Using the Clock/Timer 

The clock/timer function may be used in three ways. First, a clock and 

calendar indicate the current time (12-hour format). Second, a timer may 

be used when performing insulation resistance tests that are dependent 

upon  an  accurate  time  reading  (e.g.  dielectric  absorption,  polarization 

index, step voltage). Third, the timer portion may be programmed as an 

ascending  timer  in  relation  to  applied  test  voltage  or  in  relation  to  the 

discharge time. 

Note:

 Setting both the clock and timer requires the user to engage the 

push-to-test  button  to  access  different  modes.  Potentially  dangerous 

voltage may be present. Select a position on the voltage selector switch 

between  voltage  ranges  (e.g.  vertical  position  between  1000V  and 

2500V).  This  eliminates  the  possibility  of  voltage  on  the  output  while 

programming the clock/timer. 

Setting the Clock/Calendar 

To  program  the  clock,  hold  the 

CLOCK/TIMER  button  down 

continuously  for  approximately  4 

sec. The “seconds” portion of the 

display  will  begin  to  blink.  Reset 

to :00 with the RESET button. 

Figure 6 

Push and hold or lock (clockwise turn) the PUSH-TO-TEST button. The 

“minutes”  portion  of  the  display  will  begin  to  blink  00:XX:00.  Press  the 

RESET button to select minutes (00-59). 
To access the hour portion of the display, release the PUSH-TO-TEST 

button. Input the current hour using the RESET button. Hour inputs are 

programmed using a 12-hour format. 
Push  and  hold  the  PUSH-TO-TEST  button  for  a  second  time.  The 

display  switches  from  clock  format  to  calendar  (DD:MM).  Input  the 

current day (1-31) with the RESET button. Release the PUSH-TO-TEST 

to activate the “month” portion of the calendar (1-12). Input the current 

month using the RESET key. 
Pressing  the  PUSH-TO-TEST  button  a  final  time  causes  the  day 

segment  indicator  to  blink  (top  of  display).  The  format  has  seven 

segments  indicating  days  of  the  week.  Select  the  proper  day 

representation with the RESET key.  
Validate the choices by pressing the CLOCK/TIMER button once.
