Sonel CMP-1010 - WARNING - 3

If DC current is measured and the meter is not attached to the tested circuit, but it still indicates a non-zero value, then you must reset it by pressing and holding REL button.

5.2 Non-contact voltage detector

Sonel CMP-1010 - Non-contact voltage detector - 1

WARNING

  • The detector is designed to detect the presence of a voltage, not for determining its absence.
  • Electric shock hazard. Before using the tester, check if its operational by testing it on a known AC voltage (i.e. next applicable socket with live voltages).

To activate the detector:

  • set the rotary switch at any position,
  • touch the tip of the detector to the tested object.
    If the AC voltage is present, the indicator light will glow red.

Sonel CMP-1010 - WARNING - 1

  • The wires in the extension cords are often twisted. For best results, move the tip of the detector along the wire to locate the live line.
  • The indicator has a high sensitivity. It can be randomly actuated by static electricity or other energy sources. This is normal.
  • The type and thickness of the insulation, distance from the power source, shielded cables and other factors may affect the operation of the tester. If you are unsure about the test result, check the presence of voltage in a different way.

5.3 Voltage measurement

Sonel CMP-1010 - Voltage measurement - 1

WARNING

  • Electric shock hazard. The ends of measuring probes, due to their length, may not reach the live parts inside some network connections of low-voltage electrical equipment, because the contacts are arranged inside the sockets. In such a case, the read-out will be 0 V with the simultaneous presence of voltage in the socket.
  • Before acknowledging the absence of voltage in the socket make sure that the ends of the probe touch the metal contacts inside the socket.

Sonel CMP-1010 - WARNING - 1

CAUTION!

Do not measure the voltage when an electric motor located within the circuit is being switched on or off. Resulting voltage spikes may damage the meter.

To perform AC voltage measurement:

  • set the rotary switch at (direct voltage) or Hz% (alternating voltage),
  • connect black test lead to COM terminal, and red test lead to V Hz% -CAPTemp terminal,
  • contact the tips of test probes to the points of measurement,
  • read the measurement result on the display.

5.4 Frequency measurement

To perform frequency measurement:

  • set the rotary switch at Hz% or LoZ Hz%,
  • press MODE/INRUSH button to display Hz on the screen,
  • connect black test lead to COM terminal, and red test lead to

  • read the measurement result on the display.

5.6 LoZ measurement (elimination of interference and induced voltages)

Measurement function in 'LoZ' mode eliminates the influence or interference voltages or induced voltages, making the measurement more accurate and reliable. These voltages may occur due to capacitive feedback between the live conductors and the unused conductors located in the vicinity:

  • set the rotary switch at LoZ VHz%
  • press MODE/INRUSH button to display the following symbol:
    V AC – if you are measuring alternating voltage,
    Hz – if you are measuring frequency,
    ⇒ % – if you are measuring duty cycle,
