W Measuring Insulation Resistance Warning • Measuring insulation resistance requires the application of potentially dangerous voltages to the desired function. In Lo Ohms mode, the meter turns off after 5 minutes of non-use . To turn the meter back on, turn the rotary switch to OFF, then to the circuit. Fluke 1520 Users Manual Auto-Shut-Off The Meter automatically turns off after 15 minutes of non-use . This may include exposed bonded metalwork. • Before proceeding, ensure that the installation is correctly wired and no personnel are endangered by any tests. 12
