6. Operation
6-1 AC Voltage Warning Function
DANGER
● Never make measurements with the battery compartment cover
removed.
CAUTION
● Never press the test button if the live circuit warning lamp is lit or the
warning buzzer sounds. This may damage the circuit.
Voltage check can be made with the range selector switch at any position.
① The presence of AC voltage can be detected. This function operates
automatically when the test button is not depressed, i.e., in the up position.
NOTE:This tester has not been designed to indicate the presence of an
external DC voltage.
② Connect the earth clip of the test probe (black) to the EARTH and the line
probe (red) to the LINE side of the circuit under test.
③ Take the reading on the AC voltage scale.

6-2 Insulation Resistance Measurement
DANGER
● Always test the circuit or equipment to ensure it is surely de-energized
before measurement according to the instruction of 6-1.
● To avoid electrical shock, measurements must be performed on de-
energized circuits only.
● When the test button is pressed with the range selector switch in the
insulation position, take care not to touch the tip of the test probe and the
circuit under test where a high voltage is present in order to avoid possible
shock hazard.
● Never make measurement with the battery compartment cover
removed.
CAUTION
● Never press the test button if the live circuit warning LAMP is lit or the
warning buzzer sounds. This may damage the circuit.
Conduct the voltage warning check before measurement to ensure that the
circuit under test is de-energized.
① Check the voltage which can be applied to the circuit under test and set the
range selector switch to the desired nominal output voltage range.
② Connect the earth clip of the test probe (black) to the earth terminal of the
circuit under test.
③ Put the tip of the line probe (red) to the circuit under test.
