2. Check the maximum voltage that may be applied to the circuit under test. Set
the function selector switch to an appropriate insulation resistance range.
3. Connect the earth probe (alligator clip on black lead) to the earth terminal of the
circuit under test. If the circuit is not earthed, connect the earth probe to an
appropriate conductor.
4. Connect the line probe to the circuit under test and press the test button or the
remote control switch.
5. Take the reading on the scale for selected insulation resistance range.
6. Release the test button or the remote control switch. Leave the earth lead and
the line probe connected to the circuit under test. This will allow the Auto-
discharge function to dissipate charges built up by the circuit during insulation
measurement. Discharging can be checked by the AC voltage reading.
DANGER
¡ To avoid possible electric shock hazard, never touch the circuit under test
until charges stored in the circuit are completely discharged.
¡ Leave the earth and line probes connected to the circuit under test until
the meter pointer returns to the left end of the scale. Never touch the
circuit before discharging completes.
7. Set the range selector switch to the OFF position.
Caution: The circuit breaker for
the circuit under test
must be turned OFF.
