5 Operating Instructions

Thank you for purchasing your Metrel MD1150 two-pole voltage tester with LCD screen.

The device can be used to detect DC and AC voltages of between 6 and 1000V, for

polarity, phase sequence and continuity testing at up to 2 k, and for FI/RCD tests.

The Metrel MD1150 carries a high protection rating (IP65), making it suitable for use in

harsh conditions.

Notes on safety:

You have selected a device that is designed to offer you a high degree of safety.

It conforms to standards DIN VDE 0682-401 and IEC/EN 61243-3. In order to

ensure that the unit is operated correctly and safely, read these operating

instructions thoroughly BEFORE operating the device.

The following safety precautions should be observed:

 Check the voltage tester for correct measuring lead,

housing and functionality immediately before each use (as

per VDE specification 0105, part 1), by connecting it to a

known voltage source (e.g. a 230V power socket).

 Make sure that the test leads and the instrument are in

proper working order. If the indicator shows that one or

more functions are not working correctly, do not use the

device any further, but have it examined by a qualified

service technician.

 Always hold the device by its handles. Avoid touching the

probe tips.

 The instrument may not be operated in humid

environments.

 Note that all testing for no voltage should be carried out at

two poles.

 Do not use when comportment is open! The test leads

should be removed from the measurement circuit while

changing the batteries.

 Trouble-free operation is guaranteed at temperatures of

between -10°C and +55°C.

 Keep the device clean and dry at all times. The casing

may be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.

 The additional warning symbols and acoustic signals

issued when voltages are greater than 35V are only

intended to warn of the danger of life-threatening voltage.

They should not be used for measurement puposes.

 Check to make sure that the warning tone can be heard

amidst the local ambient noises

General Points

Voltages have priority. If no voltage is detected at the probe tips (< 3.0 V), the devices is

in throughput testing mode.

6 Instrument Description

6.1 Function:

The device is activated and shut down at the “ON/OFF” switch. (See drawing) The “Auto

Power Off” function of the device activates after about short minutes. By pressing the

DATA-HOLD button switch longer than 2s the LED torch will be switched on.

6.2 Self testing:

Hold the probe tips together when carrying out this test. The buzzer on the test device

should sound clearly and the display should show nearly "000". If the LCD screen is

blank or dimly illuminated, the batteries must be replaced. If the unit does not work with

new batteries it has to be protected against wrong use.

6.3 Testing DC voltage:

When the probe tips are connected to a DC voltage within the nominal voltage range,

the reading is displayed in volts and the “DCV” symbol lights up. If a negative voltage is

detected at probe tip “L1”, a “-” (minus) symbol is displayed before the reading.

An acoustic signal an a blinking background light on the displayed are used to indicate

that there is a life-threatening voltage level at or above 35 V present.

6.4 Testing AC voltage:

When the probe tips are connected to an AC voltage within the nominal voltage range,

the reading is displayed in volts and the “ACV” symbol lights up.

An acoustic signal an a blinking background light on the displayed are used to indicate

that there is a life-threatening voltage level at or above 35 V present.

6.5 “Data Hold” function (only resistance):

Press the “Data Hold” button to save the LCD screen reading to memory. The

“D.H”symbol is shown on the display to indicate the “DATA-HOLD” function. This

function can be deactivated by pressing the same button a second time.

6.6 Phase testing:

Bring one of the probe tips into contact with a conductor, while touching the finger

contact located at the back. When a phase min. 100V~ is connected, the small LCD

screen indicates “L1”.

When using finger contact to determine the phase wire, the perceptibility of the display

can be effected by several factors, including insulated mechanisms that protect against

direct touch, poor positioning (for example, on wooden ladders or on insulated floor

surfaces), an unearthed voltage, or unfavourable lighting conditions.

6.7 Rotating field testing (max. 400V):

Determine which wires are the phase conductors, as described in the “Phase Testing”

section. The place two phase conductors on the test leads an touch the finger contact.

“<L” appears an the display to indicate a counter-clockwise field or “R>” for a clockwise

on the LCD and only approx. 230 V is displayed, then only one phase conductor is

active!

6.8 Continuity testing:

Bring the probe tips into contact with the conductor, fuse, etc. that is being tested. With

resistances of 0-2k, the resistance reading appears on the display and an acoustic

signal sounds. If the reading is >2k, the excess indicator “OL” appears on the display.

6.9 FI/RCD trigger test, PE (earth test):

The Metrel MD1150 carries a load that enables it to trigger a FI/RCD circuit breaker by

means of two buttons (FI/RCD) The FI/RCD (max. 30mA) is tested between the phase

an the PE conductor (max. voltage 240V).

6.10 Backlighting:

For operation in low-light conditions, the BL (backlight) sensor activates automatically to

ensure that the screen can be read even in total darkness.

6.11 Battery replacement:

To replace the batteries, ensure that the test probes are not connected to any voltage

source. Turn the battery compartment cap by 90° anti-clockwise and pull away from the

instrument (step 1). Replace the batteries, ensuring that the positive side of the battery

is inserted first (step 2). Replace the cap ensuring that the wider side of the cap is

inserted on the display side of the instrument (step 3). Push the cap into the instrument

and turn clockwise by 90° to lock into place (step 4).

Note: Batteries should not be disposed of as normal household waste. Take them to an

approved collection point.
