Permanent current measurement 
 
  Direct reading of the current on a shunt resistance in the test circuit. 
  Display of the value on a 999 points digital indicator. 
  Accuracy : (2.5% + 2 U) of the read value (1U=0.01mA). 
In VDC accuracy is given for resistance loads > 1 M. 
 
Fault indication 
 
  By message on the LCD display, red and green LED, and audible signal (possibility to inhibit). 
  Memory storage of the breakdown voltage. 
  Memory storage of the leakage current in IMAX mode. 
  Cut off of the high voltage at the first zero crossing of the control sinusoidal signal of the HV 
transformer, thus without over voltage. 
 
Timer   
(mode) MANUAL  
 
The timer is not used during the test . The voltage output is manually controlled by pressing on the 
UP/DOWN arrows. The test stops when a breakdown occurs or when pressing on the red push 
button on the front panel. 
 
 
(mode) DEFAULT 
 
The timer is not used during the test . The voltage output is defined in the parameter VOLTAGE line. 
The test stops when a breakdown occurs or when pressing on the red push button on the front 
panel. 
 
 
(mode) AUTO 
 
The test is defined by three consecutive times during which the output voltage rises linearly up to the 
preset value ( RISE time) , then is hold to the preset value ( HOLD time) and finally bring back to 
zero ( FALL time). 
The RISE and FALL times can be set from 0 to 1 sec. by 0.1 sec. step and from 1 to 999 sec. by  
1 sec. step. 
The HOLD time can be set from 1 to 999sec. by 1 sec. step.
