Operating

Charging and On/Off

Charging

Note: After using the tester for the first time or not using the tester for a long time, the tester may fail to start up because of low battery. Please charge the tester for a period before trying to start up.

Please charge as below methods:
Plug one end of the power adapter into the DC IN charging jack of the tester and connect the other end to the AC power outlet. If the charging indicator on the tester lights up in red, it indicates charging, the indicator lights up in green after fully charging.

Turn On/Off

In the shutdown state, long press the Power button on the tester until the TEST button is lit, the tester will be initialized and powered on, and the system will have a buzzer prompt.
To shut down, long press the Power button on the tester for 3 seconds until the screen is off.
The tester will automatically shut down when it is not operated for more than 15 minutes in the resistance measurement mode. If the tester is in the voltage measurement mode, it needs to be shut down manually.

Note: To ensure safety, the tester will automatically shut down when charging.

Measurement

Preparation before measurement:

1. Press the Power button to start up. The insulation resistance continuous measurement mode is preset when startup, and the output voltage is 500V.
2. Please make sure that the tester is fully charged (if the battery icon is blank, it needs to be charged before testing).

AC/ DC voltage measurement

1. The insulation resistance continuous measurement mode is by default while startup. Press the MODE button to switch to the DC voltage measurement mode, and press the MODE button again to enter the AC voltage measurement mode.
   
   

2. Insert the red test clip into the LINE port on the tester and the green test clip into the Earth port on the tester.

3. Connect the red and green alligator clips to the circuit to be tested. When measuring DC voltage, if the red test clip is negative voltage, the negative pole symbol “-” will be displayed on the screen.
   

Note:

• Do not input a voltage higher than 600V or 600Vrms. Measuring higher voltages risks may damage the tester.
• Special attention should be paid to avoid electric shock when measuring high voltages.
• After completing all measurement, disconnect the test clip from the circuit to be tested and remove the test clip from the tester input.
• If the voltage measurement exceeds the maximum range, the buzzer will sound.

Insulation Resistance Measurement

Note: The continuous measurement mode is by default for insulation resistance measurement during startup.

1. Before measuring insulation resistance, the circuit to be measured must be completely discharged and isolated from the power circuit.

2. Insert the red test clip into the LINE port, the black test clip into the GUARD port, and the green test clip into the EARTH port.

3. Connect the red and green alligator clips to the measured object and output the voltage from the LINE port.
   

4. Select the following insulation resistance measurement mode.

   • After the system is powered on, the system enters the insulation resistance continuous measurement mode by default. Press to select the output voltage and press TEST for 1 second to start measurement. At the same time,the buzzer will sound. The measured insulation resistance value will be displayed on the screen.

   • Press the TIME button to select the fixed-time measurement mode. Fixed-time measurement prompt and timing symbols will be displayed on the screen. Press the  buttons to adjust the output voltage and press the buttons to set the timing duration (setting range from 00:10 to 15:00). Press the TEST button for 1 second to start the fixed-time measurement.

   • The timer area of the screen starts to display a countdown.
     The system will automatically end the measurement at the set time.

   • Press the COMP button to enter the insulation resistance comparative measurement mode, and the comparative measurement prompt will appear on the screen. Press the  buttons to select an output voltage and press the  buttons to set the comparative resistance (setting range:

   • 10MΩ ~ 900GΩ). Press the TEST button for 1 second to start the measurement. If the insulation resistance measurement value is smaller than the resistance comparative value, the “FAIL” prompt will be displayed in the lower left corner of the screen; otherwise, the “PASS” prompt will be displayed.

Note:

• Before the test, ensure that the circuit to be measured is not electrified. Do not measure the insulation of electrified equipment or circuit.

• The tester has dangerous voltage output. Please be careful while operating.
  Never press the TEST button to output the high voltage before ensuring that the tested circuit is firmly clamped and the hand is off the test clamp.

• Do not short circuit two test clips or measure the insulation resistance under the high voltage output. This operation is easy to spark and cause fire, and damage the tester.

• If the resistance measurement exceeds the maximum range, the buzzer will sound.

Single-point calibration of onboard resistance

After using the tester for a period, it is recommended to calibrate the onboard resistance. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Connect the test clip to the resistance calibration terminal on the tester as shown below.
   

2. Under the startup state, long press the COMP button to enter the calibration state of 200MΩ resistance. The screen will display the character of CAL and the resistance value of 200MΩ.
   

3. Long press the TEST button to start the measurement, and then press the TEST button to finish the measurement when the value is stable.

4. Long press the COMP button for 5 seconds to exit the calibration, then the calibration is complete.

Note: It is unavailable to switch to other measurement modes under the calibration mode. You need to exit the calibration mode before other measurements.

Maintenance

• Please use clean water wet soft cloth or sponge (without clear water residue) to wipe the surface of the casing.
• Do not immerse the tester in water to avoid damaging it.
• When the tester is wet, please dry it before storage.
• When it is necessary to calibrate or repair the tester, please submit the tester to professional maintenance personnel or designated maintenance department.
