2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings and operating instructions before using this instrument. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

General Safety Precautions:

• Always adhere to local and national safety codes.
• Do not use the meter if it appears damaged or if the test leads are damaged.
• Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed before operation.
• Avoid using the meter in wet environments or in the presence of explosive gases or dust.
• Always disconnect power to the circuit under test before making connections.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, or 60V DC. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Do not exceed the maximum input limits for any function.
• The instrument is rated CAT III 600V. This rating indicates its suitability for measurements in building installation and fixed installations.

4. Setup and Battery Installation

Battery Installation:

The VICTOR 60H requires 1 Lithium Ion battery (included). Ensure proper polarity when installing batteries.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the meter.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the Lithium Ion battery, observing the correct polarity markings.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Initial Power On:

Press the Power/Backlight button (U) to turn on the meter. The display will illuminate, and the device will perform a self-test.

5. Operating Instructions

This section details how to perform various measurements with your VICTOR 60H.

Insulation Resistance Measurement:

1. Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized and safely discharged.
2. Connect the test leads: Connect the red test lead to the LINE terminal and the black test lead to the EARTH terminal. For guard measurements, connect the guard lead to the GUARD terminal.
3. Turn the Measuring Knob to the desired insulation resistance test voltage (e.g., 100V, 250V, 500V, 1000V).
4. Press and hold the 'PRESS TO TEST' button to initiate the measurement. The voltage will be applied, and the insulation resistance value will be displayed.
5. Release the 'PRESS TO TEST' button to stop the measurement. The meter will automatically discharge the circuit.
6. To lock the test for continuous measurement, press the 'LOCK' button while holding 'PRESS TO TEST'. Press 'LOCK' again to unlock.

Voltage Measurement:

1. Turn the Measuring Knob to the voltage measurement function (V).
2. Connect the test leads to the circuit in parallel.
3. Read the voltage value on the display.

Data Storage and Recall:

• After a measurement, press the 'SAVE' button to store the reading.
• Use the 'MEM' button to enter memory recall mode.
• Use the 'MODE' or 'RANGE' buttons to navigate through stored data.
• Press 'CLR' to clear selected data or all data (refer to specific instructions in the full manual for clearing all data).

6. Maintenance

Cleaning:

Wipe the meter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Keep the terminals free from dirt and moisture.

Battery Replacement:

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the battery promptly to ensure accurate measurements. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section for instructions.

Storage:

If the meter is not used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and damage. Store the meter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your VICTOR 60H, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Meter does not power on: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are charged.
• No reading or 'OL' displayed: Ensure test leads are properly connected. 'OL' (Overload) indicates the measured value exceeds the selected range; try a higher range or check for open circuits.
• Inaccurate readings: Check battery level. Ensure test leads are not damaged and connections are secure. Verify the correct measurement function and range are selected.
• Display backlight not working: Press the Power/Backlight button to toggle the backlight. If it still doesn't work, check battery level.

For persistent issues, contact customer support.
