All instruments detect inadvertent
connection to a live system which is
energised to greater than 25 V,
dependent on model, the instruments
either switch to the default voltmeter
or indicate the presence of voltage by
beeping and flashing the display.
A choice of instruments allows testing
to be carried out on circuits with
rated voltages up to 1000 V and all
instruments may be used on
capacitive circuits since, at the end of
an insulation test, the circuit under
test will be automatically discharged.
Automatic switch-off after 5
minutes’ inactivity conserves
battery life.
Microprocessor control of the
solid state digital/analogue display
ensures that only the correct scale
for the range selected is visible,
avoiding taking readings from the
wrong scale.
Under this condition an insulation or
continuity test cannot be carried out
and the instrument will therefore
automatically inhibit any further
action until the source of voltage has
been removed. Although insulation
tests should only be carried out
The BM220 Series of Insulation and
Continuity Testers are ideal for testing
transformers, motors, generators,
switchgear, domestic
appliances,
power tools etc., as well as fixed
wiring systems. All instruments meet
