1. Overview

The UT516B is a digital high voltage insulation resistance tester with 6 ranges: 500V, 1000V, 2500V, 5000V, 
10000V and 12000V. Fine adjustment of voltage with 10% step at each range (except 12000V) is available. 
Test data can be saved in the tester memory and transferred to a PC via the dedicated USB cable, or be 
transferred to a PC in real time.

2. Features

    Designed to meet IEC61010-1, CAT IV 600V and Pollution Degree 2 safety standards   
    For insulation resistance test, max test voltage: 12kV, max test resistance: 10TΩ, max short-circuit 
    current: 5mA
    Automatic display of Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) and Polarization Index (PI)
    Large memory for saving up to 999 sets of test data  
    Dual power supply: Dedicated power adapter (DC15V, 1A) or 10 pcs 1.5V alkaline batteries (Lr14)   
    5.1-inch industrial display (320×240 pixels)
    Simultaneous display of insulation resistance and leakage current values in the test
    PC software for data analysis 
    Green light indication for POWER button and red light warning for TEST button
    Auto discharge function: When insulation resistance like a capacitive load is tested, electric charges 
    stored in capacitive circuits are automatically discharged after testing. Discharge progress can be displayed.
    Backlight Function: To facilitate working at dimly illuminated location or at nighttime
