SAFETY WARNINGS
✱Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood
before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use.
✱The circuit under test must be switched off, de - energized and
isolated before Insulation or Continuity tests are made.
✱Circuit connections must not be touched during a test.
✱The test button must not be pressed while connecting the test
leads or while changing ranges.
✱The ‘Test’ button must not be pressed when making a voltage test.
✱The Default Voltmeter, and Automatic discharge are additional
safety features and should not be regarded as a substitute for
normal safe working practice.
✱The 210170 is protected for connection to Power distribution
systems up to 300 V Line - Ground, and 500 V Line - Line for
Installation Category III*.
✱It is recommended that fused test leads are used when measuring
voltage on high energy systems.
✱After insulation tests, capacitive circuits must be allowed to
discharge before disconnecting the test leads.
✱Test leads, prods and alligator clips must be in good order; clean,
and with no broken or cracked insulation.
✱Replacement fuses must be of the correct size, type and rating.

OPERATION
Default Voltage measurement
The 210170 will act as a default voltmeter (0 to 600 V a.c.) with any of the
Insulation test positions selected. The ‘Test’ push must not be pressed when
making a voltage test. Note:- The 210170 is internally fuse protected to 500
V. For fuse protection with supplies above 500 V, use Fuse Probe Kit FPK5.
1. Select any Insulation test position with the rotary selector switch.
2. Carefully connect the test leads to the circuit under test. Do not press the
‘Test’push.
3. Read the voltage measurement from the voltmeter scale.
4. Carefully disconnect the test leads.
Low Resistance measurement (Ω)
1. Select Ωwith the rotary selector switch.
2. Ensure that all test leads are clean and in good condition, and connect
them to the isolated circuit under test.
3. Any pointer deflection indicates a live circuit, and testing should be
aborted.
4. Press the ‘Test’ push, and keep it pressed while turning the generator
handle.
5. Read the measurement from the kΩscale.
6. Disconnect the test leads.
Insulation Testing (MΩ)
Automatic circuit discharge is effective when the test button is released, and
decaying voltage is indicated by the scale needle until the circuit is
discharged.
1. Select MΩwith the rotary selector switch.
2. Ensure that all test leads are clean and in good condition, and connect
them to the isolated circuit under test.
3. Any pointer deflection indicates a live circuit, and testing should be
aborted.
4. Press the ‘Test’ button, and keep it pressed while turning the generator
handle.
5. Read the measurement from the MΩscale.
6. Release the ‘Test’ push and monitor any scale needle movement to
confirm when any discharging voltage decays to zero.
7. When the circuit has discharged, disconnect the test leads.

Using the Guard Terminal
For basic insulation tests and where there is little possibility of surface
leakage affecting the measurement, it is unnecessary to use the guard
terminal.
In cable testing, there may be surface leakage paths across the insulation
between the bare cable and the external sheathing due to the presence of
moisture or dirt. Where it is required to remove the effect of this leakage,
particularly at high testing voltages, a bare wire may be bound tightly around
the insulation and connected via the third test lead to the guard terminal ‘G’.
The guard terminal is at the same potential as the negative terminal. Since the
leakage resistance is effectively in parallel with the resistance to be
measured, the use of the guard causes the current flowing through surface
leakage to be diverted from the measuring circuit. The instrument therefore
reads the leakage of the insulator, ignoring leakage across its surface.

To check these fuses, short all three test leads together and set the rotary
selector switch on any Insulation test position. Press the ‘Test’ push and keep
it pressed while turning the generator handle. The needle should register
approximately 2 MΩ. A zero reading indicates that the ‘G’ fuse has ruptured.
An Infinity reading indicates that the +ve fuse has ruptured.
Fuse Replacement: Held in a screw type holder located in the base of the
instrument. Use a flat blade screwdriver to release the center part of the
holder, and remove the ruptured fuse. Replace with fuse(s) of the correct type,
size and rating.
