Te Hononga i ngā Arataki Whakamātautau:

1. Connect the red test lead to the 'LINE' terminal and the black test lead to the 'EARTH' terminal for insulation resistance tests.
2. Mo te voltage measurements, connect the red test lead to the 'V' terminal and the black test lead to the 'G' (Ground) terminal.
3. For continuity tests, connect the red test lead to the 'CONTINUITY' terminal and the black test lead to the 'G' (Ground) terminal.
4. Attach the alligator clips to the test leads as needed for secure connections.

4. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

Kei te Hia/Weto:

Rotate the central dial from 'OFF' to any desired measurement function to power on the device. Rotate back to 'OFF' to power off. The device also features a 15-minute auto-shutdown to conserve battery life.

Whakamātautau Ātete Waihanga:

1. Ensure the test leads are correctly connected to the 'LINE' and 'EARTH' terminals.
2. Rotate the dial to select the desired test voltage (100V, 250V, 500V, 1000V, 2500V ranei).
3. Honoa ngā taura whakamātautau ki te ara iahiko, ki te wāhanga rānei e whakamatautauria ana.
4. Press the 'TEST' button to initiate the insulation resistance measurement. The display will show the resistance value.
5. Release the 'TEST' button to stop the measurement.

Timed Measurement Function:

1. After selecting the test voltage, press the 'TIMER' button.
2. Use the 'HOLD' and 'MAX/MIN' buttons to adjust the desired test duration (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes).
3. Press 'TEST' to start the timed measurement. The device will automatically stop after the set time.

DAR/PI Calculation:

The Absorption Ratio (DAR) and Polarization Index (PI) are indicators of insulation quality. The KE2500 can calculate these automatically.

1. Perform an insulation resistance test as described above.
2. Press the 'DAR/PI' button. The device will display the calculated DAR or PI value.
3. DAR is calculated as the ratio of 60-second insulation resistance to 15-second insulation resistance.
4. PI is calculated as the ratio of 10-minute insulation resistance to 1-minute insulation resistance.

Threshold Comparison (PASS/FAIL):

1. Press the 'COMP' button to enter comparison mode.
2. Use the 'HOLD' and 'MAX/MIN' buttons to set your desired insulation resistance threshold.
3. Perform an insulation resistance test. The display will indicate 'PASS' or 'FAIL' based on your set threshold.

AC / DC Voltage Inenga:

1. Connect the test leads to the 'V' and 'G' terminals.
2. Rotate the dial to the 'AC/DC-V' position.
3. Connect the test probes to the circuit to measure AC or DC voltage. The device automatically detects AC or DC.

Store the tester in its carrying bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

6. Te Raru

• Karekau he Whakaaturanga/Hana: Tirohia te whakaurunga o te pākahiko me te whakarite kia kore nga pākahiko e pau. Whakakapihia mehemea e tika ana.
• Nga Panui Heke: Ensure test leads are securely connected and not damaged. Verify the correct measurement function and voltage range are selected. Clean the test probes if they are dirty.
• Whakaaturanga 'OL' (Tapanui) This indicates the measured value is outside the device's range. For insulation resistance, it means the resistance is too high to measure. For voltage, it means the voltage exceeds the maximum input.
• No Continuity Buzzer: Ensure the device is in continuity mode and the resistance is below 50Ω. Check test leads for proper connection.
