1.1 Warnings and notes

Read before use

1.1.1 Safety warnings

In order to reach high level of operator safety while carrying out various measurements using the
EurotestXD instrument, as well as to keep the test equipment undamaged, it is necessary to
consider the following general warnings:
 Read Instruction manual carefully, otherwise the use of the instrument may be
dangerous for the operator, the instrument or for the equipment under test!
 Consider warning markings on the instrument (see next chapter for more
information).
 If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this user manual, the
protection provided by the equipment could be impaired!
 Do not use the instrument or any of the accessories if any damage is noticed!
 Regularly check the instrument and accessories for correct functioning to avoid
hazard that could occur from misleading results.
 Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric shock
while dealing with hazardous voltages!
 Always check for the presence of dangerous voltage on PE test terminal of
installation by touching the TEST key on the instrument or by any other method
before starting single test and Auto Sequence® measurements. Make sure that the
TEST key is grounded through human body resistance without any insulated
material between (gloves, shoes, insulated floors, pens,...). PE test could
otherwise be impaired and results of a single test or Auto Sequence® can mislead.
Even detected dangerous voltage on PE test terminal cannot prevent running of a
single test or Auto Sequence®. All such behaviour is regarded as misuse.
Operator of the instrument must stop the activity immediately and eliminate the
fault/connection problem before proceeding with any activity!
 Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!
 In case a fuse has blown follow the instructions in this manual in order to replace
it! Use only fuses that are specified!
 Service, calibration or adjustment of instruments and accessories is only allowed
to be carried out by a competent authorized person!
 Do not use the instrument in AC supply systems with voltages higher than 550
Va.c.
 Consider that protection category of some accessories is lower than of the
instrument. Test tips and Tip commander have removable caps. If they are
removed the protection falls to CAT II. Check markings on accessories!
▪ cap off, 18 mm tip: CAT II up to 1000 V
▪ cap on, 4 mm tip: CAT II 1000 V / CAT III 600 V / CAT IV 300 V
 The instrument comes supplied with rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. The battery
pack should only be replaced with the same type as defined on the battery
compartment label or as described in this manual!

9
MI 3155 EurotestXD General description

 Hazardous voltages exist inside the instrument. Disconnect all test leads, remove
the power supply cable and switch off the instrument before removing battery
/fuse compartment cover.
 Do not connect any voltage source on C1 inputs. It is intended only for connection
of current clamps. Maximal input voltage is 3 V!

1.1.2 Markings on the instrument

 Read the Instruction manual with special care to safety operation«. The
symbol requires an action!

 Do not use the instrument in AC supply systems with

voltages higher than 550 Va.c.!

 Mark on your equipment certifies that it meets requirements of all subjected

EU regulations.

 This equipment should be recycled as electronic waste.

1.1.3 Warnings related to safety of batteries

 Use only batteries and power supply adapter delivered from the manufacturer or
distributer of the test equipment.
 Never dispose of the batteries in a fire as it may cause them to explode or generate
a toxic gas.
 Do not attempt to disassemble, crush or puncture the batteries in any way.
 Do not short circuit or reverse polarity the external contacts on a battery.
 Avoid exposing the battery to excessive shock/impacts or vibration.
 Do not use a damaged battery.
 The Li – ion battery contains safety and protection circuit, which if damaged, may
cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
 Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
 If a battery has leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids.
 In case of eye contact with fluid, do not rub eyes. Immediately flush eyes
thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids, until no
evidence of the fluid remains. Seek medical attention.

1.1.4 Warnings related to safety of measurement functions

Insulation resistance (R iso, R iso – all)
 Insulation resistance measurement should only be performed on de-energized objects!
 Do not touch the test object during the measurement or before it is fully discharged! Risk
of electric shock!

Continuity functions (R low, R low 4W, Continuity)

 Continuity measurements should only be performed on de-energized objects!

MI 3155 EurotestXD General description

1.1.5 Notes related to measurement functions

Insulation resistance (R iso, R iso – all)
 The measuring range is decreased if using Tip commander A 1401.
 If a voltage of higher than 30 V (AC or DC) is detected between test terminals, the
measurement will not be performed.
 Load pretest detects possible connection of appliances to the system during test. Test
eliminates possible damage to the equipment that could be connected to the system
during Insulation resistance measurements.
 Load pretest is carried out between same terminals as the Insulation resistance
measurement.
 Load pretest is carried out only when Uiso ≤ 1000 V.

Diagnostic test
 If any insulation resistance values (RISO(15 s) or RISO(60 s )) are over-ranged the DAR
factor is not calculated. The result field is blank: DAR:_____!
 If any insulation resistance values (RISO(60 s) or RISO(10 min)) are over-ranged the PI
factor is not calculated. The result field is blank: PI :_____!

Continuity functions (R low, R low 4W, Continuity)

 If a voltage of higher than 10 V (AC or DC) is detected between test terminals, the
measurement will not be performed.
 Parallel loops may influence on test results.
 In some kind of PRCDs types (PRCD-3p and PRCD-S+), the protective conductor is
monitored. For protective conductor resistance measurement, a test current of 200 mA is
required. Direct application will cause tripping of PRCD, so PE conductor measurement
is not possible.
In this case use a test parameter Current set to 'ramp', where special ramp curve is
used for PE conductor resistance measurement without tripping of PRCD. If Current
parameter is set to 'normal', a standard test current curve is used.

Earth, Earth 2 clamp, Ro

 If voltage between test terminals is higher than 10 V (Earth, Earth 2 clamps) or 30 V (Ro)
the measurement will not be performed.
 Contactless earthing resistance measurement (using two current clamps) enables simple
testing of individual earthing rods in large earthing system. It is especially suitable for use
in urban areas because there is usually no possibility to place the test probes.
 For two clamps earth resistance measurement clamps A 1018 and A 1019 should be
used. Clamps A 1391 are not supported. The distance between clamps should be at
least 30 cm.
 For specific earth resistance measurements  Adaptor A 1199 should be used.

RCD t, RCD I, RCD Uc, RCD Auto

 Parameters set in one function are also kept for other RCD functions!
 Selective (time-delayed) RCDs have delayed response characteristics. As the contact
voltage pre-test or other RCD tests influence the time delayed RCD it takes a certain
period to recover into normal state. Therefore, a time delay of 30 s is inserted before
performing trip-out test by default.
 Portable RCDs (PRCD, PRCD-2p, PRCD-3p, PRCD-S, PRCD-S+ and PRCD-K) are
tested as general (non-delayed) RCDs. Trip-out times, trip-out currents and contact
voltage limits are equal to limits of general (non-delayed) RCDs.
 In some kind of PRCDs types (PRCD, PRCD-3p, PRCD-S+ and PRCD-K), the protective
conductor is monitored and carried out in the opposite direction through current sensor
circuitry. During periodic testing – when fault current flows through phase and protective

conductor – this can cause misunderstanding, because PRCD reacts at half the tripping
fault current. In order to prevent this, use parameter Sensitivity set to 'Ipe monitoring',
where test current will be a half of selected nominal tripping current.
If Sensitivity parameter is set to 'standard', a test current with nominal tripping current
is used.
 The a.c. part of MI and EV RCDs is tested as general (non-delayed) RCDs.
 The d.c. part of MI and EV RCDs is tested with a d. c. test current The Pass limit is
between 0.5 and 1.0 IdNDC.
 The Zs rcd function takes longer to complete but offers much better accuracy of fault loop
resistance (in comparison to the RL sub-result in Contact voltage function).
 Auto test is finished without x5 tests in case of testing the RCD types A, F, B and B+ with
rated residual currents of IdN = 300 mA, 500 mA, and 1000 mA or testing the RCD type
AC with rated residual current of IdN = 1000 mA . In this case Auto test result passes if all
other results pass, and indications for x5 are omitted.
 Auto test is finished without x1 tests in case of testing the RCD types B and B+ with rated
residual currents of IdN = 1000 mA. In this case Auto test result passes if all other results
pass, and indications for x1 are omitted.
 Tests for sensitivity Idn(+) and Idn(-) are omitted for selective type RCD.
 Trip out time measurement for B and B+ type RCDs in AUTO function is made with sine-
wave test current, while trip-out current measurement is made with DC test current.

Z loop, Zloop 4W, Zs rcd

 The specified accuracy of tested parameters is valid only if the mains voltage is stable
during the measurement.
 The measurement accuracy and immunity against noise are higher if I test parameter in
Zsrcd is set to ‘Standard’.
 Fault loop impedance (Z loop) measurements will trip an RCD.
 The Zs rcd measurement does not normally trip an RCD. However, if a leakage current
from L to PE already flows or if a very sensitive RCD is installed (for example EV type)
the RCD could trip. In this case setting parameter I test to ‘Low’ can help.

Z line, Z line 4W, Voltage drop

 In case of measurement of ZLine-Line with the instrument test leads PE and N connected
together the instrument will display a warning of dangerous PE voltage. The
measurement will be performed anyway.
 Specified accuracy of tested parameters is valid only if mains voltage is stable during the
measurement.
 If the reference impedance is not set the value of ZREF is considered as 0.00 Ω.
 The lowest value of Zref, measured at different settings of the Test or Phase parameters
is used for Voltage drop (ΔU) measurement in Voltage drop single test, Zauto single test,
auto tests and Auto Sequences®.
 Measuring Zref without test voltage present (disconnected test leads) will reset Zref value
to initial value.

Power, Harmonics, Currents

 Consider polarity of current clamp (arrow on test clamp should be oriented toward
connected load), otherwise result will be negative!

Illumination
 LUXmeter type B (A 1172) and LUXmeter type C (A 1173) probes are supported by the
instrument.
 Artificial light sources reach full power of operation after a period of time (see technical
data for light sources) and should be therefore switched on for this period of time before
the measurements are taken.

12
MI 3155 EurotestXD General description

 For accurate measurement make sure that the milk glass bulb is lit without any shadows
cast by hand, body or other unwanted objects.
 Refer to the Illuminance handbook for more information.

Rpe
 The specified accuracy of tested parameters is valid only if the mains voltage is stable
during the measurement.
 Measurement will trip an RCD if the parameter RCD is set to ‘No’.
 The measurement does not normally trip an RCD if the parameter RCD is set to ‘Yes’.
However, the RCD can trip if a leakage current from L to PE already flows.

IMD
 It is recommended to disconnect all appliances from the tested supply to receive regular
test results. Any connected appliance will influence the insulation resistance threshold
test.
Discharging time
 Interpretation of the ‘Repeat’ message:
It is not possible to differentiate between a disconnection moment at very low voltage and
a machine with a very low discharging time. In both cases the reading will be 0.0 s
together with the “Repeat” warning. If after few repetitions the result is always 0.0 s with
the “Repeat” message it can be considered as a valid 0.0 s result.
A 0.0 s reading without the “Repeat” message is a valid result.
 Residual voltage is not displayed for DUTs with very low discharging time, or if detected
disconnection voltage is lower than 20 V.

Z line mΩ, Z loop mΩ

 MI 3143 Euro Z 440 V, MI 3144 Euro Z 800 V or A 1143 Euro Z 290 A adapter is required
for these measurements.

AutoTT, Auto TN(RCD), Auto TN, Auto IT, Zauto

 Voltage drop (dU) measurement in each Auto test is enabled only if ZREF is set.
 See notes related to Zline, Zloop, Zs rcd, Voltage drop, Rpe, IMD and ISFL single tests.

Auto Sequences®
 Metrel Auto Sequences® are designed as guidance to tests in order to significantly
reduce testing time, improve work scope and increase traceability of the tests performed.
METREL assumes no responsibility for any Auto Sequence® by any means. It is the
user’s responsibility, to check adequacy for the purpose of use of the selected Auto
Sequence®. This includes type and number of tests, sequence flow, test parameters and
limits.
 Auto Sequences® mode allows building custom-defined test sequences.
 See notes related to single tests in the selected Auto Sequence®.
 Compensate test leads resistance before entering Auto Sequences®.
 Zref value for Voltage drop test (ΔU) implemented in any Auto Sequence® should be set
in single test function.

1.2 Testing potential on PE terminal

In certain instance faults on the installation's PE wire or any other accessible metal bonding
parts can become exposed to live voltage. This is a very dangerous situation since the parts
connected to the earthing system are considered to be free of potential. In order to properly

check the installation against this fault the key should be used as an indicator prior to
performing live tests.

Examples for application of PE test terminal

Figure 1.1: Reversed L and PE conductors (plug commander)

Figure 1.2: Reversed L and PE conductors (application of 3-wire test lead)

Warning!

Reversed phase and protection conductors! The most dangerous situation!

If dangerous voltage is detected on the tested PE terminal, stop all measurements
immediately and ensure the cause of the fault is eliminated before proceeding
with any activity!

14
MI 3155 EurotestXD General description

Test procedure

 Connect test cable to the instrument.

 Connect test leads to the object under test, see Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2.

 Touch test probe for at least 1 second.

If PE terminal is connected to phase voltage the warning message is displayed, display
is yellow coloured, instrument buzzer is activated and further measurements are
disabled: RCD tests, Z loop, Zs rcd, Z auto, AUTO TT, AUTO TN, AUTO TN (rcd) and
Auto Sequences®.

Notes:
 PE test terminal is active in the Voltage, Rpe, RCD tests, Z loop, Zs rcd, Z auto, Z line,
ΔU, AUTO TT, AUTO TN, AUTO TN (rcd), AUTO IT tests and Auto Sequences only!
 In case of detection of phase voltage on PE terminal in IT earthing system, the tests can
be enabled/disabled according to setting of parameter ‘Ignore PE probe warning (IT)’.

 For correct testing of PE terminal, the key has to be touched for at least 1 second.
 Make sure that the TEST key is grounded through human body resistance without any
insulated material between (gloves, shoes, insulated floors, pens, ...). PE test could
otherwise be impaired and results of a single test or Auto Sequence® can mislead. Even
detected dangerous voltage on PE test terminal cannot prevent running of a single test or
Auto Sequence®. All such behaviour is regarded as misuse. Operator of the instrument
must stop the activity immediately and eliminate the fault/connection problem before
proceeding with any activity!

1.3.1 Precharge
On power up, if the battery voltage is below the VLOWV threshold, the charger applies 1/8 of the
charging current to the battery. The precharge feature is intended to revive deeply discharged
battery. If the VLOWV threshold is not reached within 30 minutes of initiating precharge, the
charger turns off and a FAULT is indicated.

The charger continuously monitors battery temperature. To initiate a charge cycle, the battery
temperature must be within the TLTF to THTF thresholds. If battery temperature is outside of this
range, the controller suspends charge and waits until the battery temperature is within the TLTF to
THTF range.
If the battery temperature is between the TLTF and TCOOL thresholds or between the TWARM and
THTW thresholds, charge is automatically reduced to ICH/8 (1/8 of the charging current).

High Insulation voltage can potentially damage the connected appliances during the Insulation
measurement. This misuse can be prevented by enabling Load pretest functionality in Settings
menu. Load pretest measures the impedance on test terminals with low and safe a.c. voltage. If
impedance lower than 50 kΩ is detected, warning message is displayed, allowing to disconnect
the appliances before test voltage is applied (see Figure 7.10). Insulation measuring voltage is
applied to the test terminals only after YES is selected. NO will abort the measurement.
If impedance higher than 50 kΩ is measured during the Load pretest, Insulation test will follow
automatically.

This chapter describes how to compensate the test leads resistance in R low and Continuity
functions. Compensation is required to eliminate the influence of test leads resistance and the
internal resistances of the instrument on the measured resistance. The lead compensation is
therefore a very important feature to obtain correct result.
symbol is displayed if the compensation was carried out successfully.

𝑈𝐿1−𝐿2
Calculated first fault leakage current at threshold insulation resistance is given as 𝐼1(2) = 𝑅1(2)
,
where UL1-L2 is line-line voltage. The calculated first fault current is the maximum current that
would flow when insulation resistance decreases to the same value as the applied test
resistance, and a first fault is assumed between opposite line and PE.

If any of the activation / disconnection time result (t1, t2) is out of set limit, overall status of the
test is “failed” and cannot be modified manually. Otherwise, overall status can be user defined.
If activation of IMD device is visual indication and/or audio alert, without voltage disconnection,
Time limit (t1,t2) parameter should be set to “Off” to disable timing limitation.

Measuring principle

The measuring principle of the discharging time function is as following:

Step 1: The DUT is connected to supply voltage via an external socket.

The instrument monitors the voltage (on supply or internal connections) and
internally stores the peak voltage, r.m.s. voltage and frequency values.
Step 2: The DUT is disconnected from the supply and the voltage at the test terminals
starts to fall. Once the rms voltage falls for 10 V the instrument starts to measure
discharging time.
Step 3: After the voltage drops below an internally calculated voltage value the timer is
stopped. The instrument re-calculates the measured time and residual voltage to
values as they would be, if the disconnection occurred at the maximum voltage
value.

Voltage test terminals connection and current flow toward load should be taken into account;
the red voltage terminal should be connected to the Line terminal and the jaw should be
correctly oriented, to obtain positive sign of Power test result. If Power test result has negative
sign, connection of voltage terminal or jaw orientation are opposite and the result of phase

Inrush CLAMP function records current and voltage transients that occur when load is turned
on. Recorded values are presented on the screen of the instrument in separate charts. Two
event triggers can be set, Voltage dip or Inrush current. Only one trigger can be active at the
same time; when one is set, the other is switched off automatically. Voltage dip trigger is
effective only if MD 9273 Voltage input is connected to supply circuit. Minimum effective circuit
voltage is calculated during recorded transient and compared with set voltage threshold. Inrush
current trigger is effective only if the wire with flowing current is embraced with MD 9273 jaws.
Maximum effective ac circuit current is calculated during recorded transient and compared with
set Inrush threshold.
After Inrush Test is started, MD 9273 starts to record signals and waits for trigger event to
occur, which is symbolised with sign on the bottom right of the screen. Displayed chart is
divided in Pre-trigger area, presenting first second of total set chart duration time and transient
event area – rest of the chart duration time.
Trigger event occur automatically, when one of the recorder signals achieve set threshold level
or can be initiated manually by tapping on the icon within command menu on the right of the

Appendix A Profile notes

Instrument supports working with multiple Profiles. This appendix contains collection of minor
modifications related to particular country requirements. Some of the modifications mean
modified listed function characteristics related to main chapters and others are additional
functions. Some minor modifications are related also to different requirements of the same
market that are covered by various suppliers.

A.1 Profile Austria (ATAF)

Testing special delayed G type RCD supported.

Modifications in chapter 7.9 Testing RCDs.

Special delayed G type RCD selection added in the Selectivity parameter in Test Parameters /
Limits section as follows:

Selectivity Characteristic [--, S, G]

Time limits are the same as for general type RCD and contact voltage is calculated the same as
for general type RCD.

Selective (time delayed) RCDs and RCDs with (G) - time delayed characteristic demonstrate
delayed response characteristics. They contain residual current integrating mechanism for
generation of delayed trip out. However, contact voltage pre-test in the measuring procedure
also influences the RCD and it takes a period to recover into idle state. Time delay of 30 s is
inserted before performing trip-out test to recover S type RCD after pre-tests and time delay of 5
s is inserted for the same purpose for G type RCD.

Appendix C Locator receiver R10K

The highly sensitive hand-held receiver R10K detects the fields caused by the currents in
the traced line. It generates sound and visual output according to the signal intensity. The
operating mode switch in the head detector should always be set in IND (inductive) mode.
The CAP (capacitive) operating mode is intended for operating in combination with other
Metrel measuring equipment.
The built in field detector is placed in the front end of the receiver. External detectors can be
connected via the rear connector.
Traced object must be energized when working with the EurotestXD.

Detectors Operation
In built inductive sensor (IND) Tracing hidden wires.
Current clamp (optional) Connected through the rear connector.
Locating wires.
Selective probe Connected through the rear connector.
Locating fuses in fuse cabinets.

Figure C.1: Receiver R10K

The user can choose between three sensitivity levels (low, middle and high). An extra
potentiometer is added for fine sensitivity adjustment. A buzzer sound and 10-level LED bar
graph indicator indicates the strength of the magnetic field e.g. proximity of the traced object.

Note:
 The field strength can vary during tracing. The sensitivity should always be adjusted
to optimum for each individual tracing.
