SAFETY RULES
CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK
This tester has been designed with your safety in mind. However, no design can completely protect against
incorrect use. Electrical circuits can be dangerous and/or lethal when lack of caution or poor safety practices is
used.
Do not carry out field measurements on either the power system grounding, during periods of forecast lightning
activity, in areas that encompass the station being measured or of the power network connected to the station
being measured. In the event that lightning occurs, stop all testing and isolate any temporarily installed test
spikes.
Preparations for testing of power system grounding can leave personnel vulnerable to exposure caused by
faults at or fed from the system under test, transferred potentials from remote test grounds, and inadvertent line
energisations.
While the probability of the occurrence of one of these events is low, personnel safety will, nevertheless, be
enhanced by the following:
•When working near high tension systems rubber gloves and shoes should be worn.
•Work on clean, dry crushed rock or an insulating blanket.
•Avoid bare hand to hand contact between the tester and extended test leads.
•When using the tester with test leads, ensure that they are safe and properly authorized
•Disconnect the tester from any external circuit when checking or changing the Fuse and/or batteries.
CAUTION READ THE MANUAL
Follow the instructions in the Manual for every measurement. Read and understand the general instructions
before attempting to use this tester.
SAFETY CHECK
Before using the tester check the condition of the test leads and the fuses.
The test leads must be free of cracks or any damages and must be insulated as when they were new.
Fuse replacement is described later in this user's manual..
When changing the fuses by removing the cover to access the internal circuitry, always disconnect the
test leads.
When replacing the fuse use only the type specified, HBC fuse, and insert correctly into the fuse holder.
Always double check the lead connections before making any measurements.
For increased safety, use fused test leads (optional).
DON'T TOUCH
Don't touch exposed wiring, connections or other "Live" parts of an electrical circuit. If in doubt, check the circuit
first for voltage before touching it.

[email protected]
Do not use cracked of broken test leads.
THIS INSTRUMENT SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY A
COMPETENT, SUITABLY TRAINED PERSON.

BRIEF PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Insulation Tester has all the basic features needed to check and certify an electrical installation. The
buzzer feature is always ON.
The Batteries are tested at startup.
It complies to all good Standards.
The Test Button is utilized to switch the Instrument On as well as to start or stop the test.
It is also utilized to accept a selection and to disable the EnerSave feature.
In order to use te PI and DAR function on this tester, the EnerSave need to be disabled.
To disable EnerSave, the user need, while starting a test, to depress the TEST key for more than 3 Seconds.
After 3 Seconds, a short beep will be heard, meaning that EnerSave has been disabled.
Once EnerSave is disabled, the test duration can go for as long as 10 minutes.
At any time, the test can be stopped by depressing the Test key again.
The Ohm Key is a multi-purpose key, you press it to select the Continuity Test, then you use it too to Auto-mull
the test leads and fuse there is an automatic Voltmeter which is accessed after start up.
The Voltmeter is the default mode of this instrument.
For Insulation Testing, the user can select the test voltage of 250V, 500V and 1000Vdc.
The Multifunction Tester has the features of the Insulation Tester plus the MOV and GAS Arrester Test.
To access the MOV test, You need the depress the 1000V and 500V keys o access the GAS Arrester T need to
depress the 250V and Ohm Key simultaneously.
The Multifunction T everything You'll ever W electrical Test and Measuring tool. Before any test is performed,
(provided the test leads are connected properly and the fuse is intact) it make a voltage test to assert that there
is no voltage on the device or circuit under test.
If there is a voltage which could be a problem for the test, the tester, automatically, switch to the Voltmeter and
shows the voltage on the display. Be it AC or DC.
If voltage is present on the leads before test is started, the selected test is cancelled and the keypad is disabled,
preventing errors of operation. This makes this tester one of the safest to operate to date.
Once any voltage is cleared, test can begin. Should you want to measure Insulation Resistance, you can select
by using the 250V, 500V and the 1kV test Voltage which all go into the Giga-Ohm range. Should you want to
test continuity, use the Low ohms scale, down to 0.01Ohm and also the buzzer.
You can null the fuse and test leads using the Auto-Null feature. Of Course on this model, Auto-hold is featured.
You will appreciate the superior Safety of Auto-Hold when you decide to visually look after your arms and
fingers without needing to check the display. Auto-Hold is always turned ON and with it, you can simply touch
the voltage and remove the test probes. The last valid voltage will be on the display when you want to see it.
While Dangerous voltages are present on the leads, it beep too, signaling the user that he is touching
dangerous voltage.
NOTES
FEATURES
ON Key.
When Depressing the ON button, the tester starts up. The tester will automatically make a battery test (under
load condition) and display the results.
After that, the voltmeter is automatically selected. If voltage is present, the tester will automatically display it on
the display and disable all other features until the voltage is removed from the terminals.
Battery Test
There is no battery Key, but a Controlled Load is switched ON automatically during starting of the tester.
That Load draws some current from the battery.
While drawing that current, the battery voltage is measured and displayed.
To do an other "under load" battery test, you will need to re-start the tester.
The battery is monitored constantly while the tester is operating. Should the battery be low, the low battery
indicator will lit up on the display.
Voltmeter
There is no Voltmeter Key as this is the default mode of this instrument.
The tester switch to the voltmeter mode after start-up.
This is an automatic AC/DC voltmeter.

[email protected]
This mode is the default mode of the tester, meaning that it's monitoring the leads before any test is started and
also monitoring the leads at Switch ON of the tester.
The voltmeter is also activated during automatic discharge of circuit after an Insulation test.
Auto-Hold
Auto-Hold feature is always ON (displays Auto Hold on the LCD), the tester automatically hold the last valid
reading present on the test leads. This is a very good feature for added safety. That mean that the user can
focus on his test leads and what they are touching instead of looking at the display.
The voltmeter is like an automatic Hold.
This feature has been developed by Toptronic Limited so that the user can focus on his personal safety first.
The value will be held on the LCD for later reading after the leads are removed from Dangerous voltage and
situations.
250V, 500V, 1kV Insulation Resistance Tests
When an Insulation Resistance Test is selected, the first thing the tester requires, is for you to connect the leads
to the circuit under test. If the circuit is not voltage free, the tester will go back to the safety voltmeter until you
insulate the circuit under test from any voltage source.
If the circuit under test is voltage free, then you will be asked to confirm that you want to test it now, then the
test will start. You can observe the voltage output on the bar-graph and see the Insulation resistance results.
Test can be stopped at any time or automatically, according to the type of test started and the duration you
depressed TEST (see EnerSave Mode)
TEST Key
The Test Key is utilized to start and stop the test.
This is in conjunction with EnerSave™.
EnerSave™ feature
When you depress the TEST key to turn the selected test ON. The tester will automatically stop the test for you
after about 10 Sec, but if you whish to keep the test running much longer, then depress and keep depressing
the TEST key for more than 3 Seconds, the tester will beep when EnerSave™ is disabled.
For longer tests duration, every time you start a test, you need to keep depressing the TEST key for more than
3 Seconds to disable EnserSave™. EnerSave™is the default setting of these testers. EnerSave™was
developed by Toptronic Ltd to help reduce Consumption by reducing the test duration automatically.
Ohm Key for Continuity Tests
Select the ohm key to make Continuity tests. Continuity test has a short circuit current of more than 200mA.
That range can measure down to 0.01Ohms.
Use this feature with Auto-Null for Convenience.
Auto-Null Key for Continuity Tests (same key as ohm key)
You must depress the ohm key to auto-null the resistance of the test leads and the resistance of the fuse. Once
this is done, that auto-null value is saved internally and only need to be done if you change the test leads of the
fuse. This feature is very useful when checking Wiring Continuity with long wires. For example when measuring
the continuity of the earth protective wires in a house. Don't forget to short the test leads together while auto-
nulling them.
OFF Key (Auto OFF always present)
The OFF key is a software key which is activated When the 1kV key is depressed for more than 5 seconds
(provided no test is in progress and everything is discharged.)
The 1kV key, when depressed for more than 5 Sec, will switch the tester OFF, Or stop the test in progress.
In this case, you have to depress 1kV again to turn the tester OFF.
The Tester turns OFF by itself after the programmed time.
MOV Selection Keys
On the Multifunction Tester. The MOV test can be accessed by depressing the 1kV and 500V keys
simultaneously.
This selects the MOV test.
Make sure that you are testing the correct component before starting this test.
This test starts with a voltage of 0Vdc, then increase that voltage until the MOV starts conducting with 1mA of
current.

[email protected]
The Voltage on the MOV while at 1mA is going through it is displayed on the LCD as well as the equivalent Max
AC voltage which could be utilized on this device.
GAS Arrester Selection keys
On the Multifunction Tester. The GAS test can be accessed by depressing the 500V and Ohm keys
simultaneously.
This selects the GAS Arrester test.
Very similarly to the MOV test, but using an other algorithm, much faster.
AUTOMATIC DISCHARGE ON INSULATION TESTS
All insulation tests have an automatic discharge which can be monitored on the LCD bar-graph while
discharging.
The discharge will continue until the voltage is safe. ONLY then, you can disconnect the test leads.
NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTS
All the tests are using a current of maximum 1mA and are non destructive.
The only test which use more than that is the continuity test. It's voltage is 5V maximum.
The user should make sure that when doing a test, he knows what he is testing and how he is testing it. Making
a sketch of every test will lower the risk of bad testing. If you are not sure of the test you are going to proceed
with, ask someone which is qualified to give you the correct answers.
PRE-TESTING SAFETY
Always check the fuse before using the instrument.
This is done by shorting the test leads and selecting the Continuity test.
Use this, to null the test leads resistance at the same time.
Always clip securely the leads onto the circuit under test. DO NOT JUST TOUCH IT as this could make
intermittent contact and therefore the safety features may not work all the times because the connections may
not be present at all times.
Always connect the test leads and make sure they make proper contacts to the circuit under test before
pressing the test buttons.
These testers are smart, but can only be as smart as your connections. That means that all the safety features
will only work if you have proper connections prior, during and post testing, to the circuit under Test.
All safety features can only work if the fuse is intact and correct.
Follow the interactive messages on the display.
These testers rely completely on you, the user, to connect the leads securely onto the circuit under test before
starting any tests and before selecting any test.
That means that from the time you switch the tester ON, you should connect securely the test leads from the
tester's terminals to the circuit under test.
When ever possible, use fused test leads for increased safety.
Fused test leads are in series with the existing internal fuse, so the voltage will be divided on both fuses,
therefore, reducing the voltage on both fuses and therefore in the worst case, making them safer when opening
(breaking the circuit).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Leads Connections
The Test Leads are color coded for easy use. These testers only use 2 leads which are located on both back
extremities of the front panel.
The user can visually check these connections at any time.
FUNCTIONS
When depressing the "ON-TEST" Button, the Instrument starts up or Resets.
Please Note:
If after a test, no key is depressed for ± 5 minutes, the Instrument will switch off
automatically.

[email protected]
You can turn OFF the Tester without having to wait
for Auto-off. To Turn-Off and switch OFF the tester immediately, Depress the 1kV
key for 5 Seconds.
If a test is still in Progress, pressing 1kV will stop the test.
In this case you need to press 1kV for 5 Sec again.
The Batteries are tested automatically at start up.
The current Drawn from the batteries is about 300mA.
While current is drawn, the total battery voltage is measured and displayed.
Note that battery voltage is always monitored during use of the instrument. Should
the battery become too low, the low battery symbol will be displayed.
AC and DC voltages are automatically detected and shown. This is the default
function of the Instrument. The Voltmeter is selected by default by the strument.
The voltmeter is activated before any test start and the user must connect the test
leads to any circuit before starting any test. This ensures complete safety to the
user and the Instrument. Should voltage be present on the circuit under Test, this
SAFETY VOLTMETER will warn the user of the danger.
As ADDED SAFETY, this Auto-Hold helps the user taking measurement without watching the
display. The user can focus instead, on it's hands and test leads. AUTO-HOLD is always
enabled, the tester will automatically HOLD the last valid reading, which mean that when the
user touch a voltage, that voltage is held on the display even after un-touching the voltage. This
add great safety for the user as he can focus on it's safety by only looking at the test leads.
Insulation test Voltage selection is done by Depressing the corresponding key.
EnerSave
TM
is a Smart Program which Save Energy when ever possible by limiting the
Test Duration.
PI: this is the ratio of the Insulation Resistance at 10 Min divided per the Insulation
Resistance at 1 Minute.
DAR: this is the ratio of the Insulation Resistance at 1 Min divided per the Insulation
Resistance at 30 seconds.
Select the Continuity test which has a Short Circuit Current of 200mA. It Complies to all
latest standard.
Auto-Null the resistance of the test leads and of the fuse so that continuity measurements
can show only the resistance under test. Buzzer is always On. Low resistance value
BEEP when low. It's helping when tracing circuitry.
Pressing the 1000V and 500V keys simultaneously will select the MOV Test. Today's
new Equipments and Electrical Installations are generally Protected by MOVs. It is now
easy to test these devices to ensure their proper working and replace them if found
damaged. The knee Voltage is shown on the display.
Pressing the 250V and W keys simultaneously will select the GAS Arrester test
Function. The Trigger Threshold Voltage is shown on the LCD. All GAS protection can be
tested, including Neon Lights.

VERY IMPORTANT AUTOMATIC FEATURES
Automatic Vac-dc Detect.
All of these testers in this family have the capability to detect Voltage AC and DC.
This is done with the use of the internal safety voltmeter which does this work.
However, this feature will only work if the test leads are securely connected to the circuit under test.
So, you must ensure that the lest leads are doing a perfect contact before beginning any test and before
selecting any function. That contact must remain secure during the entirety of the tests on a particular circuit.
We recommend you to use clip-on alligators and not the tips only, so that you can make sure the test leads are
making a proper contact during the all duration of the tests.
Should the test leads not make contact at any time before, during and after the test, all the safety features of
these testers will not functions.
It's your responsibility to ensure proper contact of the leads at all times.
Automatic Discharge of Capacitive and inductive Circuits
These testers will discharge automatically all circuits charged by the tester, after a test is done, again, this will
only be activated if the test leads make contact at any time before, during and after the test.
It's your responsibility to ensure proper contact of the leads at all times.
Once a test is finished, the testers will automatically discharge capacitive or inductive circuit of their charge. The
discharge can be observed on the display, in the form of a bar-graph. Again, do not disconnect the leads while
discharge. Wait until completion of the discharge before removing any lead.
During Discharge, the Buzzer will beep and the bar-graph will show some voltage. With some high charges, this
may takes some time. Be patient and let the instrument discharge completely before proceeding to removing
the leads.
Auto-off
This family of instruments has an Auto-off feature which will switch off the tester, should no key or function be
in use. Please, again, note that if voltage is present on the leads, the instrument will warn the user of that and
the auto-off feature will be inactive until dangerous voltage has been removed from the circuit.

PRINCIPLE OF HOW THEY WORK-DISPLAYS-RESULTS
This family if Test instruments operate through a keypad interface. The number of keys and their function are
different on each model. All interactions between the user and the instrument is done via the keypad.
The testers have a liquid Crystal Display and two or three terminals.
Each push button or key has a function.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The digital Liquid Crystal Display is large. It measures (W)98mm x (H)24mm and has a 2Lines of 16 Characters.
Language can be changed on demand.
Dutch / French / German etc... (Factory fitted at order)
FUSED
The tester is fused by a fast blow 500mA fuse.

[email protected]
CROWBAR PROTECTION
In case of misuse, a crowbar is integrated and will blow the fuse.
This crowbar will reduce the damages in case of user mistake.
The crowbar is activated at less than 6V (ac or dc).
AUTOMATIC BATTERY TEST
When the tester starts, it test it's batteries by drawing a heavy current from the batteries. During that heavy
current, it measures the battery voltage and displays it for a few seconds on the display.
During normal use, the tester monitors the battery voltage, but without drawing a battery test current. It just
measures the battery while in normal use.
SAFETY VOLTMETER
Once the battery test is terminated, the tester goes automatically into the Voltmeter mode.
It has an Automatic voltmeter AC and DC.
The safety voltmeter even has a Hold function built-in.
The Hold Function will automatically put the last valid reading on hold if the user disconnects the leads.
This is a safety feature, where the user does not need to observe the display but instead observe where he has
his hands and probes. This way, safety is increased.
The Safety Voltmeter works up to Vdc 900V (both polarities) with resolution of 1V and 1% accuracy. It also
measure up to Vac 700V, with the same resolutions and accuracies.
INSULATION
It has three insulation test Voltages. 250, 500 and 1000V, all of theses are capable of giving more than 1mA at
their nominal voltages.
250V Key to select 250Vdc insulation test voltage.
500V Key to select 500Vdc insulation test voltage.
1000V key to select 1000Vdc insulation test voltage.
250V range can measure from 2 K ohms up to 2G ohms
500V range can measure from 4 K ohms up to 4G ohms
1000V range can measure from 8 K ohms up to 8G ohms
On some models it automatically calculates the PI and DAR and has an automatic timer.
CONTINUITY
The continuity test has an open circuit voltage of exactly +5Vdc regulated.
The Short Circuit Current of the continuity circuit is about 220mA.
The Continuity test can measure from 10 milli- ohm (0.01) up to 2Kohms.
The accuracy is better than 1% of reading from 1 ohms to 200 ohms, plus minus one digit.
Below 1 ohms, it's better than 5% of readings plus minus 3digits.
Above 200 ohms, up to 1999 ohms, it's better than 3% of readings plus minus 3 digits.
The Continuity has an auto-nulling facility which is saved into non volatile memories, so you only need to null
the leads of fuse again if they are changed.
AUTO-OFF
They have an auto-off feature and the power automatically turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
EnerSave
The battery life can be saved when the user make spot check.
To make a spot check, the user only press the test button for less than 3 seconds, or use the Quick Test key.
If the user press the test key for more than 3 seconds, the tester make a long test (timer enabled up to 10
minutes for PI test ).
Any test can be stopped at any time.
SAFE VOLTMETER DETECTION
On any of the tests, if the user connects the leads to a voltage, prior to starting the test, te tester will detect the
voltage and automatically turn the Voltmeter ON as well as an alarm. All other test facilities are disabled when
this happen.
DIGITAL CALIBRATION

[email protected]
This family of testers is digitally calibrated. That means that there have no potentiometers or moving part in this
product. All the correction factors are saved into the internal memory.
BATTERIES
The testers can work with 8 x 1.5V batteries.
The user can also use rechargeable batteries in the same product.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Fuses:
In doubt, check the fuses using a ohm meter.
Please note that this instrument will not indicate anything, should the fuses be blown.
Please note that this instrument will be unsafe if the fuse is blown as no indication will be shown and nothing will
be detected by it.
For that reason, you must verify the fuse before and after any test.
Test Leads:
Check the test leads for defects or cracks. Replace if cracked or damaged. Only replace with the same type.
Use the Continuity test to check, with the fuse(s), that the complete circuit is in good condition.
