Insulation Measurement procedure:
Select the
Insulation Resistance Measurement
function.
Set the test parameters (voltage, timer, high limit, averaging).
Connect the test leads to the instrument and to the test object.
Press the
START/STOP
key to start the measurement.
Press SELECT key to toggle between graph view and result view (optional).
Wait until the test result has stabilized then press the
START/STOP
key again
to stop the measurement or wait for the set timer to run out.
Wait for the object under test to discharge.
Store the result by pressing
MEM
key (optional).

Warnings:
Refer to Warnings chapter for safety precautions!
Do not touch the test object during the measurement or before it is fully
discharged! Risk of electric shock!
Notes:
Consider displayed warnings when starting the measurement!
A high-voltage warning symbol appears on the display during the measurement to
warn the operator of a potentially dangerous test voltage.
Value of capacitance is measured during the final discharge of the test object.
