Page 5: Introduction
• These megohmmeters are sources of high voltage, as is the sample connected to them. All persons performing or assisting in the tests must follow all safety precautions to prevent electrical shock to themselves and to others. • AEMC considers the use of rubber gloves to be an excellent safety practice even if the equipment is properly operated and correctly grounded. • When testing capacitance samples, make sure that they have been properly discharged and that they are safe to touch.

Page 7: Product Features
A built-in battery tester is provided by simply pressing the yellow push button when the selector switch is in the OFF position. Voltmeter (safety check) with a range of 0 to 600V is standard and works when the selector switch is in the 500V position or the 1000V position. Features • Measures insulation at 1000V • 0 to 1000Ω resistance range • Push button for battery check • Designed for harsh environments: offshore, mining, heavy-duty field, industrial, commercial electrical and military use • 0 to 10Ω+ and 0 to 10Ω- continuity ranges • Continuity 200mA test current • Small and lightweight • Large, direct-reading, colored scale • 600V test voltage range (safety check) • Yellow non-slip shockproof case Megohmmeter Model 1015... -

NOTE: If measuring voltage on a DC circuit, the pointer will deflect but the measurement may be inaccurate. Insulation Resistance Testing (MΩ Range) After checking for a live circuit (see Safety Check above), connect the megohmmeter. Several connection examples are illustrated in Figures 3 through 10. 4.2.1 Test Voltage No published standard tells which voltage to choose for any given winding. However, published recommendations could be summarized as follows: Rated Voltage of Motor Test Voltage Below 115 250V 250V or 500V 500V 500V or 1000V Megohmmeter Model 1015... -
Page 12: Spot Testing
It is not unusual for a winding to be 10 to 100 times the recommended minimum value (IEEE Std. #43-1974: Recommended Practice for Testing Insulation Resistance of Rotating Machinery), but this varies with tem- perature and humidity. 4.2.3 Ratio Testing In time resistance reading (Dielectric Absorption Ratio), readings are taken at 30 and 60 seconds to obtain the dielectric absorption ratio. Insulation resistance @ 60s = Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) Insulation resistance @ 30s This test is useful to increase the accuracy of spot testing. In general, a ratio of 1.25:2 or better should be required. A ratio below this indicates that repair is probably needed. Remember, a DC insulation test may be used for acceptance testing, but is more commonly used to check the gradual deterioration of equipment over its life. Consult your equipment manufacturer for specific test or test voltage if not known. Insulation resistance decreases with moisture, temperature and age and should be recorded over time at a given temperature and corrected. Megohmmeter Model 1015... -

VDE 0413-4. If your work does not require you to conform to this standard, only one measurement is necessary. • Return to “OFF” after use. NOTE: For better measurement accuracy on the 10Ω+ and the 10Ω– ranges, measure the resistance of the leads by short-circuit- ing them, then subtract this value from the measured values. Resistance Measurements • Set the switch to the 1000Ω position. The measurement is done auto- matically; you do not need to press the yellow button. • Read the value on the white scale 0 to 10Ω, then multiply the reading by 100 to get the actual value measured. • Return to “OFF” after use.
