1. Safety Precautions Electricity can cause severe injuries even with low voltages or currents. Therefore it is extremely important that you read the following information before using your analogue insulation tester. 1.1 This Instrument must only be used and operated by a competent trained person and in strict accordance with the instructions.
Electrical circuits can be dangerous and / or lethal when a lack of caution or poor safety practice is used. Use caution in the presence of voltage above 24V as these pose a shock hazard. 1.7 Pay attention to cautions and warnings which will inform you of potentially dangerous procedures.

7. Simplified Instructions WARNING This instrument must only be used by a competent trained individual. Consult the full operating instructions. Never press the test button before connecting test leads to circuit to test. INITIAL CHECKS 1. Switch to "Batt. Check" and depress the test button. If the pointer does not move to "BAT.
GENERAL ● For ac voltmeter, do not press test button, this is the default mode of the instrument. ● AC voltmeter can works without batteries. ● Insulation or continuity mode: for continous operation, press and turn the test button. SAFETY PRECAUTION ●...
9. Functions 9.1 Battery Check Turn the function selector to Batt. Check. This function has a load which draw about 205mA when test is performed, and therefore it is doing a worst case battery test. Then, press the test button, the pointer should be in the BAT.OK area.

9.6 Low Ohms Measurement 0 - 500Ω Always check for voltage before testing and measuring on a circuit. This instrument is intended for measuring Low Ω and Insulation resistance on unenergized circuits only. Use the procedure explained at points 9.2, 9.3, 9.4. The first procedure to follow, is to zero the test leads and the fuse resistance.

9.9 Insulation Resistance Measurement @ 1000Vdc Always check for voltage before testing and measuring on a circuit. This instrument is intended for measuring Low Ω and Insulation resistance on unenergized circuits only. Use the procedure explained at points 9.2, 9.3, 9.4. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured and wait for a few seconds.
10. Battery & Fuse Replacement 10.1 Battery Replacement The batteries are situated under the analogue insulation tester. The BAT.OK LED will not lit when the voltage of the batteries i s low. Disconnect the test leads from the Instrument, remove the battery cover and the batteries.
11. Calibration & Servicing Contact your nearest distributor about calibration certificate and servicing. Before returning the instrument, ensure that: ● the leads have been checked for continuity and signs of damage. ● the batteries are in good condition. 12. Cleaning & Storage Periodically, wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent;...
