Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Extech’s High Voltage Megohmmeter. This meter is

geared toward high voltage insulation testing applications such as appliance testing. In

addition to Megohmmeter (Insulation Resistance) measurements, low resistance and AC

Voltage can be measured. This professional meter, with proper care, will provide years of

safe reliable service.

Safety

1. Circuits under test must be de-energized and isolated before connections are made

(except for voltage measurements).

2. Circuit connections must not be touched during a test. Use extreme caution when

working near bare conductors and bus bars. Accidental contact with conductor could

result in electrical shock.

3. Use caution when working near voltages above 60VDC or 30VACrms.

4. After insulation tests, capacitors must be discharged.

5. Test leads (including alligator clips) must be in good working order, clean and without

broken or cracked insulation.

6. When servicing, use only specified replacement parts.

Operation

CAUTIONS

Observe all safety precautions when the FUNCTION switch is set to either the 100MΩ

(500V) or the 400MΩ(1000V) position.

Connect the meter test leads to the circuit under test before operating the TEST switch.

Do not touch the clip ends of the test leads when the TEST switch is pressed.

Some electrical equipment, especially cables, may retain an electrical charge when

disconnected from the line. It is good practice to discharge such equipment with

grounding straps, or other suitable devices, before touching or making connections.

The meter automatically discharges the test circuits when the spring loaded TEST

switch is released.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Remove all power to the circuit under test when making resistance measurements. If

any voltage is present in the test circuit the red on the meter scale plate will light.

Immediately disconnect test leads and turn off power to test circuit.

Function switch

The FUNCTION switch is a five position rotary switch and is used to select the desired

range or function.

Test switch

The TEST switch is normally OFF. It is a spring loaded, momentary action for safety. The

test voltage generated by the meter is automatically discharged when the TEST switch is

released.

Connecting Test Leads

For all functions connect the red test lead to the LINE terminal and the black lead to the

EARTH terminal.

Test Lead Check

Set the rotary switch to the low resistance position (Ω). Connect the leads to the meter and

short the clip ends of the test leads and read the green resistance scale on the display.

Depress the TEST switch and the resistance should read between 0 and 0.5 Ω. The

display should read maximum range with the leads open (not shorted). If any readings are

obtained other than the readings just described, the test leads should be considered faulty

and must be replaced before using the meter. Failure to do so could result in damage to

equipment and electrical shock.

Live Circuit Status LED

If the Live Circuit status LED is lit, voltage is present on the device under test. DO NOT

proceed to test with voltage present. Shock to the user and damage to the meter or device

under test can result if testing is done with voltage present. Proceed with testing only when

the voltage is removed from the device under test.

Power Test Status LED

When the meter is actively testing, the Power Test status LED will blink. When this status

LED is flashing DO NOT touch the test leads or any exposed parts in the testing area.

Hazardous voltages exist that can cause shock. If the Power Test LED fails to light, the

batteries must be replaced. Refer to the Maintenance section near the end of this manual.

Mechanical zero adjust

The pointer should indicate zero on the green 50Ωscale when the FUNCTION switch is in

the Ωposition, when the test leads are shorted together, and when the TEST switch is

depressed. If the pointer does not indicate zero, adjust the white plastic mechanical zero

screw located on the lens cover.

Model 380353 V1.4 02/05

Megohm Measurements

1. Disconnect all power from the circuit to be tested.

2. Set the FUNCTION switch to the desired test range

3. Connect the alligator clips to the circuit to be tested

CAUTION: If the LIVE CIRCUIT indicator lights up at this point, DO NOT operate the test

button. Remove the alligator clips and disconnect all power from the circuit.

4. Press and hold the PRESS TO TEST button to make the measurement. Turn the

button ¼ turn to the right to lock the test on.

5. Read the value on the MΩscale and apply the range multiplier to determine the

Megohm resistance reading.

6. Release the PRESS TO TEST button and allow the device to discharge before

removing the alligator clips.

Low Resistance (Continuity) Measurements

WARNING: Do not run this test unless the voltage on the device under test is zero. If the

Live Circuit status LED lights when a test is initiated, immediately abort the test and check

that the circuit under test is not powered.

1. Set the Function select switch to the Resistance (Ω) position.

2. Connect the red test lead to the LINE input and the black lead to the EARTH input.

3. Perform a zero adjustment using the zero adjust screw on the display as described

above.

4. Connect the test lead tips to the circuit under test and read the resistance on the

green display scale. The maximum resistance is 50Ω.

The main application for low resistance tests is the identification of low Ωcircuits such as

motor runs and start windings which may differ by only a few ohms. With a mid-scale

reading of 2Ω, this test mode can also be used to check relay contact resistance.

AC Voltage Measurements

1. Set the Function select switch to the red ACV 600V position.

2. Connect the red test lead to the LINE input and the black test lead to EARTH.

3. Connect the test lead tips to the circuit under test.

4. Read the voltage value on the red display scale.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

If the red Power Test status LED no longer lights when a test is initiated, the eight 1.5 V AA

batteries must be replaced.

1. Ensure that the meter is not in the test mode and that the test leads aren't connected.

2. Remove the Phillips head screw on the rear battery compartment cover.

3. Remove the battery compartment cover.

4. Replace the eight AA batteries ensuring proper polarity.

5. Affix the rear cover and secure the rear screw.

Fuse Replacements

To test for an open fuse first assure that the batteries are not defective and then proceed

as follows:

1. Connect the test leads to the meter and short the clip ends of the test leads.

2. Set the function switch to the ohms position and press the TEST button.

3. If the fuse is open (blown), the pointer will indicate an open circuit (max resistance).

4. To locate the fuse, open the rear battery/fuse compartment via the Phillips head screw

located at the center of the meter case.

5. Replace the fuse (250V, 1A fast blow) located in the battery/fuse compartment just

above and to the right of the batteries. Secure the battery/fuse cover.

Cleaning

Periodically wipe the case with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Do not allow

water to seep into the meter case.
