3. Setup and Safety Precautions

3.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

The DT-5301 requires batteries for operation (not included). Refer to the battery compartment on the back of the device for proper installation. Ensure correct polarity.

3.2 Inspecció inicial

Before each use, inspect the tester and test leads for any signs of damage, cracks, or exposed wiring. Do not use the device if it appears damaged.

3.3 Directrius de seguretat

• Always ensure the device is set to the correct function and range before connecting to a circuit.
• No supereu les classificacions màximes d'entrada per a cap funció.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with electrical circuits.
• The device is rated CAT III 600V. Do not use it on circuits exceeding this rating.
• Ensure proper grounding when performing tests.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Dispositiu acabatview

The DT-5301 features a large LCD display, a rotary dial for function selection, and a 'TEST' button. It also includes a backlight button for visibility in low-light conditions.

4.2 Wiring Connection Check

The device is equipped with three LEDs to indicate the status of line connections (P-E, P-N). When P-E and P-N indicator lights are on, the line is connected correctly. If the P≥N indicator light is on, the line is connected incorrectly, and you should not proceed with measurements.

4.3 Realització d'una prova

1. Connect the test leads to the appropriate terminals on the DT-5301 and to the circuit under test.
2. Select the desired function (Loop Tester or PSC Tester) and range using the rotary dial. Available ranges include 20Ω, 200Ω, 2000Ω for Loop Impedance and 200A, 2000A, 20KA for PSC.
3. Ensure the wiring connection is correct by observing the P-E and P-N indicator lights.
4. Press the 'TEST' button to initiate the measurement. The tester will display the result for 5 seconds, then revert to displaying the voltage.

4.4 Funció de retroiluminació

Press the light bulb button to activate the display backlight for improved visibility in dimly lit environments.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Neteja

Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.

5.2 Substitució de la bateria

When the low battery indicator flag is displayed on the LCD, replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate measurements. Refer to the battery compartment for instructions on how to open and replace the batteries.

5.3 Emmagatzematge

Store the DT-5301 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The recommended storage temperature is -10°C to 60°C (14°F to 140°F) with humidity below 70% RH. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

6. Solució De Problemes

• "Temperature is High" Warning: If the LCD displays "Temperature is High" and flashes, the internal resistance is overheating. The tester will automatically cut off and lock. Allow the device to cool down before attempting further measurements.
• "250V" Warning: If the LCD flashes "250V", it indicates an overload protection trigger due to the voltage of P-E reaching 250V. The tester will stop the test to protect the device. Disconnect immediately and check the circuit voltage.
• Incorrect Wiring Indication (P≥N light): If the P≥N indicator light is on, the wiring connection is incorrect. Recheck your connections to ensure they are properly established (P-E and P-N lights should be on for correct wiring).
• Indicador de bateria baixa: If the low battery flag is displayed, replace the batteries as described in the Maintenance section.
• Cap pantalla/Dispositiu que no s'encén: Comproveu la instal·lació de les piles i assegureu-vos que les piles siguin noves.
