6−5 Using Guard Terminal (only for MODEL3321A)

Shown  below  is  an  example  of  the  insulation  resistance
measurement  of  an  electric  wire.  If  Line  probe  is  simply
connected to the wire conductor and Earth probe to the woven
metal shield as shown, a measurement error will be introduced
as this results in the measurement of the combined resistance
of  insulation  resistance  and  the  surface  leakage  resistance  at
the cut end of the electric wire. In order to remove this surface
leakage  current,  wind  a  guard  wire  around  the  cut  end  of  the
conductor and connect it to the guard terminal of the instrument
using  Guard  Connection  lead.  Then,  the  surface  leakage
current will bypass the meter of the instrument.

6−6 Backlight function

To facilitate working in dimly lit situations, a backlight function is
provided  which  illuminates  the  scale  plate.  Press  the  backlight
switch  to  operate  this  function.  The  backlight  will  light  up  for
about 60 sec., and then turned off automatically.
