Insulation Resistance (IR) Test

Ensure that the device-under-test (DUT) is

de-energized before performing any resistance

measurement.

The tester automatically detects if the circuit is

energized. If the external voltage is detected to be

greater than 30 V, the test is inhibited and the

voltage hazard symbol ( ) is shown on the

display.

CAUTION

DO NOT perform insulation resistance test in

distribution systems with voltages higher than 600 V.
