Wavecom Instruments Insulation-Continuity Tester User Manual Use with caution in the presence of voltage above 24V as these pose a shock hazard. 1.7 Pay attention to cautions and warnings which will inform you of potentially dangerous procedures. 1.8 Your analogue insulation tester has a live circuit warning beeper.
Wavecom Instruments Insulation-Continuity Tester User Manual ● Live Warning and display of external voltage presence. ● Fuse and overload protected. ● On line battery monitoring shows if battery is ok. ● Very low battery consumption. ● On-Load battery check (+/-205mA load for worst case).
Wavecom Instruments Insulation-Continuity Tester User Manual 6. Why Test is Necessary? INSULATION Every electrical apparatus and installation need to be safe for the user and for the equipment itself. Electrical conductors of electricity need to be insulated from each other, so that they do not create electrical hazard or unnecessary consumption.
Wavecom Instruments Insulation-Continuity Tester User Manual 8. Simplified Instructions INSTRUCTIONS ANALOGUE INSULATION-CONTINUITY TESTER WARNING This instrument must only be used by a competent trained individual. Consult the full operating instructions. Never press the test button before connecting test leads to circuit to test.
Wavecom Instruments Insulation-Continuity Tester User Manual CONTINUITY TESTS - Ω RANGES 1. Select the desired ohm range, 3Ω or 500Ω. 2. Short the test leads, press test button and adjust the ohms zero ADJ to zero the pointer on the 0Ω (green scale).
Wavecom Instruments Insulation-Continuity Tester User Manual 10. Functions 10.1 Battery Check Turn the function selector to Batt. Check. This function has a load which draw about 205mA when test is performed, and therefore it is doing a worst case battery test.
