Insulation Resistance (IR) Test


Insulation Resistance (IR) Test
Ensure that the device-under-test (DUT) is de-energized before
performing any resistance measurement.
The tester automatically detects if the circuit is energized. If
the external voltage is detected to be greater than 30 V, the
test is inhibited and the voltage hazard symbol ( ) is shown on
the display.
