4.3
Voltage Measurement
As soon as the switch is set to an insulation measurement position, the
instrument automatically measures the presence of any AC/DC voltage.
This voltage is measured at all times and indicated on the small display
unit.
The instrument automatically determines AC or DC. The AC measurement
is an RMS value.
If an excessively high external voltage is present on the terminals (> 0.4
Un), pressing the START/STOP button has no effect and no measure-
ments are made. Similarly, if an excessively high erroneous voltage (> 0.4
Un) is detected during the measurement, the measurement is automati-
cally stopped.
