Device Reset Function

If the test instrument does not function as described in these 
instructions, we recommend a device reset. The test instrument 
must be switched off and neither of the test probes may be con-
nected to a DUT. If device functions are still incorrect after switch-
ing the instrument back on again, remove the batteries as 
described in section 5.1 on page 7, wait at least 10 seconds and 
then reinsert the batteries (or replace them with new ones).
If the test instrument still does not function as described, remove 
the batteries and contact our service department.

Measuring Functions

Insulation Resistance

Nominal Range per EN 61557-2: 0.100 M

 – Rmax* 

* The Rmax value depends on the selected test voltage:

Nominal voltage of 50 to 99 V

Rmax = 1.999 G

 

Nominal voltage of 100 to 249 V

Rmax = 3.999 G

Nominal voltage of 250 to 1000 V

Rmax = 9.999 G

called milliampere point

Direct and Alternating Voltage (frequency range: 45 to 65 Hz)

Key

a) The TRMS value for alternating voltage is measured.
b) rdg. means reading, i.e. measured value. 

d = digits (i.e. number of the decimal place with the least significance)

Device Power Supply

Caution: Dangerous Voltage!
Dangerous voltage in battery compartment! 

Disconnect the test probes from the device under test and 
switch the instrument off before removing the battery com-
partment lid. 
The instrument may not be placed into service if the battery 
compartment lid has not been inserted and secured with 
the screws.

Either alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiCD/NiMH batteries may 
be used to supply the instrument with electrical power (4 each, 
size: AAA, type: LR03).
The battery charge level is continuously displayed (see section 3.2 
on page 4). 
If too little voltage is indicated, replace the batteries.

Note

We recommend removing the batteries during lengthy 
periods of non-use (e.g. vacation). This prevents exces-
sive battery depletion or leakage, which may result in 
damage to the instrument under unfavorable conditions.

5.1.1

Inserting and Replacing the Batteries

Loosen the two screws for the battery compartment lid at the 
back of the instrument and remove the lid. Insert the batteries 
with correct polarity (refer to the embossed symbols at the bot-
tom of the battery compartment).
Always replace all four batteries at once, and use high quality bat-
teries. Replace the battery compartment lid and retighten the 
screws.
