MFT1700/1800 Series

Multifunction Tester

Quick Start Guide

GSAFETY WARNINGS

n Safety warnings and precautions must be read and understood before

the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.

n The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised and isolated

before test connections are made when carrying out insulation and

continuity tests.

n Continuity of protective conductors and earthed equipotential bonding

of new or modified installations must be verified before carrying out an

earth fault loop impedance test, RCD or earth testing

n Do not touch circuit connections and exposed metalwork of an

installation or equipment under test. Under fault conditions the system

earth could become hazardous live.

n Do not touch the earth stakes, test leads and their terminations

(including connections to the earthing system under test) if an

installation earth fault can arise unless adequate precautions are taken.

n The ‘live circuit warning’ and ‘Automatic discharge’ functions are

additional safety features and should not be regarded as a substitute

for normal safe working practices.

n Do not move the rotary switch positions while a test is in progress.

n Do not operate the instrument or connect it to any external system

if it shows any visible signs of damage or if it has been stored for

prolonged periods in unfavourable conditions.

n Do not operate the instrument or connect it to any external system

if the battery compartment or casing is open or any parts of the case

(including keypad, selector switch, display window, etc.) are missing.

n Always disconnect the instrument from all systems while batteries are

being changed or the fuse replaced

n Do not replace the rechargeable cells in the MFT1730 and 1835 with

non-rechargeable “dry” cells and attempt to charge the cells. This can

cause explosion or fire.

n Do not operate the charging equipment supplied with the MFT1730 or

MFT1835 in damp or wet environments or outside. All test leads must

be removed from the instrument while charging.

n After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to discharge

before disconnecting test leads. Locking the Insulation test ON should

only be used where there is no risk of a circuit holding a charge.

n The instrument should not be used if any part of it is damaged.

n Test leads, probes and crocodile clips must be in good order, clean and

with no broken or cracked insulation.

n All test leads supplied with the instrument form part of the measuring

circuit of the instrument. They must not be modified or changed in any

way, or be used with any other electrical instrument or appliance.

n A plug severed from the power cord MUST be destroyed, as a plug with

bare conductors is hazardous in a live socket outlet.

n Ensure that hands remain behind guards of probes/clips when testing.

n U.K. Safety Authorities recommend the use of fused test leads when

measuring voltage on high energy systems.

n Replacement fuses must be of the correct type and rating.

n Failure to fit the correctly rated fuse will result in damage to the

instrument in the event of an overload.

n Special precautions are necessary when operating in situations where

“live” earths may be encountered: isolation switches and fuses (not

supplied with this instrument) must be used.

n Special precautions are necessary when working near high tension

systems (MV and HV): rubber gloves and shoes (not supplied with this

instrument) should be worn.

n Special precautions are necessary when working in wet conditions or

in agricultural areas: observe the local safety standards and take all

necessary special precautions applicable to the particular location and

do not touch the test leads with bare hands.

LIVE EARTH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

n A ‘Live’ earth is one that carries current from the mains supply, or could

do so under fault conditions. The following warnings apply in addition

to those listed previously.

n All persons involved must be trained and competent in isolation and

safety procedures for the system to be worked on. They must be clearly

instructed not to touch the earth electrode, test stakes, test leads, or their

terminations if any ‘Live’ earths may be encountered. It is recommended

that they wear appropriate rubber gloves, rubber soled shoes, and stand

on a rubber mat.

n The earth electrode under test should be isolated from the circuit it

is protecting before testing commences. If this is not possible, ART

(attached Rod Technique) may be used to measure electrode resistance.

n The instrument terminals should be connected to the system under test

through isolation switches that are rated to handle the likely maximum

fault voltages and currents that could be encountered at the installation.

The isolation switch must be open whilst any personal contact is made

with the remote test stakes, or the connecting leads, e.g. when changing

their position.

n The instrument terminals should be connected to the system under test

through fuses that are rated to handle the likely maximum fault voltages

and currents that could be encountered at the installation.

NOTE

THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY SUITABLY TRAINED

AND COMPETENT PERSONS

Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded that Health

and Safety Legislation requires them to carry out valid risk assessments of all

electrical work so as to identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk

of electrical injury such as inadvertent short circuits . Where the assessments

show that the risk is significant then the use of fused test leads constructed

in accordance with the HSE guidance not GS38 ‘Electrical Test Equipment

for use by Electricians ‘ should be used .

This instrument is internally protected against electrical damage when used

for the purposes of testing low voltage electrical installations as defined

herein. If used in a manor other than those defined in this user guide the

protection capabilities could be impaired with potential risk to the operator

and the instrument.

Symbols used on the instrument are:

G Caution: refer to accompanying notes

Maximum nominal system voltage of 600 V

c Equipment complies with current EU directives

Equipment complies with ‘C tick’ requirements

Maximum 300 V a.c. CAT IV to earth

Instrument protected by 2 x F2A 600 V 50 kA fuses

This equipment should be recycled as electronic waste
