8. The instrument carries out the following measurements in
a sequence:
Insulation between positive pole (+) of the string and
earth connection
Insulation between negative pole (-) of the string and
earth connection
Calculation of the value of resistance Rp given by the
parallel of measurements (+) and (-)
If "Rp≥Lim", the instrument shows the message "OK", to
indicate the positive result of measurement.
Press the SAVE key to store the test result in the
instrument's memory (see § 7.1) or the ESC/MENU key
to exit the screen without saving and go back to the main
measuring screen.
6.2.2. Measuring insulation – TMR mode
1. Position the cursor onto M by using the arrow keys
(,) and confirm with ENTER. The display shows the
screen to the side. By using the arrow keys (,) again,
select the "TMR" measuring mode, in position "MODE".
2. Use the arrow keys or and select the position
"Vtest" to set the test voltage.
3. Use the arrow keys (,) to select one of the following
test voltages (Vnom): 250, 500, 1000, 1500VDC.
note that in compliance with IEC/EN62446-1 the test
voltage Vtest must be ≥ rated voltage of the system
4. Use the arrow keys or and select the position "Lim.".
The display shows the screen to the side.
5. Use the arrow keys (,) to set the minimum limit
threshold for insulation measurement, which can be
selected among the values 0.05, 0.10, 0.23, 0.25, 0.50,
1.00, 50M. Please note that IEC/EN62446-1
sets 1M as the minimum insulation resistance limit
value for systems with rated voltage higher than 120V
