    The Tester must only be used by a competent and trained person and operated in strict accordance with these instructions. KYORITSU will not accept liability for any damage or injury caused by misuse or non-compliance with the instructions or with the safety procedures.
  • Page 5 # DANGER ● Since a high voltage 250V or 500V is being output continuously, when measuring insulation resistance, the user may get an electrical shock. Any capacitors in the appliance under test may become charged during testing and may contain hazardous voltages do not touch them.
  • Page 6 Measurement Category To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as O to CAT IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.
