Page 6: Errors And Extraordinary Strains
Safety symbols are shown and explained on inside front cover of this manual. APPLICATIONS The MODEL 505 Insulation Tester complies with regulation IEC 61557/EN 61557 “Measuring and Monitoring Equipment for the Testing of Electrical Safety in Sys- tems with Nominal Voltages of up to AC 1000 V and DC 1500 V”. -
Page 7: Initial Start-Up
The tester is also equipped with a 2000 V measuring range for direct and alter- nating voltages. This is especially advantageous for testing for the absence of voltage, and for discharging of capacitive units under test. INITIAL START-UP Battery Installation Before opening the battery compartment (side panel) be sure that the Function Selector switch is set to the “V”... -
Page 8: Analog Display
Analog Display Logarithmic representation of the upper resistance scale allows for quick recog- nition of the magnitude involved. In order to achieve the required accuracy for testing of protective measures, the RANGE key allows for switching to the ex- panded lower limit measuring range of 100 k ... -
Page 9: Insulation Resistance Measurement
INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT Be certain that the device under test (DUT) is voltage-free before preforming measurements; see paragraph 5. If voltage is present see paragraph 6.05. For measurements over 10 G , the guard cable (cat. No 45065) is recommended; see paragraph 6.3. 6.05 DISCHARGING THE DEVICE UNDER TEST The function selector switch must be switched from back to V, in order to... -
Page 10: Measurement Procedure
Measurement Procedure Set Function Selector switch to position, in order to activate test voltage. A range of either 10 k ...1 T or 100 k ... 100 M can be pre-selected with the RANGE key. Select the required nominal voltage of 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V, 1500 V, 2000 V, 2500 V, or 5000 V with the Range Selector switch depending upon the nominal voltage of the D U T . -
Page 11: Measurements With The Guard Cable
Measurements with the Guard Cable The measurement of very high impedance resistances presupposes extremely small measurement currents, and problems can occur due to influences such as electromagnetic fields, moisture or surface currents. For this reason, the mea- surement set-up must be accurate. For measurements over 10 G , the guard cable (cat. -
