WARRANTY

The 'SHANTI' Insulation Tester series is a universal portable

self powered multipurpose instrument with its own brushless AC

voltage generator for checking insulation resistance in the
electrical and electronic fields. This rugged, precision instrument
can locate intermittent shorts, defective electrical connections,

insulation breakdowns or conductor failure due to wear, moisture,

abrasion, deterioration, corrosion or other hostile environmental .

factors.

ITS series insulation tester can be used for locating and trouble

shooting insulation related problems. The insulation tester is also
useful for preventive maintenance. Testing before break down occurs

can greatly reduce further damages and break down time. It will

also reduce periodic overhaul expenses by revealing the electrical

condition of wiring and components which might otherwise be

replaced unnecessarily.

The ITS series insulation tester is the culmination of many years

of 'SHANTI' experience in manufacturing Insulation Testers. The

accuracy is as per clause 9.1of IS 2992. The case is PC molded.

A pair of ‘-’ (Earth) and ‘+’ (Line) terminal socket is provided for
standard probe sets. The generator is driven by a collapsible
permanently tted crank (which folds parallel to the body while
not in use). Self lubricating moulded gears and oil impregnated

bushes are used to eliminate mechanical maintenance of the
generator. It incorporates the 'SHANTI' moving coil movement. The
generator and movement are of heavy duty construction to
provide long periods of trouble free operation.

apparatus or lines to be tested. NEVER MAKE ANY CONNECTION

TO LIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS OR EQUIPMENT. When carrying out
an insulation test between a circuit and the ground, connect the
‘+’ terminal of the tester to the circuit and ‘-’terminal to the

ground.

BEFORE MEASUREMENT

MEASUREMENT

INTRODUCTION

APPLICATION

CONSTRUCTION

Place the Insulation Tester on horizontal level surface & ensure

Connect ‘-’ terminal to earth and ‘+’ to Line. Rotate the handle
at 160 RPM. Pointer on scale will read out the insulation resistance
value directly.

that pointer is pointing to ‘ ’ mark on scale. If not adjust the green

colored zero knob so that pointer points to ‘ ’ mark on the scale.

Now rotate the handle at 160 RPM and boserve the pointer. It should

not deviate from ‘ ’ by more than 0.7mm.

If below mentioned care is taken, the instrument can provide

many years of trouble free service. Like any precision test instrument
the “SHANTI” Tester should not be stored in a place with excessive

dampness, humidity, vibration or heat. Avoid locations where
corrosive gases, oil vapors, moisture, dust, temperature extremes
exist.

A hand driven generator provides the necessary voltage for

the measuring operation. All the components are integrally
enclosed within the same casing. The tester is designed so that
the operator is only required to connect the articles under test
to the terminals and turn the handle of generator. The insulation
resistance value is measured and read out directly on calibrated
meter. To facilitate accurate readout, select the place free from
vibration for the measuring operation.

PRECAUTIONS

Before connecting the test leads of tester, always make certain

that all electrical power is disconnected from the
