  • Page 17 1. Set the function selector switch to AC600V. Connect the earth probe (alligator clip on black lead) to earth of the circuit under test and the line probe (red) to the other side as shown below. If the circuit is not earthed, connect the earth probe to an appropriate conductor.
  • Page 18: Insulation Resistance Measurement

    6-2 Insulation Resistance Measurement The insulation resistance function is used for insulation check on electric appliances, wiring systems, etc. The circuit under test must be disconnected from mains and de-energized before attempting to make measurement. Check the maximum voltage that may be applied to the circuit under test.
  • Page 19 2. Check the maximum voltage that may be applied to the circuit under test. Set the function selector switch to an appropriate insulation resistance range. 3. Connect the earth probe (alligator clip on black lead) to the earth terminal of the circuit under test.

Select the precision or simplified mode, then select the desired measuring range. Use the optional test leads for precision measurement.
  • Page 22 Make sure to drive the auxiliary earth spikes in the moist part of the earth. Give enough water if the auxiliary earth spikes have to be stuck into dry, stony or sandy part of the earth so that it may become moist. If it is not possible to drive the auxiliary earth spikes into a hard surface, such as concrete ground, lay the earth spikes there, cover them with a cloth and put water (preferably salt water).
  • Page 23: Simplified Measurement

    CAUTION ¡ When earth voltage is more than 10V, accurate earth resistance measurement can not be made. Reduce the earth voltage, for example, by detaching the earth electrode from the equipment that it connects to or the disconnecting mains from the equipment. ¡...
  • Page 24 When making earth resistance measurement using a wall outlet, which is on the secondary side of mains power supply, use a probe with a blade type prod, instead of an alligator clip, as earth probe. (See section 8 "Adapters for Earth Lead and Replacement") Locate earth of the outlet and insert the blade type prod into it.
  • Page 25 Note: ¡ When mains power supply that includes a residual current circuit breaker is used for simplified measurement, the circuit breaker does not trip since test current is as low as about 2mA. ¡ As only two terminals of the instrument are used in simplified measurement, earth resistance "R "...
