1. Safe testing ！ Electricity is dangerous and can cause injury and death. Always treat it with the greatest of respectand care. If you are not quite sure how to proceed, stop a measurement and take advice from a qualified person. This instruction manual ontains warning and safety rules which must be observed by the user to ensure safe operation of the instrument and retain it in safe condition. Therefore, read through these operating instructions before using the instrument.
！ DANGER ● This instrument can be connected only to the commercial power of 240V+10%-10%, 50Hz. ● For safety reasons, only use the Test Leads designed to be used with this instrument and recommended by KYORITSU. ● Use only grounded mains outlets to supply the instrument. Do not touch the device under test while testing is in progress. ● Since a high voltage of 500V is outputting continuously, especially while measuring insulation resistance, user may get electrical shock.
2. Procedure of removing cover Model 6201 have a dedicated cover to protect against an impact from the outside and prevent the operation part, the LCD, and the connector socket from becoming dirty. The cover can be detached and put on the back side of the main body during measurement. 2.1 Method of removing the cover Fig.1 2.2 Method of storing the cover Fig.
3. Product summary and explanation 3.1 Product summary The Model 6201 is a hand-held portable appliance tester, performing four functions to ensure the Safety of Class I and Class II appliances. And also can measure the mains voltage. Readings are displayed on a large liquid crystal display(LCD) below which are three LEDs, light up in 2color, 2 color LEDs which unambiguously display a pass or fail indication for results dictated by international standards.

Specification ● General specification, measuring range and accuracy Voltage(VOLT) measurement of main power supply Measuring range Resolution Accuracy 207 ~ 264V AC 1V ± (2%rdg+3dgt) Measurement of Protective conductor resistance(RPE) Measuring range Resolution Open-circuit voltage Measuring current Accuracy 0 ~ 19.99Ω 10mΩ ±5.0± 0.
Reference test condition Unless otherwise specified, this specification is dependent on following condition.
5. Preparation before a measurement 5．1 Visual inspection Before starting a measurement, user should undertake visual checks on the mains cord, case and that the correct type and rated fuse is fitted to the DUT. And also there should be no evidence of damage of a nature that may impair the electrical safety of the item. 5.2 Connection to main power supply 5.2.1 Connection of mains cord Set the range switch to VOLT range, and connect the mains supply and the instrument with M7123 mains cord. M7123 Fig.
！ WARNING ● When the voltage of mains power supply is 265V or more, "HI-V" is displayed on the LCD and buzzer sounds (discontinuous sounds). In that case, disconnect the mains cord of the instrument from main power supply. 5.2.3 NULL setting Criteria of judgment for Earth Continuity is 1Ω, and it is low value. So even the resistance of Test Leads will affect the measurement result. This instrument, M-6201, can cancel the resistance of Test lead by pressing 250Ｖ/ 500Ｖ switch.
(3) Insert Test Lead with safety alligator clip(M-7129) in to the E terminal of the instrument, and contact the tip of the Test Lead with the metal parts of the socket on the instrument. Press start switch with contacting the Test Lead and the metal parts,the resistance of Test Lead will be displayed on the LCD as shown above fig.10 for 2sec. Then, the instrument cancels the resistance value of Test Lead and adjust the displayed value to "0.00" as shown below fig.10.
6. Measuring method 6.1 Earthed appliance Test The purpose of the test carried out for Class 1 appliances is to check the insulation resistance between accessible conductive parts and connection of protective earth and between live wire parts and accessible conductive parts is within the range defined in the standards. To conduct the tests of protective conductor resistance and insulation resistance for DUT, connect the mains plug of DUT to the test socket (1) described in clause 3.
(3) Connect Test Lead M-7129 to Rpe terminal and clip the metal part of DUT with alligator clip. (4) Press the START switch when above preparation is completed. (5) First, measure the protective conductor resistance. When it passes(1Ω or less), ○ Earth Continuity lights up in green and display the measured result on the LCD. (6) Then the instrument automatically performs insulation resistance measurement. When it passes(1MΩ or more), ○Insulation lights up in red and the measurement is completed.
6.2 Double Insulation Test The Class 2 appliances have the indication of "DOUBLE INSULATION" or the symbol of F. Double insulation test is to check the insulation resistance of the appliances is within the range defined in the standards. Fig.13 (1) Power on the DUT (2) Connect Test Lead M-7129 to Rpe terminal and clip the metal part of DUT with alligator clip. (3) Connect the mains plug of Safety class 2 DUT to test socket on the instrument. (4) Press the START switch when above preparation is completed.
！ CAUTION ● When the terminal is open or the resistance value exceeds measuring range, "OL" mark (over range display) appears on the LCD. ● Do not touch the device under test while testing is in progress. Since a high voltage of 500V, user may get electrical shock. 6.3 Extension Leads Test This test is for extension leads, and check: ＊ Protective conductor ＊ Insulation resistance between L and N, and insulation resistance between L/N and PE.
(1) Plug the extension leads adaptor M-7140 to the IEC socket of M-6201 connector block. (2) Connect the plug of the adaptor M-7140 for extension lead with the connector of the extension lead. (3) Insert the plug of extension lead into the socket on the front side of M-6201. (4) Set the range switch on M-6201 to Extension Leads Test range, and press the START switch. (5) Then protective conductor resistance is measured.
7. Fuse replacement When the fuse blows during use, please replace with new one according to below procedure. Fig.15 (1) Use a flat head screwdriver and turn it about 45°to left and remove the fuse cap and fuse. (2) Remove the fuse from the fuse cap and replace it with new one. (3) Install the fuse cap and fuse again. At that point, the screwdriver groove shall be at about 45°turned to left from the initial position. Use the flat head screwdriver and turn it to right.
8. Services If this instrument should fail to operate correctly, return it to your distributor. Please remember to give all the information possible concerning the nature of the fault, as this will mean that the instrument will be serviced and returned to you more quickly.
9. Case and strap assembly Strap belt and probe case can be attached to the instrument as below. Pass the strap belt down through the side panel of the main body from the top, and up through the slots of the probe form the bottom. (Fig. 16). Pass the strap through the buckle, adjust the strap for length and secure. Fig.
