User Guide

SAFETY WARNINGS

✱Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood

before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.

✱The circuit under test must be switched off, de - energized and

isolated before Insulation or Continuity tests are made.

✱Circuit connections must not be touched during a test.

✱The test button must not be pressed while connecting the test

leads or while changing ranges.

✱The ‘Test’ button must not be pressed when making a voltage test.

✱The Default Voltmeter, and Automatic discharge are additional

safety features and should not be regarded as a substitute for

normal safe working practice.

✱The 210170 is protected for connection to Power distribution

systems up to 300 V Line - Ground, and 500 V Line - Line for

Installation Category III*.

✱It is recommended that fused test leads are used when measuring

voltage on high energy systems.

✱After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to

discharge before disconnecting the test leads.

✱Test leads, prods and alligator clips must be in good order; clean,

and with no broken or cracked insulation.

✱Replacement fuses must be of the correct size, type and rating.

OPERATION

Default Voltage measurement

The 210170 will act as a default voltmeter (0 to 600 V a.c.) with any of the

Insulation test positions selected. The ‘Test’ push must not be pressed when

making a voltage test. Note:- The 210170 is internally fuse protected to 500

V. For fuse protection with supplies above 500 V, use Fuse Probe Kit FPK5.

1. Select any Insulation test position with the rotary selector switch.

2. Carefully connect the test leads to the circuit under test. Do not press the

‘Test’push.

3. Read the voltage measurement from the voltmeter scale.

4. Carefully disconnect the test leads.

Low Resistance measurement (Ω)

1. Select Ωwith the rotary selector switch.

2. Ensure that all test leads are clean and in good condition, and connect

them to the isolated circuit under test.

3. Any pointer deflection indicates a live circuit, and testing should be

aborted.

4. Press the ‘Test’ push, and keep it pressed while turning the generator

handle.

5. Read the measurement from the kΩscale.

6. Disconnect the test leads.

Insulation Testing (MΩ)

Automatic circuit discharge is effective when the test button is released, and

decaying voltage is indicated by the scale needle until the circuit is

discharged.

1. Select MΩwith the rotary selector switch.

2. Ensure that all test leads are clean and in good condition, and connect

them to the isolated circuit under test.

3. Any pointer deflection indicates a live circuit, and testing should be

aborted.

4. Press the ‘Test’ button, and keep it pressed while turning the generator

handle.

5. Read the measurement from the MΩscale.

6. Release the ‘Test’ push and monitor any scale needle movement to

confirm when any discharging voltage decays to zero.

7. When the circuit has discharged, disconnect the test leads.

Using the Guard Terminal

For basic insulation tests and where there is little possibility of surface

leakage affecting the measurement, it is unnecessary to use the guard

terminal.

In cable testing, there may be surface leakage paths across the insulation

between the bare cable and the external sheathing due to the presence of

moisture or dirt. Where it is required to remove the effect of this leakage,

particularly at high testing voltages, a bare wire may be bound tightly around

the insulation and connected via the third test lead to the guard terminal ‘G’.

The guard terminal is at the same potential as the negative terminal. Since the

leakage resistance is effectively in parallel with the resistance to be

measured, the use of the guard causes the current flowing through surface

leakage to be diverted from the measuring circuit. The instrument therefore

reads the leakage of the insulator, ignoring leakage across its surface.

To check these fuses, short all three test leads together and set the rotary

selector switch on any Insulation test position. Press the ‘Test’ push and keep

it pressed while turning the generator handle. The needle should register

approximately 2 MΩ. A zero reading indicates that the ‘G’ fuse has ruptured.

An Infinity reading indicates that the +ve fuse has ruptured.

Fuse Replacement: Held in a screw type holder located in the base of the

instrument. Use a flat blade screwdriver to release the center part of the

holder, and remove the ruptured fuse. Replace with fuse(s) of the correct type,

size and rating.
