X� Warning: Read Before Using • To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these instructions and use the Tester only as specified in this manual. • Do not use the Tester or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Tester is not operating properly.
FEATURES The quality of insulation is critical to assure proper, uninterrupted and safe functioning of the electrical circuits. Robin-Amprobe Insulation-Continuity Tester is designed to diagnose and prevent the breakdown of the insulation in various parts of the electrical system such as wires, transformers and motors.
• Verify the Tester’s operation by measuring on a known source • Do not use in distribution systems with voltages higher than 660V AC. • Use the Tester with caution for voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose electrical shock hazards. Rotary Switch Positions Switch Position Measurement Function...

• When the measurement is completed, do not touch the circuit as the circuit may store energy, which may cause electric shock. Allow time for circuit to discharge or discharge the circuit (capacitors) after the measurement. To measure insulation resistance: 1.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR If the Tester fails to operate, check battery, test leads, etc., and replace as necessary. Double check the followings: 1. Check the battery. Replace the battery immediately when the symbol “ ” appears on the LCD. 2. Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating procedure.
