1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the MG320 True RMS Insulation Resistance CAT IV 600V DMM.

The MG320 features a rugged design for heavy duty use. The MG320 measures Insulation

Resistance, AC/DC Voltage, and Resistance.

Insulation Resistance tests are automatic ranging with 5 test voltages from 50V to 1000V. The

MG320 can store and recall up to 99 measurements.

The MG320 is suitable for measuring the insulation resistance on elecrical equipment such as

transformers, motors, cables, switches, and appliances.

Proper use and care of this meter will provide years of reliable service.

Features

True RMS AC/DC Voltage Measurments to 600V

Insulation Resistance Measurements up to 20G

Low Resistance/Continuity Measurements to 20k

Auto Ranging measurements

Polarization Index (PI) and Dielectric Aborption Ratio (DAR) tests

Five (5) Insulation Resistance test voltages (50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000V)

Insulation Resistance tests in10% voltage steps (from 50% to 120% of range)

Front panel LED test voltage alert lamp

Eight (8) Insulation Resistance measurement ranges (automatic ranging)

Pass/Fail Comparator function

Auto-discharge at end of test

High voltage display symbols

Hand’s free test lock feature

Manually store and recall up to 99 readings

Overload indication

Optional remote test probe for controlling the TEST button remotely

Test leads, alligator clips, batteries, user manual, and case included

PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I is equipment for connection to circuits in which measures are taken

to limit the transient over-voltages to an appropriate low level.

Note – Examples include protected electronic circuits.

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming equipment to be supplied from the fixed

installation.

Note – Examples include household, office, and laboratory appliances.

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed installations.

Note – Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some equipment for industrial use with permanent

connection to the fixed installation.

OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV

Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV is for use at the origin of the installation.

Note – Examples include electricity meters and primary over-current protection equipment

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution. The rules listed below

must be carefully followed for safe operation.

1. NEVER apply voltage to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:

Input Protection Limits

Function Maximum Input

V DC or V AC 600VDC/AC rms

Resistance/Continuity 500mA/600V fuse protected input

Insulation Resistance 250VDC/AC rms

Surge Protection: 8kV peak per IEC 61010

2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.

3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds 600V above earth

ground.

4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in the

resistance mode. Doing so can damage the meter.

5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making

resistance tests.

6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to replace

the fuse or batteries.

7. NEVER operate the meter unless the battery/fuse cover is in place and fastened securely.

8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by

the equipment may be impaired.
