Description The MD-1000R is a easy-to-use equipment. It uses an efficient well experienced technology, which provides reliable, safe and accurate measurements of insulation resistances up to 20,000MΩ @ 1kV, with 3 test voltages: 250V – 500V – 1kV. Furthermore, it offers useful additional features: 200mA...
Key functions On / Off V Test – it allows to program voltage tests Timer – it allows to program the test duration LIM – it allows to program the limit of the “Pass- Fail test” These keys (decrease or increase) allowing the selection of the value that is being programmed It displays the calculated value as the result of Polarization Index.
Indicates the unit of measured value showed in the display. Indicate the selected test voltage Indicate that the Battery charger is in operation Power supply The MD-1000R uses a rechargeable Ni-MH battery for power.
Charging the battery To recharge the battery: • Check if the MD-1000R is turned OFF. Connect the equipment to the mains using the external • power supply. The battery led ] will keep on lightning with a red light up to completing the charge. At that point, it will change to a green light, being like this up to the equipment disconnection from the mains supply.
When the battery charge a minimum value, approxi- mately 10%, message “LO BAT” appears automatically in the display. Connecting the equipment Connect the MD-1000R as follow: To measure: Low resistances To measure: Insulation resistances To measure: Insulation resistances using the Guard terminal To use:...

Connect the test leads to the circuit and turn ON (L) the equipment.
Setting the equipment Test voltage To select the test voltage: 1- Press the key A. 2- Press the key B or C, the selected test voltage will be indicated by the leds P Q R. 3- After 5 seconds without pressing the keys BC, the equipment turn into safety mode.
This instrument measure voltages from 0 up to 600V. 1- Connect the test leads to the circuit. 2- Turn ON the MD-1000R by pressing the key L, the equipment starts on voltmeter function. If the MD-1000R is already ON, press the key G.
10.000MΩ up to 20.000MΩ up to 20.000MΩ 7- The MD-1000R has a built-in chronometer. To see the elapsed time since test voltage is applied, press the key E. 8- To stop the test, press the key D. The led ` keeps lit until the internal as well as external equipment capabilities are discharged by equipment.
Polarization index (PI) The key J makes it possible to visualize the PI value on the display. For this type of tests, the megohmmeter must be connected and apply voltage to the sample for 10 min. After this period, the operator must press the key J to display the PI value on the megohmmeter display.
4- Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured. The display will show the resistance value. If the MD-1000R detect a short-circuit or the reading is R < 5 ± 0,5Ω, the equipment will indicate with a BEEP...
Auto-power-off The MD-1000R automatically turns off after 5 minutes of non-use. In measurements with programmed time, the countdown of 5 minutes starts after the test conclusion. To turn the megohmmeter back on, press the key Cleaning Cleaning of this instrument should be carried out using a soft cleaning liquid, after verifying that it doesn’t affect the...
