Handsfree
Handsfree Insulation Testing.
To enable the Handsfree feature simply press the ‘Handsfree’ button once, The ‘Handsfree’
annunciator will appear flashing on the display and will continue to do so until cancelled
by a further press of the 'Handsfree' button or by changing the function selector switch.
When the ‘Handsfree’ annunciator is flashing a single press of the test button will toggle
continuous testing on and o.
Once started a steady beeping tone will be emitted to indicate that measurement is being
taken. After a second or two the test result will be displayed in the primary display area
and an audible tone will indicate either by a single beep that the result is a value above
2MΩ or by a short 2 tone alarm that the result is a value under 2MΩ. The secondary
display area will show the terminal voltage being applied.
The tester will continue to take the measurement and any further change to the resistance
of the circuit will be indicated by an audible tone as described above and a change of
result on the display.
Whilst testing in handsfree mode the red warning LED will flash to warn of the voltage
between the prod tips/crocodile clips.
A further single press of the test button will suspend measurement.
