BATTERY REPLACEMENT 5.1. How to connect test leads. a) On M Range: Connect the red test lead into the "V" terminal and the black lead into the "COM" terminal. b) On 200 and ACV Range: Connect the red test lead into the "V" terminal and the black lead into terminal "COM" 5.2. Battery Check-UP & Replacement a) As battery power is not sufficient. LCD will display. Replacement of 6 pcs new batteries, type 1.5V size "AA" is required. b) Place back the battery cover and four the screws. 5.3. Test leads check Set the range select switch to the 200 range. With the tip and alligator clip of the test leads connected. The indicator should read 00.0. When the leads are not connected the display will read infinity indicated by "1". This will ensure that test lead are under working condition. 7 6. INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS 6.1. Measurements at 200M/250V This is the voltage used for the majority of insulation resistance tests on normal installation requirement. To measure insulation resistance, press the test button to power on the tester. The LCD will displayed the insulation resistance. Section VII indicated that subdivision of large installations might be necessary because of the large number of parallel insulation resistance. In such a case, an installation may be divided into sections, each being separately tested. Each section must have not less than fifty outlets, an outlet being a switch, socket, lighting point etc. A switched socket counts as one outlet. The minimum acceptable insulation resistance is 1M. For a large installation, the capacitance of the insulation will be high, and it will take longer for it to become charged by the direct testing voltage. Care must be taken not to take a reading until there is a steady reading, indicating that the charging process is complete. Note: The charge stored in the insulation will be discharged automatically when the test button is released. Be careful not to turn the range switch knob whilst the test button is pressed, or the instrument will be damaged. 6.2. Measurements at 2000M/1000V Some specifications require testing at 1000V. This voltage must also be selected where the supply voltage of the installation is between 500V and 1000V. First, set the range switch to 1000V and then proceed as indicated in a above for 500V testing. The above note also applies to testing at 1000V. In addition the following applies. Note: Make sure that the circuit under does not include components Which will be damaged by the 1000V applied. Many normal components of an installation are likely to be damaged if tested at 1000V. Examples are power factor correction capacitors, low voltage mineral insulated cables, electronic light dimmers, electronic ballasts and starters for fluorescent lamps etc... 6.3. Lock power on Feature For hands free operation a lock power on feature is incorporated on the press to test button. Set LOCK button to lock test voltage, Pressing it again will switch it off. 8 7. LOW RESISTANCE (CONTINUITY) MEASUREMENTS 1. Set the range switch to 200 Position 2. Connect the red test lead to the V terminal and black to the COM terminal. 3. Connect the tips of the test leads to both ends of the circuit under test read resistance in on the LCD. 4. When the impedance on circuit is below approximately 40. It will indicate by a continuous beeper. 8. AC/DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS 1. Set the range switch to ACV or DCV position 2. Connect red test lead to "V " terminal and black test lead to terminal "COM". 3. Connect test prods of test leads IN PARALLEL to the circuit being measured. 4. Read the voltage value on LCD. 9. POWER TOOLS AND SMALL APPLIANCES This test would also apply to other similar equipment that has a line cord. For double insulated power tools, the megohmmeter lead shown connected to the housing would be connected to some metal part lf the tool (e.g. chuck,blade). Note: The switch of the device must be in the "ON" position and the main power should be disconnected. MOTORS AC-Disconnect the motor from the line by disconnecting the wires at the motor terminals or by opening the main switch. If the main switch is used and the motor also has a starter then the starter must be held, by some means, in the "ON" position. In the latter case, the measured resistance will include the resistance of the motor, wire and all other components between the motor and the main switch. If a weakness is in dicated, the motor and other components should be checked individually. If the motor is disconnected at the motor terminals, connect one megohmmeter lead to the grounded motor housing and the other lead to One of the motor leads. DC-Disconnect the motor from the line. To test the brush rigging, field coils and armature connect one megohmmeter lead to the grounded motor housing and the other lead to the brush on the commutator. If the resistance measurement indicates a weakness, raise the brushes off the commutator and separately test the armature, field coils and brush rigging by connecting one megohmmeter lead to each of them individually, leaving the other connected to the grounded motor housing. The above also applies to DC Generators. 9 CABLES Disconnect the cable from the line. Also disconnect opposite end to avoid errors due to leakage from other equipment. Check each conductor to ground and /or lead sheath by connecting one megohmmeter lead to a ground and /or lead sheather and the other megohmmeter lead to each of the conductors in turn. Check insulation resistance between conductors by connecting megohmmeter leads to conductors in pairs. 10 11 MAJOR TECH (PTY) LTD South Africa Australia www.major-tech.com www.majortech.com.au sales@major-tech.com info@majortech.com.au
