1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a Megohmmeter Model 6505. For best results from your instrument and for your safety, read the enclosed operating instructions carefully and comply with the precautions for use. These products must be used only by qualified and trained users.
Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the equipment appears to be damaged, file a claim immediately with the carrier and notify your distributor at once with a detailed description of any damage. Save the damaged packing container to substantiate your claim. Megohmmeter Model 6505...
1.4 ORDERING INFORMATION Megohmmeter Model 6505............. Cat. #2130.18 Includes extra-large tool bag, set of 3 color-coded 10ft leads with clips [5000V] (red, blue, black), one blue guard terminal jumper lead, fuse 0.1A 380V, rechargeable battery pack (installed), US 115V power cord, and user manual.
Capacitance of the sample and discharge voltage present at the test leads is displayed at the test’s conclusion. The Model 6505 is designed with the highest level of built-in safety features. This meter incorporates test inhibit capabilities that will not allow test voltages to be generated if a live sample is detected.
AC power plug (direct operation on AC and battery recharge). Back-lit crystal display (see §2.5). Serial interface male plug (9-pin) for calibration only. Rotary selector switch with 8 positions (see §2.3). START/STOP button. Two function buttons (see §2.4). Megohmmeter Model 6505...
Decreases the flashing parameter being displayed. ▼ Used to navigate the list of interval insulation measurements in the R(t) function. NOTE: If you hold down the ▲ or ▼ buttons, the movement speed between parameters will increase. Megohmmeter Model 6505...
External voltage present, symbol is activated after pressing START if V > 25Vac ± 3V or > 35Vdc. Indicates the duration of the measurement or the time remaining in the case of PI measurement. Indicates the battery is low and must be recharged (§5.1). Megohmmeter Model 6505...
If an excessively high external voltage is present on the terminals (> 0.4 Un), pressing the START/STOP button will have no effect, and no measurements will be made. Similarly, if an excessively high erroneous voltage (> 0.4 Un) is detected during the measurement, the measurement will automatically stop. Megohmmeter Model 6505...
- terminal of the instrument. Connect the blue high-voltage lead between the insulation and the G terminal of the instrument. The guard serves to eliminate the effect of surface leakage currents. Megohmmeter Model 6505...

It will be displayed for a few seconds when an affected range is selected (e.g. if the maximum voltage is 750V, it will be applied and displayed on all switch settings from 1000V up). Megohmmeter Model 6505...
The test voltage, Un, is indicated by the setting of the switch. ■ Eliminate the voltage and restart the measurement. ■ Indicates that the protective fuse of the G terminal is defective. ■ Replace the fuse as indicated in §5.2. Megohmmeter Model 6505...
