Insulation Testing
1. Turn the instrument ‘On‘ by selecting the MΩ range.
2. Connect the test probes to the isolated circuit under test.
3. Press and hold the push button; the display shows the insulation value.The
reading will remain displayed for a few seconds after the push button is
released. As an additional safety feature, instruments with
1000V range will
flash symbol before performing a test.
4. Release the push button before removing the test leads (to enable the
instrument to discharge the circuit under test).
5. On completion switch to the ‘
OFF’ position. Alternatively auto shut off
operates after 12 minutes of inactivity.

Auto Shut off: Operates after 5 minutes of inactivity by the
instrument in Continuity position and 12 minutes in Insulation position. Beep
notes pre-empt auto shut off. The instrument can be switched back on by
pressing the test button, or by selecting ‘
OFF‘ and then the required position.
