3. Fitsapana tena: The device will perform a self-test upon power-on. Wait for it to complete.
4. Language/Settings: Navigate through the menu to set your preferred language and other basic settings if prompted.

5.2 Fampifandraisana ireo mpitarika fitsapana

For insulation resistance measurements, connect the test leads as follows:

• Connect the red test lead to the 'L' (Line) terminal of the tester.
• Connect the black test lead to the 'E' (Earth) terminal of the tester.
• For three-wire measurements, connect the blue test lead to the 'G' (Guard) terminal.
• Attach the crocodile clips securely to the test leads and then to the object under test, ensuring good contact.

5.3 Basic Insulation Resistance Measurement (RISO)

1. Safidio ny fomba: Use the rotary switch or menu to select the 'RISO' measurement mode.
2. Set Test Voltage: Adjust the desired test voltage (e.g., 500V, 1000V, 5000V) using the appropriate controls.
3. Set Test Time: If a timed measurement is required, set the duration.
4. Atombohy ny fandrefesana: Press the 'START' button. The device will apply the test voltage ary asehoy ny fanoherana ny insulation.
5. Jereo ny vokatra: The display will show the resistance value and leakage current.
