Protection devices

ASYC II series instruments are fitted with various protection devices :
∗
Varistor protection for limiting transients of over 1100 V at the VΩ terminal,
particularly 6 kV pulse streams as defined in French standard NFC 41-102.
∗
A PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) resistor protects against permanent
overvoltages of up to 600 V during resistance, capacitance and diode test
measurements. This protection is reset automatically after overload.
∗
Two fuses provide protection during measurements of intensity type.
∗
Maximum protection between mA and 10 A input terminals : 500 V.
∗
An IP protection rating of 67.
1.3.

Safety devices

∗
The SECUR'X patented system locks the leads in position on the instrument so they
cannot be accidentally disconnected. With this system, which is very simple to use,
banana plugs are inserted without force and locked in position by a tab on the groove
of the plug. They are released by pushing the tab towards the instrument and pulling
out the plug.
∗
The battery unit and fuses cannot be accessed without first disconnecting the
measuring leads.
∗
When measuring voltages above 24 V, the sign blinks
∗
If the maximum range is repeatedly exceeded, an intermittent audible signal indicates
the risk of electric shock.
