Marking Explanations

Warning! Refer to manual.

Caution! Voltage present. Risk of Electric Shock.

Earth

Double Insulation

This instrument should be recycled as electronic waste.

User accessible fuse in battery compartment - F0.5A, 500V, HRC 6.3 x 32mm

Prohibited to use for the Electrical System which uses the voltage above 550V.

Conformity to European Standards

CAT III/CAT IV

CAT III Testers are designed to protect against transients and fault

currents in ﬁxed equipment installations at the distribution level. Exam

ples are measurements on distribution boards and socket wiring.

CAT IV Testers are designed to protect against transients and fault currents

from the primary supply level (overhead or underground utility service).

Examples are measurements made before the main fuse or circuit breaker.

Warnings

Read Before Using

• To maintain operator safety use only speciﬁed accessories.

• When working on live circuits, use of a proving unit such as the

Socket & See SP400 is recommended to establish correct function

of the tester.

• If the equipment is used in a manner not speciﬁed by the

manufacturer, the protection by the equipment may be impaired.

• Disconnect from external circuits before removing battery cover.

• Inspect the tester and accessories for damage before use and do

not use if damage is found.

Safety

See page 2 for a list of symbols used on the product and in this manual.

A Warning identiﬁes hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or

death.

A Caution identiﬁes conditions and actions that could damage the instrument or cause

permanent loss of data.

Warnings: Read Before Using

To prevent possible electrical shock, ﬁre, or personal injury:

• Use the product only as speciﬁed, or the protection supplied by

the product can be compromised.

• Do not use the product around explosive gas, vapour or in damp or

wet environments.

• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads

for damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear indicator

shows. Check test lead continuity.

• Use only approved accessories such as test leads etc supplied with

the instrument. Part numbers of replacement leads on pg 4

• Do not use the product if it is damaged.

• To be repaired by Socket & See authorised agents only.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage between the terminals or

between each terminal and earth ground.

• Remove test leads from the tester before battery cover is removed.

• Do not operate the product with covers removed or the case open.

Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.

• Use only speciﬁed replacement fuse. Fuse type F0.5A, 500V, HRC

6.3 x 32mm

• Keep ﬁngers behind the ﬁnger guards on the probes at all times.

• Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and

remove the live test lead before the common test lead.

• Use Personal Protective Equipment (approved rubber gloves, face

protection, and ﬂame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock and arc

blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

Operating the Socket & See MFT5000

To insert batteries ensure the instrument is switched o and no test leads are connected.

Remove battery cover from base of unit, insert batteries into holder ensuring correct

polarity.

Replace cover.

Always use good quality LR6 AA Alkaline Batteries.

Re-chargeable batteries are not suitable.

Battery power level indicated on the colour display by the symbol.

Please dispose of your batteries carefully.

Batteries are made from important resources and chemicals, including lead, cadmium,

zinc, lithium and mercury. If batteries are disposed of as normal waste, they'll be taken to

a landﬁll site and those resources will be lost and will contribute to the pollution of the

environment. Recycling is one way you can help the environment and you should dispose

of used batteries separately from other waste, using local collection

and recycling schemes available.

Test and Measurement Functions

Continuity

Caution

Principal of Measurement.

During continuity measurement current ﬂows from battery positive through the Brown

(VΩ) lead, external circuit resistance, Green (COM) lead, meter resistance and ﬁnally

back to the battery negative.

The current and voltage are measured as shown and the external resistance calculated.

When the leads have previously been nulled, their resistance is subtracted before

displaying the reading.

The purpose of Continuity Testing is to establish the resistance of the circuit under test.

Test Procedure

Insert the brown test lead into the brown input terminal & the blue test lead into the

green terminal.

The brown test lead can be substituted by using the red remote test probe supplied.

This allows remote activation of the MFT5000 from the safety of the test probe ensur-

ing that you are always looking at the point of contact and not the MFT5000.
