2 Safety and operational considerations
2.1 Warnings and notes
In order to maintain the highest level of operator safety while carrying out various tests
and measurements, Metrel recommends keeping your Eurotest instruments in good
condition and undamaged. When using the instrument, consider the following general
warnings:
General warnings related to safety:
The symbol on the instrument means »Read the Instruction manual
with special care for safe operation«. The symbol requires an action!
If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this user manual,
the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired!
Read this user manual carefully, otherwise the use of the instrument may
be dangerous for the operator, the instrument or for the equipment under
test!
Do not use the instrument or any of the accessories if any damage is
noticed!
Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric
shock while dealing with hazardous voltages!
If the 315 mA fuse blows follow the instructions in this manual in order to
replace it! Use only fuses that are specified!
Do not disassemble or repair the high breaking current fuse block! In case
it fails the entire block must be replaced with a new original one!
Do not use the instrument in AC supply systems with voltages higher than
550 Va.c.
Service, repairs or adjustment of instruments and accessories is only
allowed to be carried out by a competent authorized personnel!
Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your
distributor!
Consider that protection category of some accessories is lower than of the
instrument. Test tips and Tip commander have removable caps. If they are
removed the protection falls to CAT II. Check markings on accessories!
(cap off, 18 mm tip)…CAT II up to 1000 V
(cap on, 4 mm tip)… CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V / CAT IV 300 V
The instrument comes supplied with rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells. The
cells should only be replaced with the same type as defined on the battery
compartment label or as described in this manual. Do not use standard
alkaline battery cells while the power supply adapter is connected,
otherwise they may explode!

MI 3108 EurotestPV Safety and operational considerations
8
Hazardous voltages exist inside the instrument. Disconnect all test leads,
remove the power supply cable and switch off the instrument before
removing battery compartment cover.
Do not connect any voltage source on C1 and P/C2 inputs. They are
intended only for connection of current clamps and sensors. Maximal input
voltage is 3 V!
All normal safety precautions must be taken in order to avoid risk of
electric shock while working on electrical installations!
If the instrument is not in SOLAR operating mode the instrument displays a
warning if an external DC voltage of higher than 50 V is applied to the
instrument. Measurements are blocked.
Warnings related to safety of measurement functions:
All PV functions
Use only dedicated accessories for testing on PV electrical installations.
Accessories for PV installations have yellow marked connectors.
Appropriate warnings are displayed.
PV Safety probe A1384 has inbuilt protective circuit that safely disconnects the
instrument from the PV installation in case of a failure in the instrument.
PV test lead A1385 has integrated fuses that safely disconnects instrument from
the PV installation in case of a failure in the instrument.
Do not use the instrument in PV systems with voltages higher than 1000 V
d.c. and/ or currents higher than 15 A d.c. ! Otherwise the instrument can
be damaged.
PV sources can produce very high voltages and currents. Only skilled and
trained personnel should perform measurements on photovoltaic systems.
Local regulations should be considered.
Safety precautions for working on the roof should be considered.
In case of a fault in the measuring system (wires, devices, connections,
measuring instrument, accessories), presence of flammable gases, very
high moisture or heavy dust an electrical arc can occur that will not
extinguish by itself. Arcs can lead to fire and can cause heavy damage.
Users must be skilled to disconnect the PV system safely in this case.
Insulation resistance, Insulation resistance of PV systems
Insulation resistance measurement should only be performed on de-energized
objects!
Do not touch the test object during the measurement or before it is fully
discharged! Risk of electric shock!

MI 3108 EurotestPV Safety and operational considerations
9
When an insulation resistance measurement has been performed on a capacitive
object, automatic discharge may not be done immediately! The warning message
and the actual voltage are displayed during discharge until voltage drops
below 10 V.
Continuity functions
Continuity measurements should only be performed on de-energized objects!
Parallel loops may influence on test results.
Testing PE terminal
If phase voltage is detected on the tested PE terminal, stop all measurements
immediately and ensure the cause of the fault is eliminated before proceeding
with any activity!
Notes related to measurement functions:
General
The indicator means that the selected measurement cannot be performed
because of irregular conditions on input terminals.
Insulation resistance, continuity functions and earth resistance measurements
can only be performed on de-energized objects.
PASS / FAIL indication is enabled when limit is set. Apply appropriate limit value
for evaluation of measurement results.
In the case that only two of the three wires are connected to the electrical
installation under test, only voltage indication between these two wires is valid.
Insulation resistance, Insulation resistance of PV systems
Insulation resistance:
If a voltage of higher than 30 V (AC or DC) is detected between test terminals,
the insulation resistance measurement will not be performed.
Insulation resistance of PV systems:
Different pre-tests are carried out. If conditions are proper and safe the
measurement will be be continued.
Otherwise or or message is displayed.
The instrument automatically discharge tested object after finished
measurement.
A double click of TEST key starts a continuous measurement.
Continuity functions
If a voltage of higher than 10 V (AC or DC) is detected between test terminals,
the continuity resistance test will not be performed.
Compensate test lead resistance before performing a continuity measurement,
where necessary.
RCD functions

MI 3108 EurotestPV Safety and operational considerations
10
Parameters set in one function are also kept for other RCD functions!
The measurement of contact voltage does not normally trip an RCD. However,
the trip limit of the RCD may be exceeded as a result of leakage current flowing
to the PE protective conductor or a capacitive connection between L and PE
conductors.
The RCD trip-lock sub-function (function selector switch in LOOP position) takes
longer to complete but offers much better accuracy of fault loop resistance (in
comparison to the RLsub-result in Contact voltage function).
RCD trip-out time and RCD trip-out current measurements will only be performed
if the contact voltage in the pre-test at nominal differential current is lower than
the set contact voltage limit!
The autotest sequence (RCD AUTO function) stops when trip-out time is out of
allowable time period.
Z-LOOP
The low limit prospective short-circuit current value depends on fuse type, fuse
current rating, fuse trip-out time and impedance scaling factor.
The specified accuracy of tested parameters is valid only if the mains voltage is
stable during the measurement.
Fault loop impedance measurements will trip an RCD.
The measurement of fault loop impedance using trip-lock function does not
normally trip an RCD. However, the trip limit may be exceeded if a leakage
current flows to the PE protective conductor or if there is a capacitive connection
between L and PE conductors.
Z-LINE / Voltage drop
In case of measurement of ZLine-Line with the instrument test leads PE and N
connected together the instrument will display a warning of dangerous PE
voltage. The measurement will be performed anyway.
Specified accuracy of tested parameters is valid only if mains voltage is stable
during the measurement.
L and N test terminals are reversed automatically according to detected terminal
voltage (except in UK version).
Power / Harmonics / Energy / Current
Before starting any Power measurement the current clamp settings in Settings
menu should be checked. Select appropriate current clamp model and
measuring range that are best fitted to the expected current values.
Consider polarity of current clamp (arrow on test clamp should be oriented
toward connected load), otherwise result will be negative!
PV measurements
A 1384 PV Safety Probe must be used for PANEL, UOC/ISC, I/V, INVERTER
(AC, DC) and ISO PV measurements.
A 1385 PV test lead must be used for INVERTER AC/DC measurements.
Before starting a PV measurement the settings of PV module type and PV test
parameters should be checked.
Environmental parameters (Irr, T) can be measured or entered manually.

MI 3108 EurotestPV Safety and operational considerations
11
Environmental conditions (irradiance, temperature) must be stable during the
measurements.
For calculation of STC results measured Uoc / Isc values, irradiance,
temperature (ambient or cell), and PV module parameters must be known. Refer
to Appendix E for more information.
Always perform zeroing of DC current clamps before test.

MI 3108 EurotestPV Safety and operational considerations

2.2 Battery and charging
The instrument uses six AA size alkaline or rechargeable Ni-MH battery cells. Nominal
operating time is declared for cells with nominal capacity of 2100 mAh. Battery condition
is always displayed in the lower right display part. In case the battery is too weak the
instrument indicates this as shown in figure 2.1. This indication appears for a few
seconds and then the instrument turns itself off.
Figure 2.1: Discharged battery indication
The battery is charged whenever the power supply adapter is connected to the
instrument. The power supply socket polarity is shown in figure 2.2. Internal circuit
controls charging and assures maximum battery lifetime.

Figure 2.3: Charging indication
Warnings related to safety:
When connected to an installation, the instruments battery compartment can
contain hazardous voltage inside! When replacing battery cells or before
opening the battery/fuse compartment cover, disconnect any measuring
accessory connected to the instrument and turn off the instrument,
Ensure that the battery cells are inserted correctly otherwise the instrument will
not operate and the batteries could be discharged.
Do not recharge alkaline battery cells!
Use only power supply adapter delivered from the manufacturer or distributor of
the test equipment !
Notes:
The charger in the instrument is a pack cell charger. This means that the battery
cells are connected in series during the charging. The battery cells have to be
equivalent (same charge condition, same type and age).

MI 3108 EurotestPV Safety and operational considerations
13
If the instrument is not to be used for a long period of time, remove all batteries
from the battery compartment.
Alkaline or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (size AA) can be used. Metrel
recommends only using rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2100mAh or
above.
Unpredictable chemical processes can occur during the charging of battery cells
that have been left unused for a longer period (more than 6 months). In this case
Metrel recommends to repeat the charge / discharge cycle at least 2-4 times.
If no improvement is achieved after several charge / discharge cycles, then each
battery cell should be checked (by comparing battery voltages, testing them in a
cell charger, etc). It is very likely that only some of the battery cells are
deteriorated. One different battery cell can cause an improper behavior of the
entire battery pack!
The effects described above should not be confused with the normal decrease of
battery capacity over time. Battery also loses some capacity when it is repeatedly
charged / discharged. This information is provided in the technical specification
from battery manufacturer.
