Key features
- Insulation resistance up to 10 TΩ at 5 kV, ±5% accuracy up to 1 TΩ
- Test modes IR, timed IR, DAR and PI
- Patented PI predictor function (PIp): predicts the 10-minute PI, starting as early as 3 minutes into the test; cuts PI test time by up to 50%
- RE>Act mode shows when insulation is ready to retest, avoiding errors from residual reabsorption current, and monitors discharge to avoid dangerous return voltages
- 3 mA noise immunity for typical industrial or distribution-level sites up to 45 kV
- Fixed 3 mA burn / charge current
- High-performance guard terminal
- Custom colour display, two rotary switches, quick start guide in the lid
- Five levels of voltage warning; live circuit detection and locking terminals
- Dual-case design: tough outer case and fire retardant inner case; IP65 with the lid closed
- Operates from battery or AC mains; 30-minute quick charge gives 1 hour of testing at 5 kV
- No onboard storage
- Safety rated CAT IV 600 V to 3000 m
