Safety

Before you use the instrument, make sure that you read

and understand all the related data. This includes: the

applicable local safety procedures, this publication,

and the instructions for the

accessories/options/equipment you are using it with.

General

warnings

WARNING

It is dangerous to ignore the specified limits

for the instrument or its related accessories.

Do not use the instrument or accessory if it is

not in its normal condition.

Use the applicable protection and obey all

safety precautions.

Do not use the instrument in locations with

explosive gas, vapor or dust. There is a risk

of an explosion

Electrical

warnings

To prevent electrical shocks or damage to the

instrument, do not connect more than 30V

between the terminals, or between the terminals

and the ground.

This instrument uses a Lithium-Ion battery pack.

To prevent an explosion or fire, do not short

circuit, do not disassemble, and keep it safe

from damage. For operating conditions, see

section 6.1 on Page-85

To prevent battery leakage or heat generation,

only use the battery charger in the temperature

range 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F). For operating

conditions, see section 6.1 on Page-85.

To make sure the display shows the correct

data, disconnect the test leads before you set

the power to on or change to another measure

or source function.

Cautions

To prevent damage to the display, do not use

sharp objects on the screen.

Before you start an operation or procedure in this

publication, make sure that you have the

necessary skills (if necessary, with qualifications

from an approved training establishment). Follow

good engineering practice at all times.

2. PCE-MCA 50 Hardware Parts & Accessories

2.1 Unpacking & Inspection

At the factory each new PCE-MCA 50 passes a careful inspection. It should

be free of scrapes and scratches and in proper operation order upon

receipt. The receiver should, however, inspect the unit for any damage that

may have occurred during transit. If there are signs of obvious mechanical

damage, package contents are incomplete, or the instrument does not

operate according to specifications, contact the purchasing sales office as

soon as possible. The standard accessories are as follows:

If you have to return the instrument to the factory for any reason, use the

original packing whenever possible. Include a detailed description of the

reason for the return.

2.2 Operational Sections and Connections

All sections and connections are presented in detail on the next pages.

Note:

Keep in mind that the next picture (as well as all pictures of PCE-MCA 50

in this manual) has an example configuration of modules. The configuration

of your PCE-MCA 50 may vary significantly from the one in the picture.

2.2.1 The Terminal Connections

Keypad Section

TFT Color Display

USB Connection Slot for

PC Communication &

Charging

➢ EM (Electric Measurements and 24V Supply) Measure Terminals

Input Terminals for measuring voltage, current, supplying loop power,

and Frequency and pulse types refer specification sheet on page no.

79 Section 6.6 and page no. 82 Section 6.13, 6.14.

• Current Measurement

PCE-MCA 50 supports current measurement using either PCE-MCA

50 as the loop power supply while at the same time measuring the

current or simply measuring the current while an external power

supply is used.

The following picture displays the connection for Current

Measurement for different mode. And also different ways of providing

the supply power to the loop.

➢ mA Current Measurement

In this mode PCE-MCA 50 not providing any supply voltage.

For proper measurement the external device should capable of

providing the voltage supply. If the external device should not

capable, an external Power Supply should be connected in

series.
