The MERISO PRIME+ insulation measuring instrument is in com-
pliance with the following standards and regulations:
Standard DIN EN 61557-1:2007
DIN EN 61557-2:2008
VDE regulation VDE 0413 Part 1:2007
VDE 0413 Part 2:2008
“Equipment for testing, measuring or monitoring protective mea-
sures in systems with line voltages of up to 1000 V AC and
1500 V DC,
part 2, insulation resistance measuring instruments”.
The instrument is suitable for the measurement of insulation resis-
tance at voltage-free devices and equipment with nominal volt-
ages of up to 1000 V. It is also suitable for the measurement of
insulation resistance with values of up to 1 TΩ, and open-circuit
voltages of up to 5000 V.
The instrument is also equipped with a 1000 V measuring range
for direct and alternating voltages. This provides users with the
advantage of checking devices under test for the absence of volt-
age, and discharging capacitive devices under test.
All of the values required for approval reports can be measured
with this instrument.
The SECUTEST PSI module (feature I1) – a printer which can be
inserted into the cover which includes an integrated interface and
keypad – expands the range of possible applications for the
MERISO PRIME+.
All measured data can be archived with the help of measurement
and test reports which can be printed out directly via a PC. This is
a very important feature, especially with regard to product reliabil-
ity.
Notes Regarding SECUTEST PSI Operating Instructions
In combination with the MERISO PRIME+, the SECUTEST PSI
printer module is only used for printing out measured values and
for entering comments with the alphanumeric keypad.

instructions are relevant as regards operation together with the
MERISO PRIME+:
• Chapter 2 Safety Features and Precautions
• Chap. 3.1 and 3.2Installing the Batteries and the PSI Module
• Chapter 12 Characteristic Values
• Chapter 13 Maintenance
• Chapter 14 Repair and Replacement Parts Service
The following functions are not active, or only make sense in com-
