10. Maintenance

■ Storage Conditions

• Temperature and humidity:-10°C to 60°C at 70% RH or less

• Remove the batteries before storing the tester.

• Avoid storing the tester in a location where there is:

  moisture; exposure to direct sunlight;
  a high-temperature heat source nearby;
  exposure to severe mechanical vibrations;
  a large amount of dust and/or salt, or a corrosive gas.

■ Removal of Dirt

Do not use volatile solvents (such as paint thinners or benzine) as they are likely to cause discoloration. 
Wipe off dirt with a cloth dampened water or alcohol.

■ Calibration Cycle

It is recommended that the tester be calibrated once every year for correct operation;  
ask Yokogawa to do the periodic calibration for you.

■ Locking the MEAS Key (for Continuous Measurement)

The MEAS key, when pulled up to the right, can be locked to ensure the key remains turned on. 

Use this mechanism when making continuous measurement over a prolonged period. 

Note, however, that leaving the key turned on for an unreasonably long time will accelerate  
the discharge of the batteries.

■ Battery Life (reference only)

For MY10-03 at rated 500 V/100 MΩ: 

Approximately 10 hours when in continuously operation with central indication  

(approx. 2 MΩ; with standard supplied batteries).

Note

 

The data above is typical. Nevertheless, the battery life varies depending on the operating conditions. 
Check the batteries before measurement.

6.  Measuring AC Voltages

WARNING

 

• Do not press the MEAS key while measuring AC voltages. Otherwise, it may result in a failure.

• Voltage that exceeds the specified limit must not be applied to terminals.

6.1 Connecting the Earth Probe

• Securely connect the earth probe to the measured object’s 

ground line  

(if the measured object is not grounded, this process may be omitted).

6.2 Connecting the Line Probe

• Bring the line probe into contact with the measured object.

 

The pointer indicates the AC voltage. 

Read the value on the voltage measurement scale ( 

 V).

 

If the voltage of 20 V AC or more is present between the earth and 

 

line terminals, the ALARM LED turns on.

Note

 

When measuring insulation resistance, the tester can also be used to verify that there is no voltage present  
at the measured object.

7.  Using Protection Cover and Shoulder Strap

The tester comes with a protection cover and shoulder strap as standard accessories.

• The protection cover can be used as a front cover 

(for the indicator window)  

or as a bottom cover.  
(It is set as the front cover when 

delivered from the factory.)

• Using the shoulder strap allows you to position the tester in front of 

 

your chest for ease of reading.  

Pass the strap through the shoulder strap guide and adjust the length of 

 

the strap to allow you a good view of the tester.

• Remove the cover from the front, and attach it to the bottom using 

 

the fixing hole (B) on the surface of the cover. 

 

This is useful when the scale is too close to your body to see clearly  

(See the figure on the right).

• A belt on the cover which is fitted with pieces of Velcro, 

 

can be used to store the probes  

(Remove the probes from the tester terminals when storing them).

8.  Battery Replacement

WARNING

 

• Remove the probes from the tester and then turn off the MEAS key before opening the casing to replace 

 

the batteries.

• Do not touch the MEAS key during replacement. Otherwise, a high voltage may be produced.

CAUTION

 

• Do not mix batteries of different types or new batteries with used ones.

• Always remove the batteries if the tester will not be used for a prolonged period of time. 

  If you store the tester with the batteries left installed, fluid is likely to leak from them, resulting in 

 

a malfunctioning of the instrument.

<Procedure>

1. Loosen the battery cover setscrew, and then slide the cover off of the main unit.

2. Replace all of the 4 batteries at the same time and make sure the polarities of 

 

the new batteries are exactly as shown on the battery holder.

3. After replacing the batteries, attach the battery cover and tighten the setscrew.
