Operation

Note: Ensure that the circuit under test does not include devices or components that can

be damaged by 5000VDC; such devices include power factor correction capacitors, low

voltage mineral insulated cables, electronic light dimmers, ballasts and starters for

fluorescent lamps.

Connecting the Test Leads to the meter

The Black (Earth) and Red (Line) test leads connect to the meter in the lead compartment

located on the back of the meter (the meter jacks are color coded). NOTE: The Green

(Guard) lead is typically not used. Do not connect this test lead to the meter unless

absolutely certain it is going to be used. For more information, continue reading this

Operation section and the Applications section to follow.

Connecting the Test Leads to the device under test

The Black (Earth) lead is connected to the conductive material. The Red (Line) lead is

connected to the insulating material. The Green (Guard) lead is at the same potential as

the negative terminal (0V) and, when required, is used to prevent erroneous readings by

removing parallel leakage paths from the measurement.

Insulation Resistance Measurements

1. Connect the test leads to the meter and the device under test.

2. Press the ON / TEST button to turn the unit on. The

unit will display the turn-on screens and then stop at

the “Select Test” display.

3. Select the desired test voltage by pressing the 500V,

1KV, 2.5KV, or 5KV button. The screen will briefly

display the selected test voltage and then will proceed

to the “Connect Leads Testing for LIVE” display. If the

circuit is “live” the display will indicate “Live Warning… Circuit Live” and the meter will

beep. If this occurs, remove the test leads and press the ON / TEST button.

4. Press the ON / TEST button to apply the voltage and begin the test. The meter will

beep every 2 seconds which indicated high voltage is on the test leads and the meter

will intermittently buzz while the high voltage is being generated.

5. On the display, elapsed test time appears on the

upper right, the resistance reading appears on the

upper left, the selected voltage is shown on the lower

right and the bar graph indicates the actual voltage

present on the test leads.

6. At the completion of the test the meter will discharge

the device under test and the display “HOLD”. Do not

remove the test leads until the bargraph disappears

(complete discharge) and “HOLD” appears in the display.

7. The meter automatically discharges the system at the end of the test. The test ends

when one of the following occurs.

a. After approximately 10 seconds in the EnersaveTM mode.

b. After approximately 100 seconds in the continuous mode.

c. When the red ON / TEST button is pressed.

The EnersaveTM Mode

EnersaveTM conserves battery life by reducing the test time from 100 seconds to approx.

10 seconds. EnersaveTM is the default mode of operation. To disable EnersaveTM press

and hold the ON / TEST button for three seconds to begin a test.

Bargraph Voltage Display

The bargraph represents the voltage present on the test leads as it charges, soaks, and

discharges. The bargraph appears on the lower portion of the display during tests.

Automatic Low Resistance Detect

If the display shows the message “LOW MΩ”, the test should be interrupted immediately

by pressing the ON / TEST button. This message indicates that the insulation under test

has broken down and the meter is trying to inject a high potential onto a short circuit.

Elapsed Timer

The test duration is indicated on the display. This is particularly useful in determining

whether an insulating material under test will break down in a given amount of time.

Manual Test STOP

To stop a test in progress, press the ON / TEST button. The test will immediately end and

the system will automatically discharge.

Automatic Test STOP

The test automatically stops after 100 seconds if the meter is not in the EnersaveTM mode.

When in the EnersaveTM mode, the test automatically stops after approx. 10 seconds.

Live Circuit Warning

If the test leads are connected to a live circuit when testing, a warning beeper will sound

and the meter will display “Live Warning…Circuit Live…”. In this case, correct the problem

and retest.

Automatic Discharge

At the end of a test, the meter automatically discharges the high voltage. The automatic

discharge status is reflected on the display. During discharge the beeper will sound and,

when completely discharged, the HOLD icon appears on the display.

Auto OFF

The meter will automatically turn off after approximately 30 minutes of operation.

Applications

Measuring Power Tools and Small Appliances

For small appliances, connect the Black (EARTH) lead to conductors and the Red (LINE)

lead to insulating material.

For single or double insulated power tools, one lead should be connected to the device’s

chuck, blade, etc. and the other lead to one of the AC power cord conductors (test both

conductors in turn). Refer to the power tool application diagram below.

Testing Motors

AC Motors

Disconnect the motor from the line by:

a. Disconnecting the wires from the

motor terminals or

b. Opening the main switch

If the main switch is opened, and the

motor also has a motor-starter, then

the starter must be held in the ON position. With the main switch opened, the measured

resistance will include the resistance of the motor wire and all other components between

the motor and the main switch. If a weakness is indicated, the motor and other

components should be checked individually. If the motor is disconnected at the motor

terminals, connect the RED lead to the grounded motor housing and the BLACK lead to

one of the motor leads.

DC Motors

1. Disconnect the motor from the line.

2. To test the brush rigging, field coils and armature, connect the RED lead to the

grounded motor housing and the BLACK lead to the brush on the commutator.

3. If the resistance measurement indicates a weakness, raise the brushes off of the

commutator and separately test the armature, field coils and brush rigging by

connecting one lead to each individually, leaving the other connected to the grounded

motor housing. This also applies to DC Generators.

Testing Single Conductor Cables

1. Completely disconnect the cable

under test from its source and

destination.

2. Connect the test leads to the

cable as shown at right.

Testing Multi Conductor Cables

1. Completely disconnect the

cable under test from its

source and destination.

2. Refer to the diagrams at

right for three possible

tests.

Transformer Testing

Transformer tests are performed with the transformer completely disconnected from the

line and the load. Note that the case ground should not be removed.

The five tests listed below will completely test a single-phase transformer. Note that at

least 1 minute should be allowed between each test.

1. High voltage winding to low voltage winding and ground

2. Low voltage winding to high voltage winding and ground

3. High voltage winding to low voltage winding (pictured below)

4. High voltage winding to ground

5. Low voltage winding to ground
