1.1 Product Overview and Features
8
The instrument is an 8-channel, high-sensitivity ammeter for use in measuring insulation resistance. After
connecting the dedicated external power source to the voltage input terminal (A) and applying voltage to the
object under measurement from the voltage output terminals (OUTPUT), current is measured at the current
input terminals (INPUT). The resistance value is then calculated from the measured current values and the
set measurement voltage values.
The measurement block performs current/voltage conversion using charge measurement type current-voltage
converters (B) that integrate input current values and A/D converters (C). This method allows precise mea-
surement of minute currents by using long integration times.
Having been converted into digital data, measurement block output is sent to the control block (D) memory.
The control block (D) performs arithmetic processing on measurement data that has been input to its memory
and sends output to the instrument’s LCD screen and interfaces.
