5.2.2 Continuous measurement for a pre-selectable time :

In  normal  course,  the  insulation  test  terminates  when  the  test  key  is 
released  and  the  measured  insulation  resistance  value  remains  on 
display for few seconds after the test key is released. 

With the 

Pre-selectable measurement time 

feature, the 

insulation test continues for the pre-determined time.
Pre-selectable time : 10 sec-5 min
Refer  to  the  “11.  Menu  structure”  section  for  how  to  set  the  value  for 
pre-selectable  time.  Once  the  time  is  set  it  is  applicable  to  all  the  5 
ranges of Insulation measurement.

n

Select the required value of the time for which the test is 
carried out.

n

Briefly Press the TEST key. The insulation resistance test carries
on for the time interval selected.

n

The test terminates automatically after the selected time has
elapsed.

n

The display then flashes the value of measurement at
the end until the           Key is pressed.

5.3  Conclusion of measurement and discharging

After  the  measurement  has  been  completed,  any  residual  voltage  is 
displayed which may be caused by capacitive circuits. Contact with the 
device under test must be maintained. The reduction in voltage can be 
directly observed at the LCD.

Do not disconnect the device under test until voltage has dropped 
below 25 volts !!

Note : Automatic discharge !

The  capacitive  circuits  are  automatically  discharged  when 
TEST button is released following an insulation resistance test.
This auto discharge facility eliminates the need for the user to
discharge the circuit under test manually.
