High-Precision 
Insulation, Low Resistance and Voltage Measurement Instrument
4 GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
Power Supply
Batteries 8 ea. 1.5 V mignon cell (8 ea. size AA)
(alkaline manganese per IEC LR14)
Nominal range of use 8.5 ... 12 V
Battery test Battery capacity display with battery sym-
bol in 4 segments:  . 
Querying of momentary battery voltage via 
menu function.
Battery saver circuit Automatic shutdown of display illumination 
after 15 second s (after the last time the 
rotary switch is actuated) can be set via 
the blight parameter. 
The test instrument is automatically switched 
to the standby mode* when the measured 
value remains unchanged and none of the 
controls are activated during this time. 
* Specified time “APoFF” (entered in minutes) 
adjustable via SETUP menu (default setting 
approx. 10 min).
Service life For R
INS
 (1000 V / 1 M) and RLO with 20 
seconds on-time and 1 measurement 
each for a duration of 5 seconds: 
– With batteries (alkaline manganese): 
900 measurements
– With rechargeable batteries (2200 mAh): 
850 measurements 
Safety shutdown If supply voltage is too low, the instrument 
is switched off, or cannot be switched on.
When the rotary switch is set to the OFF 
position, the instrument is completely dis-
connected from the batteries (after 
approximately 10 seconds).
