Safety Features and Precautions The electronic measuring and test instrument is manufactured Meaning of Symbols on the Instrument and tested in accordance with safety regulations IEC/EN 61010-1 Warning concerning a source of danger / VDE 0411-1 and EN 61557. When used for its intended pur- (attention: observe documentation!) pose, safety of the operator, as well as that of the instrument, is assured.
Initial Start-Up Attention! Battery test Make sure that all of the batteries are inserted with correct Four different battery symbols, ranging from fully depleted to fully polarity. If just one battery is inserted with reversed polar- charged, continuously indicate the momentary charge level in the ity, it will not be recognized by the instrument and may upper left-hand corner of the display result in leakage from the batteries.

This makes it possible to detect interrupted measurement 0V ! cables, which simulate high insulation resistance.
Ending the Measurement Individual measurement: Measurement is ended automatically as soon as the measured value has settled in. ISO/INS Continuous measurement is ended by briefly pressing the ESC key. In either case, the measured value is retained at the 7-segment display.

Measuring Resistance – k/ Function Ð Connect the device under test to the + and COM jacks. Resistance can only be measured at voltage-free objects. If mains voltage or external voltage is applied to the measurement inputs, measurement cannot be started. This is indicated by the high-voltage symbol which appears at the display.
Measuring Low-Value Resistance (up to 10 Ohm) R < 10 – R Function (METRISO G500/G1000) According to the regulations, the measurement of low-value resis- tance at protective conductors, earth conductors or equipotential bonding must be performed with (automatic) polarity reversal of the test voltage, or with current flow in one or the other direction.
