2 Applications The METRISO1000A insulation tester complies with DIN VDE 0413 “Regulations for Devices for the Testing of Protective Measures in Electrical Systems” Part 1: insulation testers, and Part 4: ohmmeters. It is suitable for the measurement of insulation resistance at voltage-free devices and systems with nominal voltages of up to 1000 V, as well as for testing resistance at earthing conductors, protective conductors and bonding conductors including their connections and terminals.
4 Measuring Direct and Alternating Voltage Direct voltages and sinusoidal alternating voltages with frequencies ranging from 40 to 200 Hz can be measured with this instrument. Needle deflection is always positive for direct voltage measurements regardless of polarity at the terminal connections. Alternating voltage is displayed as an RMS value. ➭ Set the function selector switch to the “1000 V” position. ➭ Make certain that the needle points to the “0” mark at the V scale in the idle state.
5.2 Evaluation of Measurement Values In order to assure that insulation resistance values do not fall below those required by DIN VDE regulations, insulation tester inherent deviation must be taken into consideration. Required minimum display values for insulation resistance which take maximum operational measurement deviation of the METRISO1000A into consideration (under nominal conditions of use) can be determined with the following table.

8 Maintenance ! Attention! Completely disconnect the instrument from all external electrical circuits before replacing the batteries or the fuse. We recommend setting the function selector switch to the 1000 V position during transport and maintenance, in order to prevent the tester from being switched on inadvertently. 8.1 Batteries The condition of the batteries should be checked from time to time. A dead or deteriorating battery must be removed from the battery compartment.
8.5 Carrying Bag The measuring instrument can be securely fixed in the bag by pulling the carrying strap of the instrument through the internal studs situated on the right and left of the housing. The studs can be released for this purpose on one side by pressing the silver push-buttons. The flap of the bag serves as a place for keeping documents, or else, for example, as a writing pad (see Figure 1).
