TESTING AN INSULATION TESTER

Connect the test instrument to the continuity and insulation connec-
tion sockets in the orange and red section of the test box. 

Warning

: Do not apply more than 1250 V d.c. 

5.1 

Voltage load test @ 250 V 

Set the continuity and insulation test select switch to [250 V] and per-
form an insulation test with the test instrument set to 250 V output.
If the test voltage is 250 V d.c. the [V] LED will be on. If the current 
delivered from the unit is greater than 1 mA the [I] LED will also be 
on, showing that the test criteria have been met. A fixed resistor of 
0.25 M

Ω

 +/-3% is used to provide the test reference. The test instru-

ment should indicate a measured value of 0.25 M

Ω

 (+/- operational 

errors including the test instrument’s accuracy).
If either of the LEDs fail to light the test instrument should be re-
turned for a full calibration.

 Record the reading on the record card. 

5.2 

Voltage load test @  500 V 

Set the continuity and insulation test select switch to [500 V] and per-
form an insulation test with the test instrument set to 500 V output.
If the test voltage is 500 V d.c. the [V] LED will be on. If the current 
delivered from the unit is greater than 1 mA the [I] LED will also be 
on, showing that the test criteria have been met. A fixed resistor 
of 0.5 M

Ω

 +/-3% is used to provide the test reference. The tester 

should indicate a measured value of 0.5 M

Ω

 (+/- operational errors 

including the test instrument’s accuracy).
If either of the LEDs fail to light the tester should be returned for a 
full calibration.

 Record the reading on the record card. 

5.3 

Voltage load test @ 1 kV 

Set the continuity and insulation test select switch to [1 kV] and per-
form an insulation test with the test instrument set to 1 kV output.
If the test voltage is 1 kV dc the [V] LED will be on. If the current de-
livered from the unit is greater than 1 mA the [I] LED will also be on, 
showing that the test criteria have been met. A fixed resistor of
