1.1 Product Introduction
(1) Easy testing conforming to standards
With the unit insulation-resistance and withstand-voltage tests based on a
wide variety of standards can be performed. Accurate test results can be
obtained by comparative screening functions that use upper- and lower-limit
values, timer functions, and ramp up/down timer functions that control testvoltage increases/decreases.
(2) Automatic insulation-resistance testing and withstand-voltage
testing
The Continuous Test mode allows consecutive insulation-resistance and
withstand-voltage tests to be performed.

3. Connect the LOW terminal probe to the tested object. Fasten the probe
securely to prevent it from loosening during a test.
4. Following the procedure described above, connect the HIGH terminal
probe to the tested object.
Note that taking measurements or routing cables in a humid location may cause
errors in insulation-resistance tests.
If the HIGH and LOW voltage output terminals short-circuit or a dielectric
breakdown occurs in the tested object during the test, noise will be generated and
such noise may lead to a malfunction of this unit or of a nearby electronic device.
If this problem occurs, connect a ferrite core or a resistor to the H. V. TEST
LEAD (high voltage side).
When using a resistor, choose one appropriate for the power rating and withstand
voltage. Also, be alert to any drop in test voltage.
Beware of electric shock when connecting the resistor.
Do not the test lead and the EXT/IO cable arranged closely to each other.
Doing so may lead to a malfunction of the external control due to a noise.
Additionally, if the test lead touches to other metallic parts, it may cause an
increase in leakage current.
Prevent the test lead from coming into contact with other parts as much as
ossible.
