Analog Insulation, Low Resistance and Voltage Measurement Instrument
Applications
The insulation and resistance measuring instrument allows for
quick and efficient testing of protective measures in accordance
with DIN VDE 0100, ÖVE-EN 1 (Austria), NIV/NIN SEV 1000
(Switzerland), and regulations specific to other countries as well.
The instrument complies with IEC/EN 61557 / VDE 0413 regula-
tions:
Part 1: General requirements
Part 2: Insulation resistance
Part 4: Resistance of earth connection, protective conductors
and equipotential bonding
Part 10: Electrical safety in low-voltage systems up to 1000 V AC
and 1500 V DC – Equipment for testing, measuring or
monitoring of protective measures
As well as requirements per VDE 0701-0702:
Repair, modification and testing of electrical devices,
The insulation measuring instrument is suitable for the following tasks:
Measurement of insulation resistance at voltage-free devices
and systems, up to 1000 V depending upon variant
Checking of test objects for absence of voltage in systems
with up to 1 kV
Testing of the resistance of earthing conductors, protective
conductors and equipotential bonding
Testing of electrostatic discharge capacity for floor coverings
(using shielded measurement cables) – EN 1081
Intelligent filter
Precise and measurement-dependent activation for the measure-
ment of very high resistances with
beating, i. e. compensation of 16

Overview of Included Features
Discharging Capacitive Devices Under Test
Capacitive devices under test such as cables and coils, which
may be charged with test voltage, are discharged by the measur-
ing instrument. The falling voltage value can be observed at the
display.
