Insulation Testing
1.
Turn the instrument ‘On‘ by selecting the M
Ω
range.
2.
Connect the test probes to the isolated circuit under test.
3.
Press and hold the push button; the display shows the insulation value.The
reading will remain displayed for a few seconds after the push button is
released. As an additional safety feature, instruments with 1000V range will
flash
symbol before performing a test.
4.
Release the push button before removing the test leads (to enable the
instrument to discharge the circuit under test).
5.
On completion switch to the ‘OFF’ position. Alternatively auto shut off
operates after 12 minutes of inactivity.

Auto Shut off:
Operates after 5 minutes of inactivity by the
instrument in Continuity position and 12 minutes in Insulation position. Beep
notes pre-empt auto shut off. The instrument can be switched back on by
pressing the test button, or by selecting ‘OFF‘ and then the required position.
