Measurement

Measurement of insulation resistance

• Before measurement, be sure to connect first, connecting red test lead to LINE, connecting black test lead to EARTH, holding tested object with clip, then start measuring after ensure safety; as shown below;
• Turn the knob to the insulation resistance gear, with the corresponding gear value displaying on the upper right corner of the screen, and “___” or the last measured resistance value is displayed below, press TEST button and turn clockwise to lock, start with high voltage starts, and tart to measure the resistance of tested object.
• After measurement starts, the voltage value is displayed on the upper right corner of LCD, measured time on the upper left corner, and resistance value of the measured object is displayed on the lower part. At the same time, warning icon appears, red alarm light is on, and the buzzer let out “didi” sound to remind users to pay attention to safety and prevent electric shock danger;)
• Press HOLD button once to lock the reading with HOLD icon displayed at the same time. Press HOLD button again for unlocking, and HOLD icon is no longer displayed; long press HOLD button to turn beep sound on or off;
• After measuring resistance value, turn TEST button counterclockwise and release it. The high voltage is off, with the measurement and timing stopping; the gear value will be displayed on the upper right corner, and the resistance reading will be locked;
• After measurement is completed, twist the knob to OFF to turn off the meter;
• Before starting the measurement, press PI / DAR button to switch polarization index / absorption ratio measurement function, as following steps.

Note: This instrument is equipped with a 10MΩ precision resistor for self- test. Connect test lead to LINE and V holes, and twist the knob to any range of the insulation measurements. Press “TEST” button, and the screen will display 10.0MΩ, as shown below:

Small resistance measurement（0~999Ω）：

• Before measurement, connect wires first, with red wire to EARTH, and black wire to GND; holding tested object with clip, then start measuring after ensure safety; as shown below;
•  Turn the knob to the small resistance position. The upper-right corner of the screen displays gear voltage 5.0V, and the lower part displays “—” or small resistance value measured last time;
•  Press TEST button and turn it clockwise to start small resistance measurement. The upper right corner of the screen displays voltage value across the measured object, that is, the voltage value
• tween the two red and black test leads, and the measured small resistance value is displayed below;
•  When the measured resistance is less than 20Ω, a buzzer lets out beeping;
•  Turn TEST button counterclockwise and release it to stop measurement. The upper-right corner will restore and display voltage of 5.0V, and measurement resistance reading is locked;
•  After measurement is completed, twist the knob to OFF to turn off the meter;

Voltage measurement：

• Before measurement starts, connect the wires first, with red wire to V, and black wire to GND; as shown below;
•  Turn the knob to voltage gear. At this time, the upper right corner of the screen displays the highest voltage that the instrument can measure, and the lower part displays voltage value measured in real time;
•  When AC power is measured, AC icon appears, and when DC power is measured, DC icon appears. If potential of red test pen is lower than that of black test pen, negative reading is displayed, otherwise positive reading is displayed;
•  after the measurement is completed, twist the knob to OFF to turn off the meter;

 Other items

Attentions

Note:

1.  During measurement above, when the voltage between red and black test leads is high, a warning icon will be displayed to warn operator that there is high voltage, pay attention to safety and prevent the danger of electric shock;
2.  During measurement, press HOLD once to lock the reading, but the measurement is still going on, with reading not updated; do not take the reading as safe even if it is small. You still need to prevent the danger of high voltage electric shock;
3.  When measuring insulation resistance or small resistance, before measurement starts, if a warning icon appears on the screen, it indicates that the measured object may be charged. Pressing TEST button at this time will not start measurement; you must discharge the power first.
4.  When measuring small resistance, after measurement starts, if the measured object is charged and the voltage between the red and black test leads is greater than 5.4V, the measurement will stop automatically;
5.  When switching gear knob, the last ongoing measurement will stop and the high voltage will be off at the same time;
6.  When red and black wires have been inserted into EARTH and GND, it is strictly forbidden to insert two test leads into high voltage, otherwise the instrument will be burnt out, and even cause electric shock, fire, explosion and other accidents that endanger personal safety;
7.  When measuring insulation resistance, after measurement starts, the measurement will be automatically stopped when resistance value is less than 1MΩ for 20 seconds, or the resistance value is 0 for 5 seconds.
8.  If “ ” icon appears on LCD, it means that batteries are low and need to be replaced. You can also remove batteries and connect them to DC 9V power adapter.
