600V CAT IV 1.6. FUNCTIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT C.A 6532 and C.A 6534 megohmmeters are portable measuring instruments with digital displays. They are powered by batteries. The C.A 6532 is designed for telecommunication applications (testing telephone lines). The C.A 6534 is designed for applications in the electronics industry. It can also be used, with suitable probes, to test the immunity of walls and floors to electrostatic discharges (ESD). -
Page 11: Function Keys
1.8. FUNCTION KEYS In general, the keys have a first function, marked on the key, obtained by a short press, and a second function, marked under the key, obtained by a long press. Function The TIMER key is used to select the , PI, and DAR functions. -

100V MR - The instrument displays the voltage on the terminals. It detects whether the voltage is AC or DC and, if it is AC, the C.A 6532 also displays the frequency. In the M settings, the symbol indicates that the voltage is too high (>... -
Page 13: Insulation Measurement
2.3. INSULATION MEASUREMENT 100V Set the switch to one of the M positions. The test voltage you should choose depends on the voltage of the installation to be tested. For example, for a network installation at 230 V, insulation measurements MR - will be made at 500 V. - Page 14 DARPI T1T2 The DAR function (for the C.A 6532) is used to calculate the dielectric absorption ratio, which is the ratio of the measurement at T2 = 1 minute to the measurement at T1 = 30 seconds. press Exit from the function.

2.12. AUTOMATIC STOP After 5 minutes of operation with no sign of the user’s presence (key press or rotation of the switch), the instrument switches to standby. Simply press any key to exit from standby. The instrument returns to the state it was in, with no loss information: value of the last measurement, compensation of the leads, Rel, timed mode, alarm, etc. - Page 23 2.13.2. REREADING THE RECORDS Set the switch to MR. The instrument displays the last measurement recorded. 100V MR - To see the other measurements, press the key.

Page 26: Errors
If, during an insulation measurement, the value to be measured exceeds the measurement range (which depends on the instrument and the test voltage), mAµA the instrument so reports. < In the case of a C.A 6532 in the 100 V range, that leads to display of the screen shown opposite. -
Page 27: Resetting The Instrument
With the C.A 6532, if this occurs during a DAR or PI measurement, the instrument interrupts the measurement and displays the screen shown opposite. 2.15.3. PRESENCE OF A VOLTAGE DURING A CONTINUITY, RESISTANCE, OR CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT (C.A 6532) If, during a continuity, resistance, or capacitance measurement, the instrument detects an external voltage in excess of 15 V (AC or DC), it interrupts the measurement and displays the screen shown opposite. -
