1 Safety

The MIC-30 meter is designed to determine the safety of electrical wiring by measuring insulation

resistance to ensure adequate protection against electric shock. For correct operation and accurate results observe the following recommendations:

Before operating the meter acquaint yourself thoroughly with this manual. Observe the safety cautions, warnings, and instructions.

Any application that differs from those specified in this manual may result in a damage to the device and constitute a source of danger to the user.

The MIC-30 meter must be operated only by appropriately qualified personnel with relevant certification authorizing them to work on electrical systems. Operating the meter by unauthorised personnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a source of danger to the user.

During measurements of insulation resistance dangerous voltages up to 1 kV occur at the ends of test leads.

Before any measurement of insulation resistance ensure the tested object is not energized and is disconnected from the mains power supply or an AC power source.

Each test concludes with an automatic discharge of voltage on the object. Do not disconnect the test leads from the tested object before the measurement is completed otherwise high voltage remaining on the object due to it’s capacitance will not be discharged creating a risk of electric shock.

Using this manual does not exclude the need to comply with occupational health and safety regulations and with other relevant fire regulations required during the performance of a particular type of work. Before starting work with the meter in special environments, e.g. potential of fire-risk or explosive environment, consult with the person responsible for health and safety.

Do not operate:

A meter which is damaged, completely or partially malfunctioning

A meter with damaged test leads insulation

A meter stored for an excessive period of time in adverse environmental conditions (e.g. excessive humidity). If the meter is transferred from a cool to a warm environment with a high level of relative humidity, wait 30 minutes until the meter is warmed up to the ambient temperature.

A BATT message indicates insufficient voltage of power supply. The batteries must be charged or replaced.

An ErrX message, where X is a number from 1 to 9, indicates incorrect operation of the meter. If after restarting the meter this error message still appears, it indicates that the meter is damaged.

Before measurement choose a correct measurement function and make sure that test leads are connected securely to their respective measuring terminals.

Do not operate a meter with an open or incorrectly closed battery compartment, or power it from other sources not specified in this manual.

Meter inputs are electronically protected against overloads, such as caused by connecting the meter to a live circuit, up to 550V for measurements, and up to 600V for the voltmeter.

Repairs may only be performed by Sonel or an authorized Sonel service center.

Note:

When installing driver software in Windows may result in an "Installation failed" message. Windows 8 and Windows 10 by default block drivers without a digital signature. Disable the driver signature enforcement in Windows.

Note:

Due to continuous development the actual appearance of the display, and some of the functions may slightly differ from the information presented in this operating manual.

3 Measurements

3.1 Measurement of insulation resistance

WARNING:

Measured object must be de-energized. Do not make measurements on live circuits.

Important Note:

Make sure that the test leads and probes (crocodile clips) do not touch each other during measurements, especially when measuring high resistance. Such contact may cause the flow of surface currents resulting in additional errors in measurement results.

3.1.1 Double-lead measurement (with a shielded lead)

Set the rotary function switch at one of RISO positions. Each position is marked with the measuring voltage.

Press the SET/SEL button to select the three times for calculating the absorption coefficients - t1, t2, t3.

Use the and buttons to change the settings of t1, t2, t3.

Use the and buttons to change the values of t1, t2, t3.


Press ENTER to save the settings, confirmed by a beep. Or press ESC to exit without saving the changes. The meter is then in the voltage measurement mode. The position 50...1000V allows selection of a custom measurement voltage in 10V steps. Press the SET/SEL button to allow the selection

of measurement voltage. Use the and buttons to change the value measurement

voltage. Then use the and buttons to change the settings of t1, t2, t3. Press ENTER to save the settings, confirmed by a beep. Or press ESC to exit without saving the changes. The meter is then in the voltage measurement mode.

Connect the test leads according to this diagram.

The end of the shielded cable has two banana plugs. These two banana plugs may be connected only to the meter. Do not connect either of the banana plugs to the tested object or to the network. Refer to the diagram above.


The meter is ready for measurement.

Press and hold START button. The measurement is performed continuously until the START button is released or the pre-set time is reached.

Instead of holding the START button down continuously, the function can be latched by first pressing the ENTER and then pressing START and releasing both buttons. The

symbol will be displayed. To cancel the measurement press ESC or START.

View of the screen during measurement.

Pressing the SET/SEL button and START simultaneously displays the leakage current IL instead of measurement voltage VISO.

View the results after the measurement is completed.


Use the and button to view individual results in the following order: (RISO + VISO)→(C + IL)→(Rt1 + It1)→(Rt2 + It2)→ (Rt3 + It3)→(Ab1(DAR) + VISO)→(Ab2(PI) + VISO)→ (RISO + VISO), where C – is the capacitance of the tested object.

Notes:

Danger! During measurements of insulation resistance a high voltage of up to 1 kV occurs at the ends of test leads when connected to the MIC-30 meter.

Danger! Do not disconnect test leads before the measurement process is entirely completed. The object under test can be charged up to 1000V, and for safety, the object is automatically discharged after the measurements are calculated. If the leads are disconnected prematurely the MIC-30 cannot safely discharge residual voltage on the object under test when testing completes. Failure to obey this instruction will lead to the possibility of a high voltage remaining on the object under test that can create an electric shock hazard.

Disabling t2 will also disable t3.

Measurement times are started when VISO voltage is stabilized.

The LIMIT I! message indicates the meter is working with current limiting (e.g. when charging an object).

If current limiting lasts for 20 seconds the measurement is cancelled.

Long beeps are issued at the end of the time intervals t1, t2, t3.

If any of the measured values of partial resistance are out of range the value of the absorption coefficient is not displayed; the display shows dashes.

During the measurement the orange HV LED is illuminated.

After measurement completes, the charge on the tested object is discharged by shorting the test

terminals through a 100k resistance.

The capacitance of the object under test is measured at the end of the measurement process during the object discharge.

If during the measurement an external voltage is present the measurement is stopped after 20

seconds. is displayed, a two-tone beep sounds, and the HV LED illuminates in red.

7 Power supply of the meter

7.1 Monitoring of the power supply voltage

The level of charge of the batteries is continuously indicated by the battery symbol in the upper right corner of the display:

Batteries charged

Batteries almost discharged.

Batteries are fully discharged. The meter switches off automatically.

7.2 Replacing battery/rechargeable batteries

MIC-30 Meters are powered by four AA alkaline LR6 batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries.

NOTE! Before removing the battery cover disconnect the test leads.

To replace the batteries: 1. Disconnect the leads from the measuring circuit and turn off the meter 2. Unscrew the 4 screws at the bottom of the housing and remove the cover 3. Replace all batteries with new ones. 4. Replace and fasten the cover.

Note:

Rechargeable batteries must be recharged in an external charger.

NOTE!

Do not use the meter when the battery compartment is removed or open. Do not power the meter from any source other than those described in this manual.


7.3 General principles regarding using NiMH rechargeable batteries

If the meter is not used for a prolonged periods, it is recommended to remove the batteries and store them separately.

Store the rechargeable batteries in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place and protect them from

direct sunlight. The temperature of the environment should not exceed 30C / 86F. If the rechargeable batteries are stored for a long periods at high temperature their lifetime will be reduced.

NiMH batteries withstand normally 500-1000 charging cycles. NiMH batteries reach their maximum capacity after 2-3 charge/discharge cycles. The most important factor which affects the lifetime of rechargeable batteries is the level of discharge. The deeper the discharge, the shorter the lifetime.

NiMH batteries may be charged at any point with no serious consequences. However, it is recommended to discharge them periodically.

During storage, NiMH batteries self-discharge at the rate of approximately 30% per month. High temperatures accelerate this process. To prevent excessive discharge of rechargeable batteries it is recommended to charge them periodically even if they are not used.

Modern fast chargers detect both too low and too high a temperature of batteries and react accordingly. Too low a temperature prevents charging, which might damage the battery irreparably. High temperature of the battery stops any further charging. Charging at a high temperature reduces battery lifetime and causes a further increase of the battery temperature, which will not allow charging to full capacity.

With quick charging, batteries are charged to approximately 80% of their capacity. Better results may be obtained if charging is continued. Charging will continue, but with a low current. After a couple of hours the batteries are charged to their full capacity.

Do not charge or use batteries in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures reduce the lifetime of batteries. Avoid using devices powered from Ni-MH batteries in very hot environments. The nominal working temperature must be observed.

8 Cleaning and maintenance

NOTE!

Only use the maintenance methods described in this manual.

The outside of the MRU-30 meter may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents or abrasives which might scratch the case. Clean the probes with water and dry them. Before storing probes for long periods it is recommended to coat it with any machine lubricant to prevent corrosion. Cable reels and test leads should be cleaned with water and detergents and dried. The electronic system of the meter does not require maintenance.

9 Storage

When storing the MRU-30:

Disconnect all the test leads from the meter

Clean the meter and all its accessories thoroughly

Wind the long test leads onto the reels

To prevent a total discharge of the batteries charge them periodically.


10 Dismantling and disposal

Scrap and disused electric and electronic equipment should be disposed of selectively, i.e. not placed with waste of another kind.

Scrap and disused electric and electronic equipment should be sent to a collection point in accordance with local regulations for the disposal of electric and electronic equipment.

Before the equipment is sent to a collection point do not dismantle or disassemble any elements.

Observe local regulations concerning the disposal of equipment, and depleted batteries.
