4.2 Connecting Test Leads

Insert the red test lead into the "VΩ" input jack.
Insert the black test lead into the "COM" input jack.
Ensure connections are firm before proceeding with any measurements.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

Rotate the central rotary switch to the desired measurement function to power on the device. To power off, rotate the switch to the "OFF" position. The device features an automatic shutdown function after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

5.2 Insulation Resistance Measurement

Ensure the circuit under test is de-energized and isolated.
Connect the test leads to the circuit points where insulation resistance is to be measured.
Rotate the central switch to one of the insulation resistance test voltage settings (250V, 500V, 1000V, or 2500V).
Press the TEST button to initiate the measurement. The high voltage warning indicator will illuminate.
Read the insulation resistance value on the LCD.
Release the TEST button to stop the measurement. The device will automatically discharge the circuit.
