IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read entire Safety Notes section regarding potential hazard and proper instructions before using this meter. In this manual the word “WARNING” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word “CAUTION” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument.

WARNING

To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.

WARNING

• Before each use, verify meter operation by measuring a known voltage.

• Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the category based rating of this meter.

• Do not use this meter during electrical storms or in wet weather.

• Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear damaged.

• Ensure meter leads are fully seated and keep ﬁngers away from the metal probe contact when making measurements. Always grip the leads behind the ﬁnger guards molded into the probe.

• Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes are connected.

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock, replace batteries if a low battery indicator appears.

• Unless measuring voltage, shut off and lockout power before measuring resistance.

• Always adhere to national and local safety codes. Use proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

• Always turn off power to a circuit or assembly under test before cutting, unsoldering or breaking the current path. Even small amounts of current can be dangerous.

• Always disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead from the circuit.

• In the event of electrical shock, ALWAYS bring the victim to the emergency room for evaluation, regardless of victim’s apparent recovery. Electrical shock can cause unstable heart rhythms that may need medical attention.

• If any of the following occur during testing, turn off the power source to the circuit being tested: arching, ﬂame, smoke, extreme heat, smell of burning materials or discoloration or melting of components.

WARNING

Higher voltages require greater awareness of physical safety hazards. Before connecting the test leads; turn off power to the circuit under test, set meter to the desired function and range; connect the test leads to the meter ﬁrst, then connect to the circuit under test. Reapply power. If an erroneous reading is observed, disconnect power immediately and recheck all settings and connections.

WARNING

This meter is designed for trade professionals who are familiar with the hazards of their trade. Observe all recommended safety procedures that include proper lockout utilization and use of personal protective equipment that includes safety glasses, gloves and ﬂame resistant clothing.

The IRT807 is equipped with an AC “low-pass” ﬁlter. When measuring AC voltage press the Select Button to activate the “low pass” ﬁlter function. The meter continues to measure in the selected AC mode, but the signal passes through the ﬁlter that blocks any unwanted frequencies above 1kHz. The “low-pass” ﬁlter can improve measurement performance on composite sine waves that are typically generated by frequency motor drives and inverters.

WARNING

Capacitors should be completely discharged prior to testing. Some electronic devices use capacitors in circuits that are designed to increase voltage. By design, a capacitor stores energy. If a capacitor has been charged at greater than 600 volts, attempting to measure it may damage your meter. Larger capacitors may store enough energy to cause injury if they are discharged through the body. Use a conductive device to dissipate the charge on capacitors. Large capacitors should be “bled” by using a resistive load between terminals to slowly eliminate the charge. Smaller capacitors may be directly shorted using a metallic object.

WARNING

Never connect the test leads across (in parallel with) a voltage source when attempting to measure current. This can cause damage to the circuit under test or this meter.

Note: To measure current, you must create a break in the circuit under test and make the meter part of the circuit. Two connection points are created when a circuit is broken. On one side is the power source and the other is the load.

NOTE: Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of additional operating circuits connected in parallel or transient currents.

1. Insert test leads into the Zero/Ω and Com input ports.

2. Turn the rotary dial selector to the Zero/Ω position.

3. Short the test leads together. Press the SELECT Button and wait until ZERO appears on the display. The tester measures the

probes resistance, stores the value in memory and subtracts it from tests. The probes resistance is saved even when the tester is powered off. If the probe resistance is >2Ω, the resistance will not be saved.

4. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be tested. The tester will automatically detect if the circuit is energized.

5. The dashes (----) will display until the TEST Button is pressed and a valid resistance value is detected.

6.The High Voltage symbol will display if greater than 2V AC/DC is present.

If this is happens, the test is corrupted. Disconnect the test leads and remove power before testing again.

7. Press and hold the TEST Button on the Meter or Remote Probe to start the test. The TEST symbol will appear on the display until the TEST Button is released. The resistance value is displayed until a new test is started or a different function or range is selected.

• Press and hold the TEST button on the Meter or the Remote Probe to start the test. During testing, the display shows the test voltage applied to the circuit under test. The high voltage symbol along with display showing resistance in MΩ or GΩ, the TEST icon appears on the lower portion of the display until the test is ﬁnished.

• To interrupt PI or DAR test before it is completed, press TEST button. When you release the TEST button, the circuit under test will automatically be discharged through the tester.

Polarization Index (PI) is the ratio of the 10-minute insulation resistance to the 1 minute insulation resistance. Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) is the ratio of the 1-minute insulation resistance to the 30-second insulation resistance.

WARNING

• Insulation tests should only be performed on de-energized circuits.

To measure polarization index or dielectric absorption ration;

• Use insulation and COM Input ports.

NOTE: Because of the time required to perform the PI and DAR tests, use of alligator clips is recommended.

• Set rotary function dial to INSULATION position and press

RANGE button to select desired voltage.

• Press the PI/DAR button to select PI or DAR.

• The display shows “----” until TEST button

is pressed

and a valid resistance is obtained.

Test Lead Notes

CATIV 600V Measurement Locations

4mm

• Ensure the test lead shield is pressed ﬁrmly in place. Failure to use the CAT IV shield increases arc-ﬂash risk.

CAT II Measurement Locations

18mm

• CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This will allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall outlets. Take care not to lose the shields.

WARNING: Test Lead category protections apply only to test leads and should not be confused with the meter’s speciﬁc

CAT rating. Observe the maximum category protection indicated on the meter the test leads are plugged into.
