in this manual. Thanks to its simple
structure, no periodical calibration procedure is required.
3.4 STORAGE
In order to guarantee precise measurement, after a long storage time, wait for the
instrument to come back to normal condition (see § 8).

5 INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONS
LINESPLITTER is a useful accessory capable of performing electrical splitting between the
active conductors of phase, neutral and PE for single-phase loads supplied by 2 or 3 poles
cords with absorbed current up to 16A. It aims at performing an immediate current
measurement directly on the cords using clamps or multimeters which would not be
possible without it (null result).
LINESPLITTER has 2 rings (Ax1 and Ax10 - see Fig.1 parts 6 and 7) so as to respectively
perform the measurement of the line current and the measurement of the same current
multiplied by a factor 10 (useful with current clamps having poor sensitivity or too high
ranges).
LINESPLITTER also includes other two rings (mA PE and mA L-N - see Fig 1 parts 2 and
5) for easy leakage current measurement respectively direct to ground (on the PE
conductor) and indirect/differential (on L-N conductors).
Finally LINESPLITTER also allows to perform AC L-N, L-PE and N-PE voltage
measurements (see Fig. 1 part 4) using digital multimeters.

6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 LINE CURRENT MEASUREMENT
1. Connect LINESPLITTER to 230V AC main socket through Schuko plug.
2. Connect the main cable of the load to the instrument’s Schuko plug.
3. Put the clamp around the Ax1 or Ax10 rings and switch on the load.
4. Read the value of line current in the Ax1 ring or divide by 10 the value of current read
in the Ax10 ring (see Fig. 2)

6.2 LEAKAGE CURRENT MEASUREMENT
1. Connect LINESPLITTER to 230V AC main socket through Schuko plug
2. Connect the main cable of the load to the instrument’s Schuko plug.
3. Put a leakage clamp around the mA PE or mA L-N rings and switch on the load.
4. Read the direct value of leakage current (PE conductor) in the mA PE ring or the
indirect/differential value of leakage current (L-N conductors) in the mA L-N ring (see
Fig. 3).

6.3 VOLTAGE AND POWER MEASUREMENT
1. Connect LINESPLITTER to 230V AC main socket through Schuko plug
2. Connect the main cable of the load to the instrument’s Schuko plug.
3. Put a power clamp (e.g. HT9020 or HT9022 models) around the Ax1 ring and the
clamp’s test leads in the Vinputs of the instrument and switch on the load
4. Read the correspondent values of current, voltage and absorbed power of the load
(see Fig. 4).

7 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Only expert and trained technicians should perform maintenance
operations. Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect all
cables from the input terminals.
Do not use the instrument in environments with high humidity levels or
high temperatures
7.1 CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
Use a soft and dry cloth to clean the instrument. Never use wet cloths, solvents, water, etc.
