Insulation Tester Calibration System
Wallet
10KV lead
Battery charger
This instrument provides all the equipment necessary to test and calibrate insulation
test sets and megohm meters.
It consists of a high precision resistance box, a volt meter and a milliamp meter.
It is constructed from very high insulation materials, including its case, and is fully
isolated from any external circuits including the mains supply.
The switches in the resistance circuit are constructed special high voltage low
leakage wafers and are self cleaning, so should require no maintenance.
All parts of the instrument, including the bared leads provided have been tested for
safety up to ten kilovolts.
The sections of the instrument may be used separately but the user must be aware
that they have a common earth which will prohibit two of the sections being used in
the same circuit.
Maximum voltage is dependent upon humidity levels. Below 50% relative humidity is
recommended.

Volt Meter
Low Range: 0 to 1.999KV, resolution 1V; 1% of full scale reading
High Range: 0 to 10.0KV, resolution 10V; 1% of full scale reading
At 10KV limit the humidity should be below 50%.
Terminal impedance: 1G ohm
Milli Amp Meter
Low Range: 0 to 2 mA; 1% of full scale reading
High Range: 0 to 20 mA; 1% of full scale reading
Terminal impedance: 447 ohm (this includes the discharge resistor for short circuit test).
Insulation Testers will vary from make to make so the controls may be different, however the
principles should still apply.
Observe Safety at all times and if possible, carry out the tests in a low humidity environment.
2. Use only the measuring leads supplied with the Unit Under Test or those supplied
with the 5069. When checking high resistance values the leads may pick up electrical
interference, which can cause a disturbance to the readings obtained. Some
manufactures fit a guard connection for use with dedicated leads, this will stabilize the
readings.
4. Avoid opening the 5069 case lid in the rain or in steamy conditions for the moisture will
impair the readings.
