PRELIMINARY CHECKS Preliminary Performance Checks Battery Replacement The instrument will operate in any position, but best results are achieved when the instrument is face up, on a firm level surface. Warning This is particularly true for hand cranked units to obtain a crank speed of >180 rev/min.
Choice of Test Leads Insulation Testing BM15/ MJ15 are supplied with three unfused leads terminated in After connecting the test leads to the instrument and carrying out the crocodile clips. These are the best leads to use for insulation tests Preliminary Performance Checks: on non-live circuits.
Using the Guard terminal (G) Tightly bound bare wire For basic insulation tests and where there is little possibility of Leakage Path surface leakage affecting the measurement, it is unnecessary to use the guard terminal (if the insulator is clean and there are unlikely to be any adverse current paths).
