Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I do if the tester displays an error message for input voltage?
A: If the input voltage exceeds 10V, disconnect the tester immediately to prevent damage and ensure safety.

Q: How do I select the appropriate test voltage range for insulation resistance testing?
A: Refer to the insulation materials used and choose the corresponding test voltage range as per the specifications provided.

Q: What are the recommended safety protections for conducting electrical tests?
A: Use MCB (B, C, D, K) or Fuse (gG, aM) as safety protection measures during testing to prevent electrical hazards.
