Hands Free
Hands Free Insulation Testing.
To enable the hands free feature simply press the ‘HANDS FREE’ button once. The ‘HANDS
FREE’ annunciator will appear flashing on the display, press the test button to start testing. The
‘HANDS FREE’ annunciator will continue to flash until cancelled by a further press of the ‘HANDS
FREE’ button or by changing the function selector switch.
When the ‘HANDS FREE’ annunciator is flashing a single press of the ‘HANDS FREE’ button will
toggle continuous testing on and off.
Once started a steady beeping tone will be emitted to indicate that measurement is being taken.
After a second or two the test result will be displayed in the primary display area and an audible
tone will indicate either by a single beep that the result is a value above 2MΩ or by a short
2 tone alarm that the result is a value under 2MΩ. The secondary display area will show the
terminal voltage being applied.
The tester will continue to take the measurement and any further change to the resistance of
the circuit will be indicated by an audible tone as described above and a change of result on the
display.
Whilst testing in hands free mode the red warning LED will flash to warn of the voltage between
the prod tips/crocodile clips.
A further single press of the test button will suspend measurement.
