Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester

The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is an advanced digital continuity and insulation resistance tester capable of performing insulation tests at 1000V. It is also possible to perform insulation tests at 250V and 500V. The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is auto-ranging up to 19.99 kΩ.

The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is equipped with the following test sequences and functions.

Insulation

The required test voltage is selected using the rotary dial. Once the TEST button is pushed, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester will apply this voltage to the object-under-test; the test voltage is indicated on its large, backlit, LCD display. The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester will also indicate the test results via this display.

Continuity

The rotary dial is switched to the continuity position and the test leads are applied to the test object; the user then engages the TEST button. The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester performs the continuity test.

To ensure accurate measurements, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester includes a Continuity Null feature designed to account for test lead resistance (up to 5Ω).

Hands-Free Function

Both of the above test sequences can be performed using the Hands-Free function. Using the rotary dial the operator can select the required insulation or continuity test sequence; he/she then presses the HANDSFREE button to engage this function and the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester will continue to perform the specified test until the Hands-Free function is deselected, the TEST button is pressed, or the unit is powered off. As long as the Hands-Free function is engaged a written HANDSFREE indication will be shown on the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester’s display.

Buzzer Function

Like with the insulation and continuity test sequences, the user needs only set the rotary dial to the Buzzer function and apply the test leads to the object-under-investigation. The Buzzer function is useful for identifying cables (‘belling out’) quickly and easily.

In addition to the aforementioned test functions and sequences, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is equipped with a number of practical and safe features. For instance, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is protected against accidental connection to a mains supply and will issue a LED and audible alert when hazardous voltages are detected.

Furthermore, this unit's protective rubber over-mould casing, dual insulated wear indicating test leads, and GS38 probes and clips ensure that the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is suitable for use in demanding environments. The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester has a measurement category of CAT III 500V (CAT IV 300V).

This instrument is capable of performing approximately five-hundred tests (at 1000V) over the course of the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester’s battery life (4x AA batteries). To preserve battery life, the Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is equipped with an Auto Switch Off function.

The Socket & See IRC PRO Insulation and Continuity Tester is an advanced, durable and reliable insulation resistance and continuity tester.
