5. Kurulum

Before first use, install the batteries and prepare the test leads.

5.1 Pil Kurulumu

  1. Cihazın arka tarafında bulunan pil bölmesini bulun.
  2. Pil kapağını açmak için bir tornavida kullanın.
  3. Insert 6 x 1.5V AA batteries, observing the correct polarity.
  4. Pil kapağını yerine takın ve vidayla sabitleyin.

5.2 Test Uçlarının Bağlanması

Connect the test leads to the appropriate input terminals on the UT526. The terminals are color-coded and labeled for clarity (e.g., LINE, N, E, L).

6. Kullanım Talimatları

The UT526 offers various measurement functions. Select the desired function using the rotary switch.

6.1 Measuring Insulation Resistance

This function measures the insulation resistance of electrical circuits and equipment.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to one of the insulation test voltage settings: 100V, 250V, 500V, or 1000V.
  2. Insert test leads into the input terminals (Red to LINE, Black to N) and connect them to the circuit under test. High voltage, LINE terminalinden çıktıdır.
  3. For continuous measurement, press the TEST button. The tester will self-lock, output the test voltage, and emit a warning light simultaneously.
  4. Once the measurement is finished, press TEST again to unlock and stop the continuous measurement.

6.2 RCD Testi (Kaçak Akım Cihazı)

The RCD test function verifies the proper operation of Residual Current Devices, ensuring they trip within specified parameters.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to the RCD function.
  2. Connect the test leads to the appropriate terminals of the RCD or circuit.
  3. Select the desired test current and phase (0° or 180°) using the function buttons.
  4. Initiate the test. The device will measure the trip time and display the result.

6.3 Low Resistance Continuity Measurement

This function checks for continuity in circuits and measures low resistance values.

  1. Turn the rotary switch to the Continuity function.
  2. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be tested.
  3. The display will show the resistance value. An audible beep indicates continuity (typically below a certain resistance threshold).
