9.3.1.3 Polarization Index Measurement

Polarization Index (PI) refers to the value of measured resistance in 10 minutes to 

that in 1 minute. It takes 10 minutes to perform polarization index testing. If the time 

of insulation testing is 10 minutes or more, polarization index testing is completed 

and saved.

Press “TIME” button under insulation resistance testing condition without high voltage 

output. When the LCD shows PI, it indicates the tester enters polarization index 

measurement mode.

Then, the LCD shows PI, Time1, Time2, timer symbol, etc. In initial interface, the 

default time of Times is 1 minute, that is 01:00 (the mantissa flashes to indicate 

user can set the parameter). The default time of Time2 is 10 minutes, that is 10:00. 

After completing setting Time1, the tester by default switches to setting state of 

Time2. Press “ENTER” to confirm and save the change, or press “ESC” to cancel 

the change.

Press “TEST” to perform test, the LCD shows basic elements including battery power, 

high-voltage warning symbol, leakage current, real-time output voltage, measured 

insulation resistance (Time1 or Time2), testing value of analog bar graph, Time1 or 

Time2, set countdown time, PI, storage capacity, etc.

When the set time is up, the test ends automatically, the testing indicator light turns 

off, the tester discharges fast, and the LCD shows the testing value. Press       and   

      to cyclically display PI, insulation resistance in Time2, and insulation resistance 

in Time1.

9.3.1.4 Dielectric Absorption Ratio Measurement

Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) refers to the value of insulation resistance in 

1 minute to that in 15 seconds. It takes 1 minute to perform absorption ratio testing. 

The measurement data of all insulation testing in less than 1 minute are deemed 

invalid. If the time of insulation testing is 1 minute or more, the absorption ratio 

testing is included in the result.

measurement mode.

Then, the LCD shows DAR, Time1, Time2, timer symbol, etc. In initial interface, 

the default time of Time1 is 15 seconds that is 00:15 (the mantissa flashes to 

indicate user can set the parameter). The default time of Time2 is 1 minute that 

is 01:00. After completing setting Time1, the tester by default switches to the 

setting state of Time2. Press “ENTER” to confirm and save the change, or press 

“ESC” to cancel the change.

Press “TEST” to perform test, the LCD shows basic elements including battery 

power, high-voltage warning symbol, leakage current, real-time output voltage, 

measured insulation resistance (Time1 or Time2), testing value of analog bar 

graph, Time1 or Time2, set countdown time, DAR, storage capacity, etc.

When the set time is up, the test ends automatically, the testing indicator light 

turns off, the tester discharges fast, and the LCD shows the testing value. 

Press      and      to cyclically display DAR, insulation resistance in Time2, and 

insulation resistance in Time1.
