Sub-display
Indicates:
• Comparator setting value or
the storage number; or
• The storage number for memory.
Indicates the unit for
insulation resistance for comparator.
Lit when:
• Pressing the MEAS key in
insulation resistance measurement; and
• Residual electrical charges are present
during discharging.
Lit when the comparator is activated.
Lit when the measured
insulation resistance is lower than
the comparator setting value.
Lit when the memory feature is in use.
Indicates the unit for
AC voltage measurement.
Indicates the unit for insulation resistances.
Indicates the unit for
conductor resistance measurement.
Indicates the continuity mark,
which is lit when the measured
insulation resistance is lower than 40 Ω.
The extension bar graph shows how
the measured value is changing
(trend) as follows:
Note that the number of marks means
the degree of change.
■ Overrange Display Functions
OL Display
The tester displays the OL mark when the measured resistance exceeds
the following values.
Insulation resistance measurement:
For1000Vand500Vratings:2000MΩ
For250Vand125Vratings:200MΩ
Conductorresistancemeasurement:400Ω
Display
The tester displays the mark when the internal calculation exceeds
the following values.
Insulation resistance measurement:
For1000Vand500Vratings:approx.4000MΩ
For250Vand125Vratings:approx.400MΩ
Change to Upper/Lower Ranges
•Toupperrange
When the digital reading exceeds 4000,
the measuring range changes to the next upper range.
•Tolowerrange
When the digital reading falls below 360,
the measuring range changes to the next lower range.
Lower Resolution Display
If the digits below the decimal point are not stable,
they can be automatically omitted to limit the resolution.
10. Before Measurement
1. Safety

11.4 Connecting the Line Probe
Bringthelineprobeintocontactwiththemeasuredobject,andthen
press the
key. The display indicates the insulation resistance of
themeasuredobject.
During measurement, exercise care to prevent the leadwire of the line probe from
comingintocontactwiththeground,oororanyotherobject.
Not observing this precaution may result in a failure to measure the correct
insulation resistance.
