Using the Features

Insulation Resistance Measurement Test Button (Yellow Button)
Press to apply the test voltage to the item to be tested. Release to terminate the test.
• While the yellow insulation resistance test button is pressed, the
on the display.
• See the Indicator Table for results of the insulation test.
Alarm
Press ALARM to turn the alarm on. Press again to turn the alarm off.
Note: Pressing the Test button activates the alarm if the meter is in continuity test mode. Press the
HOLD button to turn off the alarm while grounding.
Alarm Setpoints
1. Press and hold ALARM to review the setpoints.
2. Press p and u to change the setpoints. Press and hold ALARM to save the settings.
• Continuity: < 2Ω, < 1Ω, and < 0.5Ω
• Resistance: > 50kΩ, > 100kΩ, and > 200kΩ
• Insulation:
50V g < 50 kΩ, < 100 kΩ, and < 200 kΩ
100V g < 100 kΩ, < 200 kΩ, and < 400 kΩ
250V g < 250 kΩ, < 500 kΩ, and < 1 MΩ
500V g < 500 kΩ, < 1 MΩ, and < 2 MΩ
1000V g < 1 MΩ, < 2 MΩ, and < 4 MΩ
Note: The megohmmeter will correct any setting that is entered improperly.
Timed Insulation Resistance Test
Pressing the TIMER
insulation measurements.
1st Press: This locks the TEST button. When you press the TEST button, the unit will run without
requiring you to hold the TEST button down. The test will run for 15 minutes, or until you
press the TEST button again.
2nd Press: This activates timed test mode. You can set the test time with u and p to between 1 and
39:59 minutes. Use the u button to begin and move to the next digit. Use the p button to
change the digit.
3rd Press: This enables the PI function. This is used to calculate the polarization index (ratio of the
measurement at 10 minutes to the measurement at 1 minute.)
4th Press: Enables the DAR function. This is used to calculate dielectric absorption ratio (ratio of the
measurement at 1 minute to the measurement at 30 seconds.)
5th Press: Exit timed test mode.
10
button activates timed test mode. This is only active for
