(1) Check the maximum voltage that may be applied to the circuit
under test. Set the Range switch to a desired insulation
resistance range.
(2) Connect Earth probe to the earth terminal of the circuit under
test. If the circuit is not earthed, connect Earth probe to any
appropriate conductor.
(3) Connect Line probe to the circuit under test and press the
Test button or Remote control switch.
(4) Take the reading on the scale for the selected insulation
resistance range.
(5) Release the Test button or Remote control switch and leave
the probes connected to the circuit under test to discharge
charges stored in the capacitance of the circuit.
DANGER
¡ Do not touch the circuit under test immediately after testing.
Charges stored in the capacitance of the circuit may cause
electrical shock.
¡ Leave the probes connected to the circuit under test
until the pointer returns to the left end of the scale. Never touch
the circuit before the discharging completes.
