6.Measurement 6-1 Voltage measurement (Mains disconnection check) (1) Connect the Earth probe to the earth of the circuit under test and Line probe to the other side. If the circuit is not earthed, connect Earth probe to any appropriate conductor. (2) Take the reading on the LCD without pressing the Test button or Remote control switch.
Page 13
Note: ¡ Some circuits have an unstable insulation resistance, which causes the reading to vary during measurement. ¡ The instrument may generate a high pitch tone during measurement. This is not a failure. ¡ If the circuit under test has a large capacitive load, it may take some time before the final reading can be obtained.

(2) Connect the Earth probe to the earth terminal of the circuit under test. If the circuit is not earthed, connect the Earth probe to any appropriate conductor. (3) Connect the Line probe to the circuit under test and press the Test button or Remote control switch.
(6) Set the Range selector switch to the OFF position, and disconnect the probes from the instrument. DANGER ¡Never touch the circuit under test immediately after testing. Capacitance stored in the circuit may cause electric shock. Leave the test leads connected to the circuit until the LIVE LED and LIVE circuit warning stop flickering.
Fig. 9 6-5 Measurement of resistance (Continuity check) DANGER ¡ Do not apply voltage to the resistance range. Always test the circuit or equipment to ensure it is surely de-energized before measurement. Zero Ω ADJ. function This is a function to null the resistance of the test lead or fuse in order to display the resistance of the equipment under test only.
Releasing: (1) Set the Range selector switch to theΩ(Continuity) position. (2) Open the test leads: LINE (red) and EARTH (black). (3) Press the Zero Ω ADJ. to release this function when "OL" is displayed on the LCD while the Test button is locked or the Remote control switch is pressed down .
7.Functions keys 7-1 Comparator function Set a reference resistance value at the insulation resistance range. The measured value is compared to the pre-set reference value, and the mark of is displayed on the LCD and buzzer Settable reference value: 0.1/0.2/0.25/0.4/0.5/1/2/3/5/10/20/30/50/100/Any : Unit [MΩ] "...
7-2 Memory (save) function Measured insulation resistance can be saved to the internal memory up to 99 data. Saving method: (1) Measure the insulation resistance, and press the MEM key while the message is displayed on the LCD.Then a memory number displayed at the lower left flickers.Select any memory number with the UP or DOWN key, and press the key.
8.Fuse & Battery replacement DANGER ¡ Never open the Battery cover during a measurement.Dispose the used batteries according to the rules, which is defined by each community. WARNING ¡ To avoid possible electric shock, remove test leads before opening the Battery cover. After replacing batteries, be sure to tighten up the screws for Battery cover.
9.Notes on Housing case and accessories 9-1 Case lid Case lid can be fit under the Housing case while making measurement. (1) Unhook and open the Case lid. (2) Turn it 180 degrees. Put the Case lid under the Housing case. (3) Hook it on to the Housing case.
9-3 Test prods and replacement 1. Types of Test prods MODEL8072: Standard Test prod Used for ordinary measurement. (Attached to the Line probe at the time of purchase.)
