If the external voltage present at the device’s terminals exceeds 25VAC/DC, pressing the yellow START/STOP button does not bring about insulation mea-surement, but instead triggers an audible signal. The symbol flashes for 2 seconds, then the device goes back to automatic voltage measurement.

If the test voltage is considered to be dangerous (>120V), the symbol is displayed. If, during insulation measurement, an external voltage >25VAC ±3V or 35VDC is detected, the measurement is stopped as long as the voltage is applied to the instrument. The symbol flashes and the voltage value is indicated on the small digital display.

OPERATION
NOTE: Charge the instrument fully before use (Model 1060). Measurements cannot be performed during battery charging.
4.1 Measurement Procedure• Start the instrumentbyselecting thecorrespondingposition (MΩ,40Ω
or 400kΩ) with the selector switch.All the segments on the LCDscreenaredisplayed,thenthebattery(orrechargeablebattery)voltageisdisplayed.
• Connect the leads to the “+” and “-” terminals and the points ofmeasurement.
• The input voltage is constantlymeasured and displayed on the smalldisplay.Ifanexternalvoltageispresentthatisgreaterthanthethresholdsdescribedin§4.2,4.3and4.4,thenmeasurementisprohibited.
• PresstheSTART/STOPbuttontostartthemeasurement.• Press START/STOP again to stop the measurement. The last result
remains on the display until the next measurement is started, or theselectorswitchisturned.
WARNING: If a voltage >25VAC or 35VDC is detected during measurements, the instrument indicates this voltage on the small display, the warning symbol flashes and the measurement is stopped.
Note:Thereareseveralspecialfunctionsthatcanbeused(see§2.5).
4.2 Insulation Measurement (see§2.6.2)Thisfunctionallowstheinstrumenttomeasureinsulationresistancefrom1kΩ to 40GΩatatestvoltageof50V,100V,250Vandupto1TΩ at 500V and 1000V.
• Use the rotaryswitch toselect the required testvoltage (MΩ-50V,orMΩ-100V,orMΩ-500V,orMΩ-1000V).
• Connecttheinstrumenttotheinsulatortobetested. • StartthemeasurementusingtheSTART/STOPbuttonandreadtheresults.
WARNING: If the voltage present exceeds 8V for MΩ-50V, 16V for MΩ-100V, or 25V at all the other test voltages, then measurement is prohibited.
