3.28 Insulation Resistance Measurements
Connect the black TL45 test lead to the INSULATION
Connect the red TL45 test lead, or the optional TL180 test probe, to
the INSULATION
terminal.
Set the rotary switch to the INSULATION position.
RANGE
Press the
button to select the required test voltage (50V,
50V~1KV
100V, 250V, 500V or 1000V). The selected test voltage will be
displayed on the LCD.
SEL
ZERO
Press the
button to activate the smooth function if a noisy
measurement requires stabilising. The LCD will display the
SMOOTH symbol.
Taking all necessary safety precautions connect the TL45 test
leads, or if applicable, the TL180 test probe and black TL45 test
lead, to the circuit being measured.
If there is a live circuit warning (see section 3.13) do not continue
with the test and remove all connections from the circuit under test.
INSULATION
Press either the
button, or if using the TL180 test probe,
TEST
the test button on the test probe, and hold it down for the duration
of the test.
Note: It is not necessary to hold down the test button if the lock
function is active (see section 3.14).
Read the measured insulation resistance from the main display
and the actual test voltage from the sub-display.
Replace only with the original type 0.5 A/1000V 6.3x32mm fast
blow ceramic fuse.
Replace the battery compartment cover and screws.
4.3 Test Lead Replacement
If the test leads become damaged they should be replaced.
The replacement test leads must have the same (or better)
overvoltage category rating as the TL45 leads supplied.
4.4 Calibration
To maintain the integrity of measurements made using your
instrument, Martindale Electric recommends that it is returned
at least once a year to an approved Calibration Laboratory for
recalibration and certifi cation.
Martindale Electric is pleased to offer you this service. Please

kept in a clean condition.
Prior to cleaning, ensure that the instrument is disconnected
from any voltage source.
If contamination is found, clean with a damp soft cloth and if
necessary a mild detergent or alcohol. Do not use abrasives,
abrasive solvents, or detergents which can cause damage to the
unit. If a mild detergent is used, the unit should subsequently

Overrange on the insulation resistance measurement function
is indicated by a fl ashing " > " symbol followed by the maximum
reading of the selected test voltage. E.g. " > 3G " for a test voltage
of 500V.
4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 Battery Replacement
