4. BEFORE OPERATION

Warning

To avoid electrical shock remove test leads before opening case or

battery cover. Do not operate with battery cover open.

To avoid electrical shock when performing resistance tests, remove

all power from the circuit to be measured.

To avoid electrical shock, first connect the test leads to the meter

inputs before you make connection to the circuit under test.

To avoid electrical shock, do not touch test lead tips, test points or

terminals when pressing TEST.

4-1 How to connect test leads.

4-5 Manual Data Memory and Read Mode : 5. ΩRESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY MEASUREMENTS

1). Clear the manual memorized data

1). Set the function switch to Ωposition.

cSet the function switch to OFF position to turn off the meter.

dPress and hold down "MEM" key, and turn on the meter.

When LCD shows "dEL" which means the manual memorized

data is erased.

2). Connect red test lead to “ VΩ” terminal and black test lead to

“ COM ” terminal.

3). Connect the probe to the circuit to be measured. Measure

voltage first to ensure that no haszardous voltage is present, then

switch to ohms.

2). Manual data memory

cPress "MEM" key each time, one set of reading to will be

stored to the memory. At this moment, LCD will show the

"MEM" mark and the memory address number. Total memory

size is 9 sets.

4). Read the resistance value from the display. If the resistance is

approximately 40Ωor less, the meter will beep.

dWhen the memory is full, LCD will show " 9 " memory address

number.

3). Read Manual memory data 6. MΩINSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

cPress "READ" key to enter READ mode, the LCD will show

"READ" mark and the memory address number. 6-1 Measuring Insulation Resistance

dPress " " or " " key to select the desired memory address

number data for display. Measuring insulation resistance requires the application of

potentially dangerous voltage to the circuit. This may include

exposed bonded metal work.

ePress " READ " key again to exit this mode.

Before proceeding, ensure that the installation is correctly wired

and no personnel are endangered by any test.

1). Set the function switch to the desired MΩtest voltage position.

2). Connect red test lead to “ VΩ” terminal and black test lead to

“ COM ” terminal.

3). The display will show “-----“ until the TEST button is pushed.

Press and hold the TEST key. The upper right display shows

the test voltage applied to the circuit under test. The main

display shows the resistance until a stable resistance reading is

displayed on the main display.

4). Keeping the probes on the test points when release the TEST key. 7. POWER TOOLS AND SMALL APPLIANCES

The upper right display shows the measured resistance reading

and the circuit now discharges through the meter, while the

main display reading shows the decreasing voltage, keep the

probe touched to test points until the circuit is completely

discharged and the main display shows “-----“.

This test would also apply to other similar equipment that has a line cord.

For double insulated power tools, one leads of megohmmeter to be

connected to the housing. The other leads would be connected to some

metal part of the tool (e.g. chuck, blade).

The upper right display holds the resistance reading until a new

test is started or a different function is selected. Note: The switch of the device must be in the “ON” position and the main

power should be disconnected.

6-2 Using the LOCK Function to Measure Insulation Resistance

The LOCK function holds the test voltage on the probes. Use

LOCK function to make long duration measurements, don’t need to

push and hold the TEST key.

1). Press and hold the TEST key, then press the LOCK key to enter

LOCK mode. In this mode, a potentially dangerous voltage is

continuously applied to the probes.

In this mode, if the probes are disconnected from the circuit, the

meter cannot discharge any potentially dangerous capacitive

voltages left on the circuit.

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

indicated, the motor and other components should be checked

individually.

Ensure that the circuit is de-energized before connecting the test

probes.

2). Press LOCK or TEST key to disable the Lock function.

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.

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

www. .com information@itm.com1.800.561.8187

individually, leaving the other connected to the grounded motor housing.

The above also applies to DC Generators.

3). Press TEST key, the display should indicate approximately 0.5Ω, if the

display reads OL, replace the fuse as described next and test again.

8-2 Replace the Fuse

Warning

To avoid electric shock, personal injury or damage to the meter, use

only the specified fuse.

1). Set the function switch to OFF position.

2). Disconnect test leads from any power source.

3). Place the meter face down on a nonabrasive surface and loosen the

four screws.

4). Take off the bottom cover.

5). Remove the fuse, replace with a new fuse.

6). Place the bottom cover on and secure the four screws.

CABLES 7). Test the fuse (refer 8-1 Testing the Fuse).

Disconnect the cable from power. Also disconnect opposite end to avoid

errors of any leakage from other equipment. Check each conductor to

ground and /or lead source by connecting one megohmmeter lead to a

ground and /or lead source 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.

9. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

1). Set the function switch to OFF position.

2). Disconnect test leads from any power source.

3). Place the meter face down on a nonabrasive surface and loosen the

two screws.

4). Take off the battery cover.

5). Remove the battery, replace with six new batteries.

6). Place the battery cover on and secure the two screws.

10. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
