sitivity. Easy to operate, rugged and durable, the unit can be used on equipment or net-
works rated from low voltage to 400 kilovolts.
The unit controls the dc voltage across the conductors and measures the leakage current
through and over the insulation with one microprocessor and directs the display, control
panel, and power supply via a second microprocessor. They communicate through a
fiber-optic link.
The unit combines basic and automatic insulation testing capabilities. Typical tests in-
clude:
l Insulation resistance tests at 500, 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000 volts dc (with resistance
readings up to 500,000 megohms at 5,000 volts dc).
l Automatic polarization index (PI) tests at any of the voltages listed above.
l Automatic step voltage (SV) tests in five equal steps up to 2,500 or 5,000 volts dc.
The unit is powered by an internal rechargeable, sealed lead-acid battery (12 volt, 6.5
amperehour) or power supply cord (110/120 volts at 50/60 hertz or 2201240 volts at 50/60
hertz).

attached keyboard. A built-in thermal graphics printer provides high-quality output of
waveforms and reports. Four two-wire ac input channels are provided with selectable
ranges of 0 to 60 volts and 60 to 600 volts. Frequency range is 45 hertz to 65 hertz. Im-
pulses of greater than one microsecond can be recorded and the range is 25 to 6,000
