Whenhighresistancemeasurementsareconducted,strayelectricalincircuitsundertest

mustbedischarged.

Donotreplacethebatterieswhentheinstrumentiswet.

Ensuresecureconnectionswiththetestleadsandtheinstrument’stestleadterminals.

Shuttheinstrumentdownbeforeopeningthebatterycompartment.



Caution

Circuitsundertestmustbecompletelydischargedandisolatedfrompowercircuitsbefore

takingresistancemeasurements.

Ifthetestleadsoradaptorsneedtobereplacedduetodamage,replacewithtestleadsor

adaptorsofthesamemodelorelectricalspecifications.

Donotusetheinstrumentiflowbatteryindicatorshowsthelowbatteryindicator.Ifthe

instrumentwillnotbeusedforalongperiod,pleaseremovethebatteryandstoresafely.

Donotstoreoroperatetheinstrumentinareasofhightemperature,highhumidity,flameor

explosivepotentials,orwherestrongelectromagneticfieldsexist.

Cleantheinstrumenthousingwithadampclothandmildcleaningagent;donotuse

OperatingInstructions

WARNING:Riskofelectrocution.High‐voltagecircuits,bothACandDC,areverydangerousand

shouldbemeasuredwithgreatcare.

1. ALWAYSturnthefunctionswitchtotheOFFpositionwhenthemeterisnotinuse.

2. If“OL”appearsinthedisplayduringameasurement,thevalueexceedsthemeter’srange.

3. Ifthebatteriesareweakreplacethembeforeperformingtests.Thebatteryindicatoronthe

upperleftalertstheuserwhenbatterypowerislow.Thebatterycompartmentisaccessed

throughthebackofthemetersecuredbyonePhillipsheadscrew.

DISPLAYBACKLIGHT

Pressandholdthebacklightbuttonfor2secondstoswitchthebacklightonoroff.Forbest

batteryefficiencyusethebacklightonlywhenneeded.

HOLD

Theautomaticholdfunctionfreezestheinsulationresistancereadinginthedisplayforashort

3. PresstheTESTbuttontotest.The

buttonwillself‐lockandthebutton

lampwilllight.

Note:Ifthecircuitundertestislive

andhasavoltagepotential(AC/DC)

over30V,themeterwillnottest(the

displaywillshowthe“>”iconand

thesymbolwillflash;thebuzzer

willalsosound).Ifthecircuitunder

testisnotliveorifitsvoltageisless

than30V,themeterwillbegin

applyinghigh‐voltagetothecircuit

undertest.

4. Theprimarydisplaywillshowthe

insulationresistanceinMΩ

(megaohms)orGΩ(gigaohms).

5. Thetestvoltage(VDC)valuewillbe

indicatedintheright‐mostauxiliary

display,thesymbolwillflashandthecautionbuzzerwillsound.

6. PresstoreleasetheTESTbuttontostopthetest.Thehighvoltagewillswitchoffandthe

resistancevalueindicatedintheprimarydisplaywillhold.

7. Subsequently,themeterwillinternallydischargethebalanceoftheinsulationtestvoltage.

Note:Turningthefunctionswitchtoanothertestpositionwillabortthetest.

8. Areadingof>5.50GΩindicatesthatthemeterreadingisabovetheresistancethresholdof

thatmeasurementrange.

CAUTION

Beforetakingmeasurementsdisconnecttheunitundertestfromallpowersourcesandisolateit

fromanystrayresistance.

Donotshortcircuitthetestleadswhenvoltageisoutputfromthemeter.

Allowsufficienttimebetweentestsfordevicesundertesttostabilize.

Whenredandblackclipsareconnectedtothecircuitundertest,highvoltageisoutputfromthe

LINEjackandcurrentfromtheEARTHjack.

Atthecompletionofatest,donottouchanypartsofthecircuitundertest.Componentsmayhave

becomechargedduringthetestandcoulddischargewhentouched.
