Digital Megohmmeter
Model 1026
The Digital Megohmmeter Model 1026
is a compact, lightweight, battery operated, hand-held digital
megohmmeter. It is a megohmmeter
that provides four functional tests:
AC voltmeter, DC voltmeter,
ohmmeter and a continuity tester.
The Model 1026 tests at 250V, 500V
and 1000V, and measures insulation
resistance from 1kΩ to 4000MΩ.
The Model 1026 also features a
continuity test range with audible
beeper for resistances under 40Ω,
and a 600V
a c range for safety voltage

check. In addition, the Model 1026
has an ohmmeter range to measure
from 0.1Ω to 4000Ω.
The press-to-test button has an
associated locking feature for
continuous tests up to three minutes,
eliminating the need to manually
hold down the button.
Other features include: a large
3½ digit LCD for easy viewing; the
data hold button retains the value on
the display when pressed to facilitate
correct recording of information, and
a low battery indicator appears on the
LCD when it is necessary to change
batteries. This lightweight, easy-touse megohmmeter can be used for
most commonly performed insulation
tests, such as on cables, switch gear,
motors, DC generators, power tools
and small appliances.
The Model 1026 is supplied with test
leads and black and red alligator clips,
batteries and soft carrying case.
