Frequently Asked Questions - PDM1529S Sanwa

What type of battery does the Sanwa PDM1529S use?

The tester uses one 9V alkaline battery, type 6LF22 (also known as 6LR61). Always use alkaline batteries for best performance.

How do I check the battery condition?

Turn the function knob to DC 60 V / BATTERY CHECK and press the MΩ measuring switch. The pointer should indicate within the BATTERY CHECK scale. Do not check for more than 5 seconds.

What is the rated measuring voltage for insulation resistance?

The PDM1529S offers three rated voltages: 250 V, 500 V, and 1000 V. Select the voltage closest to the circuit's operating voltage.

How do I measure insulation resistance?

First ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect the black lead to EARTH and red to LINE. Select the desired MΩ range, connect clips to the object, press the MΩ switch, read the scale, then release the switch and discharge by keeping leads connected until pointer returns to infinity.

What safety precautions should I take when using this tester?

Never apply voltage above 600 V AC or 60 V DC. Always discharge capacitive objects after MΩ measurement. Use insulated gloves and follow local safety regulations. Keep fingers behind the probe barrier.

Can the PDM1529S measure AC voltage?

Yes, it can measure sinusoidal AC voltages up to 600 V (50/60 Hz). Set the function knob to AC 600 V, connect leads, and read the ACV scale.

How do I measure DC voltage?

Set the knob to DC 60 V. Connect black lead to negative and red to positive. Read the DCV scale. Maximum input is 60 V DC.

What does the discharge function do?

After measuring insulation resistance, the tester automatically discharges high voltage stored in capacitive objects. Keep the MΩ switch off but leads connected until the pointer returns to infinity (zero on MΩ scale).

How do I replace the battery?

Turn the function knob to OFF. Remove the two screws on the battery lid. Replace the 9V alkaline battery (6LF22) connected to the snap terminal. Reattach lid and screws.

What is the accuracy of the insulation resistance measurement?

In the 1st effective measurement range, accuracy is ±5% of reading. In the 2nd effective range (lower resistance), accuracy is ±10% of reading. For 0.0x scale it's ±0.7% of scale length.

6.2 How to Check the Battery (BATTERY CHECK)

Prior to MO (insulation resistance) measurement, be sure to check the battery. A consumed battery will cause not only measurement errors but danger due to erroneous measurement.

Do not check the battery for more than 5 seconds.

6.4 Discharge Function

1) Reason of a need to discharge

For safety, high voltage remaining in capacitive measuring objects such as capacitors and electric wire must be discharged to prevent accidents.

2) Discharging method

This procedure follows the step ④ of 6.3-4
① When the MO measurement has been completed, turn off only the MO measuring switch with the test pin and the alligator clip connected to the measuring object.
② Then the pointer deflects to the right and its deflection becomes smaller as time passes (indicating the charged charge is being discharged).
③ When the pointer stops at zero ( of the MO scale) and discharge has been completed, conduct the steps ① and ② of 8.3-4

6.5 Measurement of ACV (AC voltage) (Measuring range is the AC 600 V range only).

⚠ WARNING

1. Do not apply a voltage exceeding the maximum rated voltage of 800 VAC.
2. During measurement, do not operate the function control knob.
3. Do not measure a voltage with the MO measuring switch being pressed or raised.
4. When the circuit to measure has a breaker, measure the voltage on the secondary side (load side).
5. To prevent electric shock, do not touch the metal part of the pin plug and clip.

1) Measuring object

Sinusoidal AC voltages (ACV) such as lighting line voltages can be measured. 2) Measuring method

① Insert the black measuring cord to which the black alligator clip (or black pin-type adapter) is attached into the EARTH (ground) measuring terminal, and the red measuring cord to which the red pin-type adapter is attached into the LINE measuring terminal.

6.3 Measurement of MΩ (Insulation Resistance)

WARNING

1. Never apply a voltage to the measuring terminal when the tester is in the MO measuring range.

2. Prior to measurement, disconnect the measuring object (circuit) from the power supply

3. Prior to measurement, make sure no voltage is applied to the circuit to measure by the AC 600 V range.

4. During measurement, a high voltage is generated. Do not touch the test pin, clip and measuring object.

5. The tester and measured circuit have been charged by high voltage immediately after the measurement. Be careful not to get electric shock.

6. There is a possibility of an accident of electric shock. After the measurement, be sure to discharge the high voltage charged in the measuring object. (See 6.4 Discharge Function)

△ CAUTION

When the object measured is grounded, usually connect the block EARTH (ground) test lead to the grounded side and the red LINE test lead to the circuit. (When this connection is used, a measurement value becomes smaller than a value obtained by the reverse connection.)

1. To prevent a measuring error, keep the test lead connected to the LINE side out of contact with the measuring object and ground (earth).
2. The insulation resistance varies largely depending on temperature and humidity. It is also influenced by a voltage to apply (measuring voltage). Normally as temperature, humidity and voltage increase, the insulation resistance decreases.

-7-

CAUTION

② Turn the function control knob to
AC 600 V. ① Connect the black aligator clip to the earth (grounding) side of the object measured, and connect the tip of the red pin-type adapter to the charging side of the object measured.
④ Read the indicated value on the ACV scale.
⑤ First remove the red test pin from the object measured, and then disconnect the black alligator clip from it.
⑥ Turn the function control knob to the position of OFF.

6.6 Measurement of DCV (DC voltage) (Measuring range is the DC 60 V range on)

WARNING

1. Do not apply a voltage exceeding the maximum rated voltage of 60 VDC.
2. Keep in round the warnings at 5.5 described earlier.
   1) Measuring object DC voltages of batteries, etc., can be measured. Also, the tester can be used to check the presence of DC voltage prior to MO measurement. 2) Measuring method ① Insert the black measuring cord to which the black alignator clip (or black pin-type adapter) is attached into the EARTH ground measuring terminal, and the red measuring cord to which the red pin-type adapter is attached into the LINE measuring terminal.
