* The M.O measuring switch is turned on by the following operation. ① ON only when the right end of the lever is pressed with a finger. OFF when the finger is released.
Continuously GN when the left end of the lever is raised. (OFF when it is laid down)

- Meter zero position adjustment
If the meter pointer is not on the = graduation line of the MΩ scale when the function control knob is at OFF, adjust the zero position with a screwdriver.

REFERENCE
The MΩ measurement should be performed as quickly as possible to prevent the internal parts from heating. Particularly, when measuring resistance between 0 MΩ to the center of scale, perform each measurement within 20 seconds and leave an equivalent interval to the measuring time before proceeding to the subsequent measurement. The no-load voltage is within 1.25 times the rated measuring voltage.
1) Measuring object
Measurement of insulation resistance (MΩ) of electric equipment and circuits.
2) Rated measuring voltage
| Model | Rated measuring voltage |
| DM509S 500 V | |
| DM1009S | 1000 V |
| PDM509S | 500 V |
S) Selection of a measuring range
Turn the function control knob to (MΩ) / AC 600 V position.
4) Measuring method
① Power off the measuring object.
3 Insert the black measuring cord to which the black aligator 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.
③ Turn the function control knob to a desired rated measuring voltage range.
3) Connect the black alligator clip to the object measured. Usually connect the EARTH (ground) measuring terminal to the grounding side
⑨ Connect the tip of the red pin-type adapter to the other side of the object measured.
△ CAUTION: If the meter deflects in this state, the measuring object is charged. Be sure to remove the voltage prior to measurement.

How To Use Carrying Case
During measurement, set the case as illustrated and hang it from the neck.

[5] Measuring Method
5.1 Start-up Check
WARNING
- Do not use a damaged tester or test lead.
- Make sure test lead wiring is not broken.
- When testing the continuity of a test load, the measuring terminals are under a high voltage. Be careful of electric shock.
- To prevent electric shock and battery consumption, be sure to turn the MΩ measuring switch and function control knob to OFF after measurement.
42
④ Turn on the MΩ measuring switch.
(See [4] Description of Function)
⑦ Read the indicated value. Use the
① Turn on the M2 measuring switch.
- Discharge the high voltage charged in the measuring object. See 5.4 Discharge Function
(1) First remove the red test pin from the object measured, and then disconnect the black elevator pin.
⑪ Be sure to turn the function control knob to the position of OFF.

CAUTION
- Rated measuring voltage should be selected by a measuring object. For example, 125 V rated measuring voltage should be used for the object, AC input voltage of which is 100 V.
- Remove components such as semi conductors and apparatuses from the circuit of measuring object to avoid damages when withstand of the object is unknown or lower than rated measuring voltage of a resistance insulation tester, especially in case of the objects you measure connected with PCs or computers.

5.2 How to Check Battery (BATTERY CHECK)
Prior to MΩ (insulation resistance) measurement, be sure to check the battery. A consumed battery will cause not only measurement errors but danger due to erroneous measurement.
For checking methods, refer to 5.1 Start-up Check.
Do not check the battery for more than 5 seconds.
y
5.4 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 ⑧ of 5.3-4) ① When the MΩ measurement has been completed, turn off only the MΩ 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).
② When the pointer steps at zero (wof the MO scale) and discharge has been completed, conduct the steps ⑩ and ⑪ of 5.3-4)
5.5 Measurement of DCV (DC voltage) (Measuring range is the DV 60 V range only)
-
Do not apply a voltage exceeding the maximum rated voltage of 80 VDC.
-
Keep in mind the warnings of 5.8 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 3. not tested result
the: the clock measuring cord of which the block a ignor clip for clock pin-type adoption is attached into the EARTH ground measuring terminal, and the red measuring cord as which the red pin-type oscillator is attached into the LINE measuring terminal.
② Turn the function control knob to DC 60 V. ③ Connect the black alligator clip to the side of the object (circuit) measured,
and connect the tip of the red pin-type adapter to the + side. Good be indicated value on the DCU scale.
⑥ First remove the rad test pin from the object measure, and then
⑥ Turn the function control knob to the position of OFF.

5.3 Measurement of MΩ (Insulation Resistance)
WARNING
- Never apply a voltage to the measuring terminal when the tester is in the MΩ measuring range.
- Prior to measurement, disconnect the measuring object (circuit) from the power supply.
- Prior to measurement, make sure no voltage is applied to the circuit to measure by the AC 650V range
- During measurement, a high voltage is generated. Do not touch the test pin, clip and measuring object.
- The tester and measured circuit have been charged by high voltage immediately after the measurement. Be careful not to get electric shock.
- 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 5.4 Discharge Function)
CAUTION
- When the object measured is grounded, usually connect the black EARTH (ground) test load to the grounded side and the red LINE test load to the circuit. (When this connection is used, a measurement value becomes smaller than a value obtained by the reverse connection.)
- To prevent a measuring error, keep the test lead connected to the LINE side out of contact with the measuring object and ground (earth).
- 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.
√
5.6 Measurement of ACV (AC voltage) (Measuring range is the AC 600 V range only)
WARNING
- Do not apply a voltage exceeding the maximum rated voltage of 800 VAC.
- During measurement, do not operate the function control knob.
-
Do not measure a voltage with the MΩ measuring switch being pressed or eased.
-
When the circuit to measure has a breeder, measure the voltage on the secondary side (load side).
-
To prevent electric shock, do not touch the metal part of the pin plug and clip.
CAUTION
AC voltages of waveforms other than sinusoidal waveforms and frequencies other than _1 to fill Hz will cause an indication over
In the case of the first time, the 15th class A2 was called in the first class.
1) Measuring object
Sinucleolar AC voltages (ACV)
such as lighting line voltages
can be measured.
2) Measuring method
(-) Insert the black measuring cord to which the back oscillator of the rear back on-type adapter is attached into the EARTH (ground measuring terminal, and the red measuring cord to which the rear pin-type scooter is attached into the LINE measuring terminal.
② Turn the function control knob to AC 600 V.
③ Connect the black alligator clip to the earth (grounding) side of
the object measured, and connect the tip of the red pin-type
④. Read the indicated value on the ACV scale.
② First remove the red test pin from the object measured, and
then disconnect the black aligator clip from it.
① Turn the function control knob to the position of OFF.
