6. How to perform tests
ATTENTION: Please, never connect or disconnect the test leads with the
equipment under operation or while the High Voltage LED is on. If there is
a need to modify the connections, this should be done with the equipment
powered-off and with discharged potentials (High Voltage LED off)
Press
key. The high voltage LED turns on immediately, indicating
that the equipment internal generator is applying voltage to the element
that is being tested. The display will show the test number, the selected
voltage value and it will start the elapsed time count. For a few seconds,
the auto-range system will search for the most convenient range for the
value being measured. If the measured value is within the device range,
the display will show the resistance value indication and its corresponding
unit, and it will start the analogue bargraph indication.
If the measured value exceeds 5 TΩ@ 5 kV, the following message will
be read:
Note: If, during the test, it is necessary to change the test voltage, item
sequence shall be repeated
