Voltage: with 1kHz “low-pass” filter <1000V The IRT807 is equipped with an AC “low-pass” filter. When measuring AC voltage press the Select Button to activate the “low pass” filter function. The meter continues to measure in the selected AC mode, but the signal passes through the filter that blocks any unwanted frequencies above 1kHz.

Measuring Polarization Index and Dielectric Absorption Ratios Polarization Index (PI) is the ratio of the 10-minute insulation resistance to the 1 minute insulation resistance. Dielectric PI/DAR IRT807 Absorption Ratio (DAR) is the ratio of the 1-minute insulation resistance to the 30-second insulation resistance. • Default =...
Testing the Fuse • Turn the rotary selector dial to ZERO/Ω position. • Press and hold the TEST button. If the display IRT807 shows “FUSE”, the fuse is bad and should be replaced. Please see Fuse Replacement section of this manual.
