2 Introduction

This manual describes the operation of MPU-1 leakage current alarm signaler. We recommend reading

the manual thoroughly in order to avoid errors that may result in danger to the user, or an incorrect

assessment of the tested network. For more information on safety during measurements -see Chapter

3 – Safety. Before first use of the device, be sure to read Chapter 5 – Starting the operation. For

additional information related to interpreting the warnings and information displayed by the device, it is

recommended to read Chapter 7 – Troubleshooting. All information on operating the device may be found in Chapter 6 – Operation.

3 Safety

The MPU-1 is designed for measuring and monitoring the leakage current in LV and MV AC

power systems. It is a tool for assessing the safety of electrical networks by measuring leakage

currents, such as at transmission pylons. The device allows users to set a threshold of leakage

current above which a visual and acoustic alarm will be triggered. The following

recommendations must be observed for the correct operation and accuracy of measured

results:

• Before using the device carefully read this manual

• The MPU-1 should be operated only by qualified persons that have passed occupational health

and safety training.

Do not use or operate the MPU-1 under the following circumstances:

The MPU-1 is damaged, completely, or partially out of order, or has been dropped or subjected to

physical abuse or shock.

The insulation of the test leads are damaged.

The MPU-1 has been stored for an excessive period of time in excessive humidity or heat.

Before using the device make sure the test leads are securely connected to the appropriate measurement sockets.

Repairs may be only performed only by an authorized Sonel service center.

Cautionary Notes:

• If the discharged battery symbol appears on the display (the internal power supply voltage is too low) recharge the batteries.

• When the power supply voltage is too low the measurements performed with the device may

include additional errors undetected by the user and they should not be used to confirm that the tested circuit or network is properly protected.

• Caution is required for AC voltages with RMS value exceeding 30 V or when their peak value

exceeds 42 V. Be also careful when DC voltages exceeding 60 V. Such voltages generate a risk of electric shock.

4 Description and Features

4.1 Characteristics of MPU-1

Design features of the MPU-1 include:

• Constant monitoring of (leakage) current flowing through the grounding of power poles, and pylons, in the range of 0.1 to 299A, in LV and MV 50Hz or 60Hz networks.


• Measurements can be made with one or two current probes. With two probes the measurement of

current is summed for both probes providing the opportunity to measure leakage current in twin poles using individual probes for each component pole.

• An alarm trigger can be set for when the current flow exceeds a user programmable threshold. The

default setting is at 1A. Both an acoustic alarm via a built-in speaker and a visual alarm via flashing

lights are provided.

• No measurement of direct currents.

• Measurements are made with Sonel flexible F-series current probes of Rogowski coil design.

Probes of various diameters can be used without the need to re-calibrate the MPU-1 for each probe.

• The enclosure is ergonomically designed and carries an IP 67 rating. (Protection from ingress

against dust, and immersion to 1m).

• Battery charge status is monitored. An LED indicates operation mode.

8 Power supply of the device

Note:

MPU-1 is designed to operate only with built-in rechargeable batteries installed in the

factory and with factory accessories for charging them.

CAUTION!

Connecting voltage higher than 25V between any of the test terminals may damage the

device.

8.1 Monitoring the power supply voltage The charge level of the rechargeable battery is indicated by the battery symbol continuously displayed

in the right upper corner of the screen. Ensure the MPU-1 battery is fully charged before use.

Batteries charged.

Batteries low.

Notes:

• A discharged battery appearing on the display along with flashing red status LED indicates that the supply voltage is too low and batteries need to be recharged,

• Extremely low battery charge level is indicated by two long beeps with alarm LEDs flashing, repeated every 15 seconds.

• When Low battery charge level is indicated the device should be switched off, or it will switch off

automatically. Measurements performed with low supply voltage will introduce additional errors.

Consequently, such measurements cannot be relied upon to be correct. Recharge the batteries to remedy.

8.2 Replacing rechargeable batteries

The battery may only be replaced only by Sonel’s authorized service department.

8.3 Charging rechargeable batteries

To charge the batteries connect the AC adapter to the socket marked Clamp (1) / Charger. When the

charging process starts the battery charging symbol appears on the screen and the status LED flashes green.


After 30 seconds the display turns off to save power. It may be re-activated pressing any button. After

the charging process ends the LED status indicator is continuously green and the screen displays "Accu full".

Note:

Due to interferences in the AC power the process of battery charging may finish prematurely. When

charging time is too short, turn the meter off, disconnect the charger and start charging again.

8.4 General principles for using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries

Remove the rechargeable batteries and store them separately if you do not use the device

for a prolonged period of time.

Store the batteries in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place and protect them from direct

sunlight. The storage temperature should not exceed 30°C / 86°F otherwise battery lifetime

will be reduced

Rechargeable batteries Ni-MH usually lasts for 500-1000 charging cycles. The rechargeable

batteries reach their maximum capacity after 2-3 charge and discharge cycles. The most

important factor which influences the lifetime of rechargeable batteries is the level of their

discharge. The deeper the discharge level of the batteries, the shorter their lifetime.

The memory effect is limited in the case of Ni-MH batteries. These batteries may be charged

at any point with no serious consequences. However, it is recommended to discharge them

completely periodically.

During storage of Ni-MH rechargeable batteries they will discharge at the rate of

approximately 30% per month. Keeping rechargeable batteries at high temperatures will

accelerate this process. In order to prevent excessive discharge of rechargeable batteries,

charge them from time to time (even if they are not used). Modern fast chargers detect both

too low and too high temperature of rechargeable batteries. Too low temperature prevents

the process of charging which can damage rechargeable batteries. An increase of the

temperature of the rechargeable batteries will stop charging. Charging at a high ambient

temperature reduces batteries' lifetime and causes a further increase of temperature with the

result that the batteries are not charged to their full capacity.

Note that when the batteries are charged with a fast-charger they are charged only to approx.

80% of their capacity. Better results can be achieved by continuing charging; the charger

enters trickle-charging mode and over a few hours the batteries are charged to their full

capacity.

Charging progress is shown in the battery

symbol.


Do not charge or use rechargeable batteries in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures

reduce the lifetime of rechargeable batteries; avoid use in very hot environments. The

working temperature range must be observed: -10°C to +50°C / 14°F to 122°F

9 Cleaning and maintenance

CAUTION!

Use only the maintenance methods specified by the manufacturer in this manual.

The case of the MPU-1 may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do not

use any solvents or cleaning agents which might scratch or abrade the casing. Current probes should

be cleaned using the same methods as the case. Probes and test leads should be cleaned with water

and detergents, but not immersed, and then dried. The electronic system of the device does not require maintenance.

10 Storage

During the storage of the device, the following recommendations must be observed:

• Disconnect all the test leads from the device

• Thoroughly clean the device and its accessories

• To prevent total discharge of the rechargeable batteries due to the prolonged storage charge them periodically

• Storage temperature conditions must be observed: -20°C to +80°C / -4°F to 176°F

11 Dismantling and Disposal

Scrap and disused electronic equipment must not be placed with waste of another kind and should be

sent to a collection point in accordance with local laws for the disposal of electrical and electronic

equipment. Before the equipment is sent to a collection point, do not dismantle any elements.

Observe local regulations concerning the disposal of equipment, and spent batteries.
