1. General introduction

1.1. Features

The TeraOhm 5kV Tester is a portable battery / mains powered test instrument intended

for testing of Insulation Resistance by using high test voltages of up to 5 kV. It operates

on a SIMPLE and CLEAR basis.

The instrument is designed and produced with the extensive knowledge and experience

acquired through many years of dealing with similar test equipment.

- Programmable timer 1s up to 30 min

- Automatic discharge of tested object after measurement completion

- Capacitance measurement

• Insulation Resistance measurement versus test voltage (step-up voltage)

- Five discrete test voltages proportionately set within preset test voltage range

- Programmable timer 1min up to 30 min per step

• Polarization Index PI and Dielectric Discharge ratio

- PI = RINS (t2) / RINS (t1)

- DD = Idis (1min) / C

⋅

• Withstanding voltage (DC) up to 5.5 kV

- Programmable ramp test voltage 250 V up to 5 kV

- High resolution ramp (approx. 20 V per step)

- Programmable threshold current

• Voltage and frequency measurement up to 600 V AC/DC

A dot matrix LCD offers easy-to-read results and all associated parameters. Operation is

simple and clear; the operator does not need any special training (except reading and

understanding this Users Manual) to operate the instrument.

The instrument allows storage of test results. Professional PC SW enables simple

transfer of test results and other parameters in both directions between the test

instrument and PC.

3. Warnings

In order to reach the highest level of operator’s safety while carrying out various

measurements and tests using the TeraOhm 5kV Tester, as well as to ensure that the

test equipment remains undamaged, it is necessary to consider the following warnings:

MEANING OF SYMBOLS

♦ !symbol on the instrument means “Read the User Manual with special care!”

♦ symbol on the instrument means “Hazardous voltage higher than 1000 V

may be present at the test terminals!”!

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

♦ If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this Users Manual,

the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired!

♦ Do not use the instrument and accessories, if any damage is noticed!

♦ Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid the risk of electric

shock while dealing with electric installations!

♦ Service intervention or recalibration procedure can be carried out only by a

competent and authorized person!

♦ Only adequately trained and competent persons may operate the instrument.

BATTERIES

♦ Disconnect all test leads and switch the power off before opening the Battery

cover!

♦ Avoid connection to main supply when alkaline batteries are inserted, danger

of explosion! Do not charge when alkaline batteries are fitted!

EXTERNAL VOLTAGES

♦ Do not connect the instrument to a mains voltage different from the one

defined on the label adjacent to the mains connector, otherwise the instrument

may be damaged.

• Do not connect test terminals to an external voltage higher than 600 V AC or

DC (CAT III environment) to prevent any damage on the test instrument!

WORKING WITH THE INSTRUMENT

♦ Use only standard or optional test accessories supplied by your distributor!

♦ Equipment under test must be switched off i.e. de-energized before test leads

are connected to the equipment.

♦ Do not touch any conductive parts of equipment under test during the test.

♦ Make sure that the tested object is disconnected (mains voltage disconnected)

before starting the Insulation Resistance measurement!

• Do not touch the tested object whilst testing it, risk of electric shock!

TeraOhm 5kV

• In case of a capacitive test object (long tested cable etc.), automatic discharge

of the object may not be done immediately after finishing the measurement –

“Please wait, discharging” message will be displayed.

HANDLING WITH CAPACITIVE LOADS

♦ Note that 40 nF charged to 1 kV or 1.6 nF charged to 5 kV are hazardous live!

♦ Never touch the measured object during the testing until it is totally

discharged.

♦ Maximum external voltage between any two leads is 600 V (CAT III

environment).

4. Performing measurements

4. 1. Switching on the instrument

Autocalibration

The instrument is switched ON by pressing the ON/OFF key. After turning on,the

instrument first executes the autocalibration (Fig. 5).

It is necessary that the measuring test leads are disconnected during autocalibration. If

not the instrument will require disconnection of the test leads and repeat switching OFF

and ON.

After finishing the autocalibration,the instrument is prepared for normal operation.

Autocalibration prevents lowering of the accuracy when measuring very low currents. It

compensates the effects caused by ageing, temperature and humidity changes etc.

A new autocalibration is recommended when the temperature changes by more than

Fig. 4. First introduction

Fig. 5. Auto-calibration state

Note:

If the instrument detects incorrect state during the autocalibration, the following warning

message will be displayed:

ERROR!

-TEST LEADS CONNECTED:

DISCONNECT AND SWITCH ON THE INSTRUMENT AGAIN

- CONDITIONS OUT OF RANGE: PRESS START TO CONTINUE

Possible reasons for out of range conditions are excessive humidity, too high

temperature, etc. In this case it is possible to perform measurements but results could

be out of technical specification.

Backlight operation

After turning the power on the LCD backlight is automatically turned on. It can be turned

OFF and ON by simply clicking the LIGHT key.

Backlight turns off automatically approximately 10s after switching it ON,if the

instrument is supplied by the internal battery.
