Notes: During measurements of insulation resistance, dangerous voltage up to 1 kV occurs at the ends of test leads of MIC-10 / MIC-30 meter. It is forbidden to disconnect test leads before the measurement is completed. Failure to obey the above instruction will lead to high voltage electric shock and make it impossible to discharge the object tested.
