To avoid electri c shock, always verify the appropriate setting of the
function selector before connecting the test leads.
• When measuring insulation resistance, dangerous voltage is applied
to the measurement terminals. To avoid electric shock, do not touch
the test lead.
• Never touch the object being measured immediately after measuring.
There is a danger of electric shock from the change accumulating during high voltage testing. (See Discharge Function)
• Discharge the subject conductor after measurement.
• Do not attempt to measure insulatio n resistance on a live conductor.
Doing so could damage the instrument or cause an accident that
might result in injury or death. Always turn off power to the conductor
being measured before starting.
Preparing for Measurement

HiTESTER is not performing measurement, the high-voltage warning lamp
and indicator will flash on the display.
• Insulation resistances are unstable by nature. The readings may not stabi-
lize with some objects; this does not necessarily indicate a malfunction.
• If the object has a capacitive component, the MΩ HiTESTER may indicate a
value smaller than the actual resistance immediately after the start of measurement. The reading will gradually increase to indicate the actual resistance.
• If the function switch is turned during measurement, the MΩ HiTESTER will
stop measurement.
• If is indicated even if the measurement is performed with the tip of the
test leads short-circuited, a conductor in the test leads may be broken.
• Make sure the high-voltage warning lamp off first, and then select the Resis-
tance Measurement functions or OFF.

Discharge Function
When measuring an insulation resistance that contains a capacitance element,
a charge proportional to the rated output voltage accumulates, and if undischarged could lead to an electric shock accident.
1. End measurement without disconnecting the test leads from the object.
2. The built-in discharge circuit automatically discharges the item.
3. During discharging, the high-voltage warning lam p and indicator flash.
They will go out when the voltage falls below approximately 30 V.
4. Discharge time varies with capacity.
AC V oltage Measurement
• Test lead should only be connected to the secondary side of a
breaker, so the breaker can prevent an accident if a short circuit
occurs. Connections should never be made to the primary side of a
breaker, because unrestricted current flow could cause a serious
accident if a short circuit occurs.
• The maximum input voltage is 600 V AC. Attempting to measure voltage in excess of the maximum input could destroy the instrument
and result in personal inj ur y or de a th.
• To avoid electrical shock, be careful to avoid shorting live lines with
the test lead.
