EXTERNAL VOLTAGES
• Do not connect the instrument to a mains voltage different from the one defined on the label
adjacent to the mains connector, otherwise the instrument may be damaged.
• Do not connect test terminals to an external voltage higher than 600 V DC or AC (CAT IV
environment) to prevent any damage to the test instrument!
WORKING WITH THE INSTRUMENT
• Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!
• This product is intended to be used to measure installations in process plants, industrial
installations, and residential applications.
• Equipment under test must be switched off (i.e. de-energized) before test leads are connected
to the equipment.
• Do not touch any conductive parts of equipment under test during the test.
• Make sure that the tested object is disconnected (mains voltage disconnected) before starting
the Insulation Resistance measurement!
• Do not touch the tested object whilst testing it, risk of electric shock!
• Before and after testing, confirm that no hazardous voltage presents at the terminals.
• In case of a capacitive test object (long tested cable etc.), automatic discharge of the object
may not be done immediately after finishing the measurement – “Please wait, discharging”
message will be displayed.
HANDLING WITH CAPACITIVE LOADS
• Note that 40 nF charged to 1 kV or 5 nF charged to 10 kV are hazardous live!
• Never touch the measured object during the testing until it is totally discharged.
• Maximum external voltage between any two leads is 600 V (CAT IV environment).
