Measuring ACV/DCV:Auto sense function Auto sense mode: The meter displays ACV or DCV whichever is higher (>0.3V). If the measured voltage is above 660Vac/dc, "> 660Vac/dc" will appear on the display. Measuring ACV/DCV : Auto sense +LPF function...
Measuring Earth-Bond Resistance 1. Before starting the test : (a) The circuit under test must be completely de-energized. Check the fuse before testing. Connecting to an energized circuit while the test is active will blow the fuse. See Testing the fuse later in this manual. If the detected voltage is above 2V, ">2V"...
Measuring Insulation Resistance 1. Before starting the test : The circuit under test must be completely de-energized. If the voltage detected is above 30V, ">30V" will appear on the display. In this condition, the test is inhibited. 2. Press the blue button to display insulation resistance or Leakage current during the test or when the test stops.
Using the Compare function 1. Before starting the insulation test : Press the COMP button to select the compare value among 100kΩ,200kΩ,500kΩ,1MΩ,2MΩ,5MΩ,10MΩ,20MΩ, 50MΩ,100MΩ,200MΩ and 500MΩ. 2. If the measured value is greater than the selected compare value, the green Pass indicator will be turned on.

Using the Store function Store/Recall button : The screen will be flashing MEM symbol and the number of stored data twice when the Store/Recall button is pressed. 1. Press once to store the voltage value during voltage test 2. Press once to store the PI/ DAR, insulation or Earth-bond resistance value when the individual test is completed.
Read the stored value of insulation test under RECALL mode Read the stored value of DAR test under RECALL mode Press the PI/DAR button ≧ 2 sec to choose the DAR function, and Press the Store/Recall button ≧ 2 sec to enter the RECALL mode.
Read the stored value of PI test under RECALL mode Press the PI/DAR button ≧2 sec to choose the PI function, and Press the Store/Recall button ≧2 sec to enter the RECALL mode. Auto Power Off (Battery Saver) Restore power by switching rotor or pressing any button. Auto Backlight The backlight is automatically turned on at dark environment.
