Test voltage values and the relative maximum limit values for the most common kinds of test.
CAUTION
If “Measuring” is displayed the instrument is effecting the measurement.
During this phase do not disconnect the test leads as the circuit under test
may remain charged at a dangerous voltage due to the parasite capacities of
the installation. Independently of the working mode selected the instrument
throws a resistance in the output terminals at the end of each test to
discharge the parasite capacities of the circuit.
4.2.1.1. Mode "MAN"
6. Press the START/STOP key.
The instrument effects the test lasting:
Minimum 6 seconds in case the key is pressed and released within 5 seconds.
Until the key is released for all the other cases.
At the end of the test, in case the
resistance value R

detected results

MAX
(depending on
the selected voltage see following table)
and the test is effected at the
selected rated voltage value, the
instrument emits a double sound
signal indicating the positive
outcome of the test displays one
screen similar to the screen alongside.

The values of measured resistance of isolation always must be confronted with the
normative limits (see table) for being able to assert if the system is to norm.
SAVING: The test can be stored pressing the SAVE key twice
(according to paragraph 5.1).
