Persediaan

1. Pemasangan Bateri

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the MS5209 unit.
2. Buka penutup petak bateri.
3. Masukkan 8 bateri AA x 1.5V, pastikan kekutuban (+/-) yang betul.
4. Tutup penutup petak bateri dengan selamat.
5. Press the "OFF BATT.CHECK" button to verify battery status. The needle should move to the "OK" range if batteries are good.

2. Connecting Test Leads and Earth Spikes

For earth resistance measurements, connect the test leads and earth spikes as follows:

• Connect the red test lead to the "E" terminal on the tester.
• Connect the green test lead to the "P" terminal on the tester.
• Connect the black test lead to the "C" terminal on the tester.
• Drive the auxiliary earth spikes into the ground at appropriate distances from the earth electrode under test. Refer to standard earth resistance testing procedures for optimal spacing.
• Connect the other ends of the test leads to the earth electrode and auxiliary spikes accordingly.

Arahan Operasi

1. Earth Resistance Measurement

1. Ensure the test leads and earth spikes are connected correctly as per the setup instructions.
2. Select the appropriate measurement range (x1Ω, x10Ω, or x100Ω) using the range selection buttons. Start with a higher range if the resistance is unknown.
3. Press and hold the "MEAS." button. The analog needle will indicate the earth resistance value on the corresponding scale.
4. For simplified measurements, press the "SIMPLIFIED MEAS." button. This mode is designed for quick checks.
5. Read the value indicated by the needle on the scale. Multiply the reading by the selected range multiplier (e.g., if reading is 5 on x10Ω range, the resistance is 50Ω).
6. Release the "MEAS." button after taking the reading.

2. Earth Voltage Pengukuran

1. Connect the test leads to the points where earth voltage perlu diukur.
2. Press and hold the "AC V" button.
3. The analog needle will indicate the earth voltage value on the AC V scale.
4. Release the "AC V" button after taking the reading.

Penyelenggaraan

Pembersihan

Wipe the instrument's casing dengan lembut, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is dry before storage.

Penggantian Bateri

When the battery check indicates low power, replace all 8 x 1.5V AA batteries simultaneously. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.

Penyimpanan

Store the MS5209 tester in its carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
