2. Features
Model 6017/6018 (KEW-MEG-EARTH) are a versatile tester designed for
insulation and earth resistance measurements on low voltage installations, wiring
systems and electric appliances rated at up to 600V. It also has AC and earth
voltage measurement capabilities.
¡ Five major functions in one unit
Insulation resistance: M-6017;125V/ 250V/ 500V, M-6018;250V/500V/1000V
Earth resistance: 12/120/1200Ω
Earth resistance simplified measurement: 12/120/1200Ω
AC voltage: 600VAC
Earth voltage: 60VAC
¡ When 1000V range of insulation resistance tester is set, the high voltage
warning is made by the buzzer beeping ( intermittent tone). (Model-6018 only)
¡ After insulation testing, automatically releases electric charges stored in the
capacitance of the circuit under test. Discharging can be checked by the meter
indication.
¡ Scale illumination to facilitate working at dimly lit situations.
¡ Easy-to-read meter scales coded in color matching the position of the function
selector switch.
¡ On insulation resistance, earth resistance, earth voltage or BATT CHECK
ranges "power-on" indication LED illuminates in red to warn the user of voltage
output. On earth resistance ranges, "OK" lamp lights up in green when the
instrument is ready for accurate earth resistance measurement.
¡ Test leads furnished with a remote control switch and exchangeable probe tip.
One pair of test probes can be used both in insulation resistance testing and in
simplified earth resistance testing, facilitating field work.
¡ Sliding shutter to avoid incorrect use of terminals for improved safety.
¡ Case made of shock resistant elastomer.
¡ Optional cord reels and auxiliary earth bars enable precision earth resistance
measurement.
¡ Neck strap permits two hand operation for easy and safety field work.
