and the rotary switch on the instrument are non-functional, except for
the OFF position.
FUSE -G-: Flashes if the “G” input fuse is defective.

2.5 Push-button Functions
2.5.1 2nd Button
• Selects the second function (highlighted in yellow) on the buttons.
• The symbol appears. This symbol disappears upon pressing the
function button chosen, except if the  button is activated. In this case, it
only disappears when the button is pressed again, or if other function
buttons are pressed. This allows you to rapidly decrease parameters with
the  button, without having to press the button every time.
2.5.2 V-TIME / Button

First Function - V/TIME
Displays all the secondary information available on the small display.
For Insulation Measurement:
• The time elapsed since the start of the measurement.
• The voltage between the instrument’s “+” and “–” terminals.
• Date, time, test voltage and OBJ:TEST number in memory recall mode
(MR).
Second Function - Time-controlled Test

Displays the measurement duration programmed in SET-UP on the small display.
• The symbol lights up.
• Pressing the START button begins the measurement process. The mea-
surement duration is set to 15 minutes by default.
• As soon as the measurement starts, the small display counts down the
remaining duration of the measurement. Once it reaches zero, the mea-
surement stops.
• As the time-controlled test is carried out, interval samples (resistance/
voltage values as a function of time) are automatically saved. The time
between each sample is set to 30s by default, but it can be changed in
the SET-UP menu.
• The samples are displayed with the R(t) function (see § 2.5.3) as long as
a new measurement has not been started. With each new measurement,
the previous sample value is erased from the memory. These sample
values are saved with the last value of the resistance if used with the
MEM (memory storage) function.
NOTE: If the selector switch’s position is altered, or if the STOP button is pressed
during measurement, the measurement is interrupted.
This function is only active for insulation measurement.

2.5.3 R-DAR-PI-DD / R(t) Button
First Function - R-DAR-PI-DD
The R-DAR-PI-DD button allows automatic measurement of:
• Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR)
• Polarization Index (PI)
• Dielectric Discharge Test (DD)
The PI and DAR values are useful on long cables, or when monitoring the aging of
insulation on electrical machines.
On this material, measurement is adversely affected at the beginning, due to inter-

fering currents (from capacitive charges, dielectric absorption) which eventually
cancel each other out. Therefore, in order to get an accurate measurement of the
leakage current, it is necessary to carry out the measurement over a long period
of time, to reduce the influence of any interfering currents at the beginning of the
measurement.
Then the PI or the DAR ratios are calculated:

PI* = R10 min / R1 min (2 values recorded during a 10 minute measurement)
DAR = R1 min / R30 s (2 values recorded during a 1 minute measurement)
The quality of insulation depends on the results found.
DAR PI State of the insulation

<1
< 1.25 Inadequate, even dangerous
<2
< 1.6 > 2 to < 4 Good
> 1.6 >4 Excellent
*The 10 and 1 minute times can be modified in the SET-UP menu, to adapt to any changes or specific
applications.
For multi-layer insulation, if one of the layers is defective, but all the others show
strong resistance, the calculation of the PI and PAR ratios is not sufficient to show
this type of problem.
Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the PI and DAR indications by a dielectric

discharge test (DD).
This test measures the dielectric absorption of heterogeneous or multi-layer insu-

lation while ignoring the parallel-surface leak currents.
It consists of applying a test voltage for a period sufficient to electrically “charge”

the insulation to be measured (a typical value is the application of a 500V voltage
for 30 minutes).

The test voltage is chosen in the same way as the insulation measurement in the
SET-UP menu. The device then causes a fast discharge during which the insula-
tion capacity is measured, then measured 1 minute after the residual current is
circulating in the insulation.
The DD value is calculated from the formula below:

current measured after 1 minute (mA)
DD =
test voltage (V) x capacity measured (F)
The indication of the insulation quality as a function of the resulting value is as

follows:
DD value Insulation quality
DD >7 Very bad
7 >DD >4 Bad
4 >DD >2 Doubtful
DD <2 Good insulation
NOTE: The dielectric discharge test is suited for the insulation measurement of
rotating machines, and in general, for the insulation measurement of heteroge-
neous or multilayer insulation containing organic materials.
Using the R-DAR-PI-DD Function:

During or after measurement, the R-DAR-PI-DD button allows you to scroll through
the following values:
• DAR (for measurements lasting > 1 min)

• PI (for measurements lasting > the programmed PI times)
• DD can only be calculated 1 minute after the end of the insulation mea-
surement and circuit discharge, and only if it was selected before begin-
ning the measurement.
• Capacitance in µF (only after the measurement has stopped and the cir-
cuit has been discharged)
• Residual leakage current circulating in the installation in µA or nA
• Insulation resistance in MΩ, GΩ or TΩ
NOTE: During the measurement, the DAR value is not available if the DD value
was preselected before the measurement. The PI value is not available if DAR or
DD values were preselected before the measurement.

Automatic Measurement of DAR or PI:
If the R-DAR-PI-DD button is pressed during the voltage measurement before the
start of a measurement, the following is displayed:
MΩ DAR PI DD
NOTE: The input current may be a depolarization current resulting from an earlier
insulation measurement. It is recommended to start a new DAR and PI measure-
ment after the current has dropped to a negligible value (on the order of 100pA)
to avoid variations on these measurements.
Depending on the choices (DAR or PI), the measurement goes as follows:
a) DAR: Press START - the DAR symbol flashes and the display indicates “- - - -”
as long as the calculation of the ratio is not possible (t <1 mn).
DAR
e.g.:
After 1 min, the measurement stops and the main display automatically shows the
DAR value. During or after measurement, the R-DAR-PI-DD button can be used to
see the insulation measurement carried out, but it does not give the PI value since
the measurement has not lasted long enough.
b) PI: Press START - the PI symbol flashes and the display indicates “- - - -” as
long as the calculation of the ratio is not possible (t < programmed PI times).
PI
e.g.:
After the upper PI time has passed, the measurement stops and the main display
automatically shows the PI value. During and after measurement, the R-DAR-
PI-DD button makes it possible to display the DAR (after 1 min), the PI and the
insulation measurement.
c) DD: Press START - the DD symbol flashes and the display indicates “- - - -”
as long as the calculation of the ratio is not possible (t <30 min +1 min).
DD
e.g.:
1 minute after the measurement stops, the DD symbol becomes steady, the dis-
play automatically show the value of DD.

Therefore: if the measurement lasts 1 min. - DAR
if the measurement lasts longer than the programmed PI time - PI
if 1 min. after the end of the measurement - DD
NOTE: If during DAR or PI measurement (automatic or not), a high external inter-

ference voltage becomes present, or the insulation resistance goes beyond the
device’s measurement range, then the DAR or PI measurements are interrupted
and the screen indicates:
DAR MΩ or PI MΩ or DD MΩ
The display of the DD value is:

• Unknown (- - - -) if C < 1nF and Idd < 100pA
• Known and flashing if 1nF ≤ C < 10nF and 100pA ≤ Idd < 1nA
• Known and permanent if C ≥ 10nF and Idd ≥ 1nA
(with C = measured capacitance and Idd = measured leakage current)
NOTE: The 10 min / 1 min measurement durations for PI calculation can be

modified in the SET-UP menu (see § 2.5.7), allowing changes to standards or
to suit a particular application.
Second Function - R(t)

Used to access the interval insulation resistance values as a function of time after
a measurement in “time-controlled test” mode (see § 2.5.2).
The time between each saved sample is programmed in the SET-UP menu.
This function is also available on the Model 5050, which has neither a read-write
memory for saving measured data, nor an interface for data retrieval from the
instrument by a PC.
Model 5050:
Up to 20 samples can be recorded during measurement at the sample rate chosen
in SET-UP (the default value is 30 seconds). It is possible to save more than 20
samples depending on available memory.
Model 5060:
The number of samples that can be saved is only limited by the memory space
available.
To enter the display mode, press the R(t) button:
• The small display indicates the time 00:30 (e.g. the sampling frequency is
every 30s).
• The main display shows the corresponding R value.

Use the V/TIME button to alternate between the voltage and time (on the small
display), associated with the R value on the main display.
The button is used to scroll down through the all the samples saved during
measurement, allowing you to read the information in order to draw R(t) and V(t)
graphs.
This makes it possible to carry out R(t) analysis on-site, without a printer or a PC.
To exit this function, press the R(t) or R-DAR-PI-DD button again.
2.5.4 / ALARM Button

First Function -
Turns the display back-light ON or OFF.
Second Function - ALARM

Activates/deactivates the ALARM function. The “ALARM” symbol is displayed
when activated.
If activated, and the high or low threshold values are programmed, the “ALARM”
symbol flashes and the buzzer (if activated) sounds continuously when the thresh-
old is crossed.
It is possible to program a different limit in each function. These limits will be stored
in memory even after the device is turned off.
ACTIVATING THE ALARM INDICATION BEFORE A TEST

To activate the Alarm Indication before performing a test you must go through the
following steps:
• Program the Alarm Set Point Resistance Value for the Test Voltage you
will be using.
• Turn the Rotary switch to the Setup position.
• Press the Yellow 2nd button and then the Alarm button to set Alarms. The
first time you press 2nd & Alarm you will see the alarm setting for 50 volt
tests.
• Press 2nd & Alarm buttons repeatedly until you see the test you wish to set
alarms for in the top line of the display. The sequencing will be 500, 1000,
2500, 5000, and set.
• Use the cursor keys to adjust the Blinking value. First select KΩ, MΩ, GΩ
or TΩ using the Up Arrow Key ().
• Next, press the Right Arrow Key () to move to the next selection which
is the greater than (>) / less than (<) choice. Use the Up Arrow Key to
make your selection.

• Press the Right Arrow Key again to move to the Resistance Value Set

Arrow / Left Arrow combination working from the highest to lowest digit.
• When finished programming the alarm settings, place the rotary switch to
the desired test function.
• Before initiating a test, press the Yellow 2nd button and the Alarm button
to activate the Alarm Notification. The word “ALARM” will appear in the
lower left side of the display.
• Next, press the round yellow Start/Stop button to begin the test. The Alarm
symbol will flash and the buzzer will sound continuously if the Alarm set
point is tripped.
NOTE: If the rotary switch is turned off prior to the next test, the alarm notification
will be deactivated. You will need to press the Yellow 2nd button and the Alarm
button to activate the Alarm Notification when you turn the unit back on before
starting the next test, if alarm notification is desired.
2.5.5 / Smooth Button

First Function -
Selects the desired parameter to be modified - the selected parameter flashes.
The flashing parameter is modified using the button (see § 2.5.6).
Second Function - SMOOTH

Activates a digital filter for insulation measurement. It only has an effect on the
displayed values (which are smoothed) and not the actual measurements.
For example, this function is useful when the displayed insulation values are highly
unstable, brought about due to a capacitive component in the tested element.
2.5.6 Button
Changes the flashing parameters displayed, or views R(t) values (see § 2.5.3).
As a general rule, two figures (day, month, hour, min., sec., and OBJ:TEST)
flash.
The  and  functions have a “follow-on” mode. (e.g. as soon as the high or low
program limit is reached, the parameter to be modified switches automatically to
the following low or high limit.)

First Function 
• Press button briefly to increase the displayed number slowly.
• Press button for a longer time to increase at a faster rate.
Second Function 
• Press button briefly to decrease the displayed number slowly.
• Press button for a longer time to decrease at a faster rate.
Unlike all the second functions of other buttons, it is not necessary to press the
button each time to get to the  function. The symbol remains displayed
and is valid for the  function (only), as long as the user does not deactivate it by
pressing or another button.
2.5.7 SET-UP Function

Configures the instrument.
After selecting SET-UP with the rotary selector switch:
• All the display segments are lit up for 1 second.

• The software version number is then displayed.
• The instrument ID number is displayed next.
• “PUSH” appears on the small display and “btn” on the main display,
prompting the operator to press a button.
The SET-UP function is used to directly access the parameters to be pro-

grammed, by pressing the corresponding button.
• After having pressed a button, the corresponding figures or symbols

appear on the screen.
• The figures or the symbols that can be modified, flash on the screen.
• Use the and buttons.
• All the parameters are immediately and permanently saved.

The following table defines the buttons that are functional when in SET-UP, and the

2.5.8 Clearing the Memory
In SET-UP, press the MEM button:
• The MEM symbol flashes

• The small display indicates “ALL”
• The main display indicates “cLR”
To clear the entire memory, press the MEM button again for 2 seconds:
• The MEM symbol is displayed without flashing

• The small display indicates “ALL”
• The main display indicates “FrEE”
To clear the contents of a specific OBJ : TEST number:
• Select the number using the and buttons

• “FrEE” or “OCC” appears on the main display
Press the MEM button again for 2 seconds to clear the contents:
• The small display indicates the OBJ : TEST number

• The main display indicates “FrEE”
2.5.9 Communication Rate (RS-232)

• In SET-UP, press the PRINT button.
• The main display indicates the Communication Rate (e.g. 300, 600, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600 or Parallel).
• “bAUd” appears on the small display. The value can be changed using
the  and  buttons.
• “Parallel” appearing in the display means that the parallel mode has
been selected. This is for printing on a parallel printer via the serial-to-
parallel adapter (RS-232 Centronics).
2.5.10 Default Device Configuration

In SET-UP, press the button three times:
• “SEt” appears in the small display.

• “DFLt” (flashing) appears in the main display.
Press START to select the default configuration settings (see the previous table).

2.5.11 Voltage Disturbance Limit
In SET-UP, press the button five times:
• “dISt” appears in the small display.

• “003U” (flashing) appears in the main display.
• Modify this value if necessary using the button (possible choice
between: 0.10 - 0.20 - 0.03).
NOTE: This adjustment provides the best compromise between the measure-
ment build-up time and the presence of external interference voltages (§ 4.2).
If no interference voltage is present, choose 0.03 to obtain a rapid measurement

build-up time.
Example: If an insulation measurement is performed at a test voltage of 5000V and the

limit is set to 0.10, it will be possible to perform a correct measurement with the pres-
ence of an external interference voltage ≤500V, to the detriment of a longer measure-
ment build-up time.
2.5.12 Automatic Measuring Range

In SET-UP, press the button six times:
• “rAnG” appears in the small display.

• “Auto” appears in the main display.
Use the button to choose a fixed (1, 2 or 3 on the main display) or automatic
(Auto on the main display) measurement range.
NOTE: The fixed measurement ranges correspond to the current ranges of the
following measurements:
1: 50pA to 200nA (>500GΩ)

2: 150nA to 50µA (500KΩ to 500GΩ)
3: 30µA to 3mA (<500KΩ)
The choice of a fixed measurement range optimizes the measurement build-up

time for a known value of insulation resistance.
Example: Choice of range 1 for a measurement greater than 500GΩ.
Note: In most cases, “Auto” should be selected.

2.5.13 Blocking (Disabling) Test Voltages
This function prevents insulation measurements from being carried out at selected
test voltages. This makes it possible to use the instrument for specific applications
and avoid improper voltages.
To set the maximum variable test voltage:
• Turn the rotary switch to SET-UP
• Press the button seven times

- “1000V” appears in the small display
- “OFF” appears (flashing) in the main display
• Press the button to toggle to the maximum test voltage

(“1000V” will now be flashing)
• To increase the voltage, press the button

To decrease the voltage, press the yellow button, then the button
• After setting the maximum test voltage, toggle back to “OFF” by pressing
the button
• Press the button to turn “ON”
Example: By choosing ON and a test voltage limit of 750V, the measurement will be
performed at 500V for the 500V switch position on the rotary switch, and at 750V for
all the other positions on the rotary switch (LIM will appear for 3 seconds on the main
display).

CHAPTER 4
MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS
4.1 AC/DC Voltage

• Select any measurement position with the rotary selector switch.
• The instrument is automatically in AC/DC voltage measurement mode.
• The voltage is continuously measured and is shown on the small display.
Measurement is prohibited if an external voltage is present at the terminals before

pressing START/STOP. Similarly, if an interference voltage is detected during
measurement, the measurement is stopped and that voltage is indicated.
4.2 Insulation Measurement

As soon as one of the MΩ positions has been selected, the main display shows
“- - - - MΩ”, and the small display indicates the voltage present at the device’s “+”
and “–” terminals.
WARNING: If the external voltage present at the device’s terminals exceeds

the threshold shown below, pressing the yellow START/STOP button does
not bring about insulation measurement, but instead triggers an audible signal.
The symbol flashes for 2 seconds, then the device goes back to automatic
voltage measurement.
Threshold: V peak ≥ dISt x Vn

• Vpeak: External peak voltage or DC present at unit terminals.
• dISt: Coefficient defined in the set-up menu (adjustable to 0.03 - 0.10
- 0.20 - default value: 0.03).
• Vn: Test voltage chosen for insulation measurement.
If the external voltage present at the device terminals is less than the value defined
previously, then insulation measurement can proceed:
Pressing START immediately begins the measurement. The measurement value
is displayed on the main digital display and on the bargraph. An audible beep is
given out every 10 seconds to indicate that measurement is in progress.
WARNING: If the test voltage is considered to be dangerous (>120V), the

symbol is displayed. If, during insulation measurement, an external voltage higher
than the value defined by the following threshold is detected, the measurement
is stopped as long as the voltage is applied to the instrument.

The symbol flashes and the voltage value is indicated on the small digital
display.
Threshold: V peak > (dISt + 1.05) Vn
Note: Adjustment of the dISt factor optimizes the measurement build-up time. If
there is no interference voltage present, the dISt factor may be adjusted to the
minimum value to obtain a build-up time for the minimum measurement.
If a significant interference voltage is present, the dISt factor may be

increased so that the measurement is not interrupted by the appearance of a
negative alternation during the generation of the test voltage, which is the same
as optimizing the measurement build-up time in the presence of the interference
voltage.
If the measurements are unstable, the SMOOTH function can be enabled.

By pressing the V/TIME button during measurement, you can alternate between
displaying the duration of the voltage measurement and the exact voltage gener-
ated, on the small display.
Pressing the STOP button stops the measurement. After the measurement has
been stopped the result remains displayed.
It is possible to scroll through all the other results available on the main display
using the R-DAR-PI-DD button. This button can also be used before the measure-
ment is begun.
If the “time-controlled test - ” mode has been selected, the R(t) button makes it
possible to access all the saved interval measurements automatically.
If the ALARM function is activated, a buzzer is triggered as soon as the measure-
ment crosses the threshold programmed in the SET-UP configuration menu.

OPERATION
NOTE: Charge the instrument fully before use.
5.1 Measurement Procedure

• Start the instrument by turning the switch to the corresponding position.
All the segments on the LCD screen are displayed, then the battery
voltage.
• Connect the leads to the “+” and “-” leads to the measurement points.
• The voltage is continuously measured and displayed on the small
display.
• Press the START/STOP button to start the measurement.
• Press START/STOP again to stop the measurement. The last result
remains on the display until the next measurement is started, or the
selector switch is turned.
WARNING: If an external voltage is present that is greater than the thresholds

described in § 4.2, the instrument indicates this voltage on the small display, the
warning symbol flashes, and the measurement is stopped.
Note: There are several special functions that can be used (see § 2.5).
5.2 Insulation Measurement

This function allows the instrument to measure insulation between 10kΩ and
10TΩ at a test voltage of 500V, 1000V, 2500V, and 5000V or programmed voltage
between 40V and 5100V.
• Use the rotary switch to select the required test voltage (MΩ-500V, or
MΩ-1000V, or MΩ-2500V, MΩ-5000V, or Var. MΩ-50-5000V).
• Connect the instrument to the insulator to be tested.
• Start the measurement using the START/STOP button and read the
results.
WARNING: If an external voltage is present that is greater than the thresholds

described in § 4.2, then measurement is prohibited.

Scroll through the results on the main display with the R-DAR-PI-DD button, or on
the small display with the V/TIME button.
Use R(t) when carrying out a ‘time-controlled test’ to scroll through the interval
measurement values saved at the sampling rate specified in SET-UP. These
values are available until another measurement is taken or the selector switch is
turned.
When measuring high levels of insulation (> 1GΩ), it is advised that the “G”
guard terminal be used to eliminate the influence of surface leakage currents. The
guard is connected between the two measurement contact points, and the surface
susceptible to surface currents, (e.g. dusty, damp cable or transformer insulation).
In this case, alligator clips are preferable to test-probes held in the hand.
As soon as insulation measurement is stopped, the test circuit is automatically

discharged using the instrument’s internal resistance.

6.2 Saving / Recalling Values (MEM/MR Button)
NOTE: After replacing or completely discharging the battery, the message

“Memory OFF” appears when you try to save a measurement in memory.
To be able to save your measurements, you will need to do the following:

Set the instrument to SET-UP and press the MEM button (the display shows “MEM
All clr”). Press the MEM button for 2s (the display shows “MEM ALL FrEE”). Mea-
surements are now ready to be saved.
First Function - MEM (Save)

Results can be recorded in the instrument’s memory and stored along with
addresses defined by an object number (OBJ) and a test number (TEST).
An object represents a ‘box’ into which we can place 99 tests. Thus, an object can
represent a machine or an installation upon which a certain number of measure-
ments (insulation, resistance and continuity) are carried out.

1) When the button is pressed, the MEM symbol flashes and the small display
indicates the first free OBJ : TEST number (e.g. 02 : 01). The main display
indicates “FrEE”.
• The OBJ number is the same as that of the last saved measurement, and
the TEST number goes up in increments of 1.
• It is always possible to modify OBJ : TEST with and .
• If the user happens to select a memory address that is already occupied,
then OCC appears on the main screen.
• If a new OBJ is selected, the TEST goes back to 01.
2) By pressing MEM once again, the present measurement results will be

recorded in the selected memory address (occupied or otherwise). The MEM
symbol stops flashing and remains displayed. The time and the date of this
recording are stored with the available data (R, V, t).
If a button other than MEM is pressed, or the selector switch is moved
before pressing MEM a second time, the instrument exits from MEM
mode without saving the results.
3) If a time-controlled test has been initiated, interval values (samples) are avail-
able. They are automatically saved under the same OBJ : TEST number as
the final measurement.
Memory Capacity
• Total memory space: 128kb
• Data management: 8kb
• Free memory space: 120kb
An insulation measurement requires 80 bytes. A “time-controlled test” sample
requires 10 additional bytes. Therefore, it is possible to record about 1500 insula-
tion measurements.
Free Memory Space
This function is automatically activated when a result is saved.
Press MEM once to get the following free OBJ : TEST number; the bargraph dis-
played corresponds to the available free memory space.
• If the entire memory is free, all of the bargraph segments appear.
• If the entire memory is full, the arrow to the left of the bargraph flashes.
• As soon as the storage is complete, the bargraph disappears.
Each segment of the bargraph equals approximately 50 recordings.

Second Function - MR
The MR function allows a recall of any saved data from memory, regardless of the
position of the rotary selector switch.
• When the button is pressed, the MR symbol is displayed. The small dis-
play indicates the last OBJ : TEST number to be assigned (e.g. 02 :11).
• 02 “11” flashes opposite the TEST symbol. Use the and buttons to
select the desired OBJ : TEST number.
• If a new OBJ is selected, TEST is automatically set to the maximum

stored number. At this stage, it is possible to review the entire memory
with the and buttons, since the measurement values corresponding
to the selected OBJ : TEST number are displayed on the main display.
Use the R-DAR-PI-DD button to scroll through them.
• The V/TIME button gives access to the date / time/V/ OBJ-TEST number
for each result.
• If the recording selected by the OBJ : TEST number corresponds to a

time-controlled test, the R(t) values can be accessed by pressing the
R(t) button. The small display changes and indicates min:sec (time of 1st
sample) and the symbol flashes on the screen. You can scroll through
the other samples with the button.
To exit from R(t) mode and return to the normal memory recall mode (OBJ : TEST),
press R(t) or R-DAR-PI-DD again.
To exit the MR function, press MR button once again or turn the selector switch.
6.3 Printing Measured Values

(PRINT/PRINT MEM Button - Model 5060)
If you use a serial printer, choose the appropriate communication speed (baud
rate) in the SET-UP menu, between 300 - 9600 baud, then program the printer to
the format run by the instrument (see § 6.1).
There are two printing modes possible:

• Instantaneous printing of measurement (PRINT)
• Printing of recorded data (PRINT memory)
NOTE: If the data transmission to the printer is successful, the COM symbol
flashes once on the screen. If a problem has occurred, the COM symbol remains
on the LCD screen without flashing.

6.4 Instantaneous Printing of Measurements (PRINT button)
Following a measurement or after accessing values in MR mode, use the PRINT
function to print the measurement results.
NOTE: PRINT only works when the test is stopped by pressing the START/STOP
button and the value is displayed on the LCD.
Press the PRINT button to print the following:

• 1 set of measurements (V / R / DAR / PI / DD / date/time) for normal tests.
• The R(t) values if the “time-controlled test” has been used.
To stop printing, move the position of the selector switch.
Depending on the function used, the following models are obtained:

A space for the operator’s signature is available at the end of the printout.
6.5 Printing Data in Memory (PRINT MEM button)
Prints out the contents of the instrument’s read-write memory.
The small display indicates 01 : 01 for the OBJ : TEST number (starting address
of printing).
The main display indicates the last recording in memory (the end address of print-
ing). e.g. 12 : 06.
01 flashes opposite the OBJ position (use the and buttons to define the start/
end addresses of the printout).
• To exit without printing, alter the position of the selector switch.
• To proceed with printing, press the PRINT button once more.
