Measuring Insulation Resistance


 Warning 
To avoid electric shock, measurements should only be performed 
on de-energized circuits. 
To measure insulation resistance: 
1.  Turn the rotary switch to the R
ISO
 position. 
2.  Use the L and PE (red and green) terminals for this test.  
3. Use 
the 
 to select the test voltage. Most insulation testing is performed 
at 500 V, but observe local test requirements. 
4.  Press and hold  until the reading settles and the tester beeps. 
Note 
Testing is inhibited if voltage is detected in the line. 
 
The primary (upper) display shows the insulation resistance.  
 
The secondary (lower) display shows the actual test voltage. 
Note 
For normal insulation with high resistance, the actual test voltage (U
N
) 
should always be equal to or higher than the programmed voltage. If 
insulation resistance is bad, the test voltage is automatically reduced 
to limit the test current to safe ranges. 
Extended Documentation Mode 
In the Extended Documentation mode, the Tester stores the measurement 
result with the measurement location: P/P, P/N, P/E or N/E. You can select the
