Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Triplett MG600 High Voltage Megohmeter/Insulation Tester. This meter provides four Insulation Resistance test ranges plus Continuity, AC/DC Voltage, Polarization Index and Dielectric Absorption Ratio measurements. Safety International Safety Symbols This symbol, adjacent to another symbol or terminal, indicates the user must refer to the manual for further information. - Page 3 Safety Notes Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range for any of the meter’s functions. Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use. Remove the batteries if the meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days. Warnings Set the function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.
- Page 4 If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Do not use the Insulation resistance tester near explosive gas, vapor or dust. When using the test leads, keep fingers away from the lead contacts.

Emergency Stop To stop a test at any time, press the STOP button or rotate the PRESS TO TEST knob in a counter-clockwise direction. The STOP button also clears the display and beeper after a discharge is complete. Insulation Resistance Test Manual Test Connect the Black Earth test lead to the... - Page 8 Locked Test Repeat steps 1 to 3 as above. Press and turn the PRESS TO TEST button to the lock position to run the test. The buzzer will beep during the test. Read the measured value on the LCD display. Rotate the PRESS TO TEST button to the PRESS TO TEST position to end the test and discharge the device.
- Page 9 Polarization Index (PI) The polarization index Test calculates the ratio of the resistance measurement after 10 minutes to the resistance measurement after 1 minute: Results are determined by the type, age and condition of the insulation material tested. Established standards and test procedures should be used to establish pass/fail criteria for each application.
- Page 10 Notes: The insulation resistance of a device may not be stable therefore the readings supplied by the meter may vary. An audible beep will be heard while a test is in progress, this is normal. Measurements taken on a capacitive load may take some time to complete.
