MIT415 Insulation and continuity tester User Guide...
Safety warnings Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use. The circuit under test must be switched off, de-energised, securely isolated and proved dead before test connections are made when carrying out insulation and continuity tests.

Symbols used on the instrument: Caution: risk of electric shock Caution: refer to accompanying notes Displayed on the LCD during an insulation test, warns that a hazardous voltage may exist at the test lead probes also observe voltage discharges to a safe level. On battery cover see section 2.0 notes 10 and 11.

Note: Measured voltage must not exceed 600 V phase to earth or Phase to Phase. Note on TRMS measurement: IN TRMS mode the MIT415 will measure both AC and DC components of the supply voltage (AC+DC). In DC mode only the DC component is measured.

hazardous if touched. Always observe the safety precautions when performing an insulation resistance test, and ensure all necessary health and safety precautions are observed. Automatic Discharge: Capacitive circuits are automatically discharged when the test button is released following an insulation test.

DAR is the ratio between the insulation resistance values at 30seconds (assigned t1) and at 60 second interval (assigned t2). i.e. after 30seconds and 60seconds. DAR = 60 second value/30 second value During all insulation tests the symbol will flash indicating that a test voltage is present.

5. Observe the test result, displayed automatically. The auxiliary display indicates the actual test current (e.g. 205 mA. The maximum is defined in setup menu. Note: The test current displayed is the actual test current used during the test, which will depend on the resistance of the circuit under test.

indicates a value has been changed but not saved. 5. Save new limit by pressing the Lock [ ] button. Saved changed are effected when the Screen Lock symbol stops flashing and disappears. Battery and fuse replacement Battery condition and replacement The battery condition indicator is displayed at all times that the instrument is switched on, as below: 100%, 75% and 50%.
