CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Warning
Thesesafetywarningsareprovidedtoensurethesafetyofper-
sonnelandproperoperationoftheinstrument.
• Readtheinstructionmanualcompletelyandfollowallsafety
informationbeforeoperatingthisinstrument.
• Safetyistheresponsibilityoftheoperator!
• Tests are to be carried out only on non-energized circuits!
Check for live circuits before making resistance measure-
ments(safetycheck).
• The Megohmmeter Models 1035 and 1039 are sources of
highvoltage,asisthesampleconnectedtothem.Allpersons
performing or assisting in the tests must employ all safety
precautionstopreventelectricalshocktothemselvesandto
others.
• AEMC®considerstheuseofrubberglovestobeanexcellent
safety practice even if the equipment is properly operated
andcorrectlygrounded.
• Whentestingcapacitancesamples,makesurethattheyhave
been properly discharged and that they are safe to touch.
Dielectricinsulationsamplesshouldbeshort-circuitedforat
leastvetimestheamountoftimetheywereenergized.
• Megohmmetersshouldneverbeusedinanexplosiveenvi-
ronment.
• Usetheleadssuppliedwiththemegohmmeters.Iftheyare
defectiveorworn,replacebeforetesting.
• NEVER use the megohmmeters on electrical conductors
ratedabove600VinovervoltagecategoryIII(CATIII).

1.1 International Electrical Symbols
This symbol signifies that the instrument is protected by double or rein-
forced insulation.
This symbol on the instrument indicates a WARNING and that the operator
must refer to the user manual for instructions before operating the
instrument. In this manual, the symbol preceding instructions indicates that
if the instructions are not followed, bodily injury, installation/sample and
product damage may result.
Risk of electric shock. The voltage at the parts marked with this symbol may
be dangerous.
In conformity with WEEE 2002/96/EC
1.2 Definition of Measurement Categories
CAT I: FormeasurementsoncircuitsnotdirectlyconnectedtotheAC
supply wall outlet such as protected secondaries, signal level,
andlimitedenergycircuits.
CAT II: For measurements performed on circuits directly connected to
the electrical distribution system. Examples are measurements
onhouseholdappliancesorportabletools.
CAT III: For measurements performed in the building installation at
the distribution level such as on hardwired equipment in xed
installationandcircuitbreakers.
CAT IV: For measurements performed at the primary electrical supply
(<1000V) such as on primary overcurrent protection devices,
ripplecontrolunits,ormeters.
1.3 Receiving Your Shipment
Uponreceivingyourshipment,makesurethatthecontentsareconsistent
with the packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the
equipmentappearstobedamaged,leaclaimimmediatelywiththecar-
rierandnotifyyourdistributoratonce,givingadetaileddescriptionofany
damage.Savethedamagedpackingcontainertosubstantiateyourclaim.
Donotuseaninstrumentthatappearstobedamaged.

• measurementofthecapacitanceofatelephoneline
• currentmeasurement
• measurement of the pure alternating component of a DC
voltage
These megohmmeters help to ensure the safety of electrical and tele-
phoneinstallations.Theacquisition,processinganddisplayofthemea-
surementsaremanagedbyamicroprocessor.Theyofferawiderangeof
advantagessuchas:
• automaticdetectionofthepresenceofadangerousvoltage
ontheterminalsinMΩranges(allinsulationmeasurement
blockedifV>25V)
• protectionoftheinstrumentagainstexternalvoltagesurges
• operatorsafetybymeansofautomaticdischargeofthehigh
voltageontheequipmenttested
• displayofthedifferencecomparedtoameasurementvalue
in memory
• measurementofthelengthofatelephonelineaccordingto
itscapacitanceperkmunitlength(1039)
• automaticshutdownoftheinstrumenttosavethebatteries
andindicationofthebatterycharge
• fusetestingbyperiodicchecksduringcurrentmeasurement
