Function Built-in printer (Optional feature)
In order to enable the printing function press key 0 before to start the test. Measured values will be printed each 15
seconds, and the Dielectric Absorption Index and Polarization Index will be printed when they becomes ready (after 1
minute and 10 minutes respectively). Printing may be started or stopped at any time during the test.
Auto power-off
After some minutes operation the instrument turns itself off automatically, thanks to its unique "auto-power-off"
system.
Operation step by step
1.
Check if there is no differences of potential voltage
between across the points where the megohmmeter
shall will be connected to, nor between them and the
ground.
2.
Connect the red security terminal (red cable) to the
megohmmeter (-V)! terminal.
3.
Connect the black cable to the megohmmeter (+R)"
terminal.
4.
The green terminal (GUARD) will not be always used.
Application Note #32 explains the usage of Guard ter-
minal for minimising the parasite resistance effect,
whose influence one intends to minimise. If the meas-
urement is performed between two parts, which are not
grounded (for example: a transformer high and low volt-
age windings), the megohmmeter Guard terminal will be
grounded for defining the instrument potential. When-
ever a measurement is performed, the +R or the guard
terminal will be grounded, but not both simultaneously.
If none of these terminals are grounded, the megohm-
meter can be subjected to a higher potential, hazardous
to the operator; and the reading can result unstable and
unreliable. If both terminals are simultaneously
grounded, they will be short-circuited, and the me-
gohmmeter will not perform the measurement.
5.
Connect the free ends of the cables in use (red and black jaw connectors) to the element to be measured.
6.
Press the ON/OFF1 switch.

Initially the display will indicate: CIRCUTOR MD-5060e
