Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010 -1 safety measurement requirement:
in pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. III 600V, CAT.II 1000V) and double
insulation.
CAT II: Local level, appliance, portable equipment etc., with smaller transient voltage
overvoltages than CAT. III
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient over voltages than
CAT. IV
Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual, otherwise the protection
provided by the Meter may be impaired.

6
Danger identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user.
Warning identifies avoiding electric shock.
Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the Meter and carrying
out accurate measurement.
International electrical symbols used on the Meter and in this Operating Manual are
explained on page 11.
7
Danger
Use of instrument in a manual not specifed by the manufactuer may impair
safety features/protection provided by the equipment. Read the following safety
information carefully before using or servicing the instrument.
Do not apply more than 1000V DC or 750V AC.
Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or dust.
Do not use the Meter in a wet environment.
When using the test leads, keep your figures away from the lead contacts.
Keep your figures behind the finger guards on the leads.
Do not use the Meter with any parts or cover removed.
When carrying out insulation measurement, do not contact the circuit
under test.
8
Warning
Do not use the Meter if it is damaged or metal part is exposed. Look for
cracks or missing plastic.
Be careful when working above 30V rms, 46.7V ac rms and 70V DC. Such
voltages pose a shock hazard.
Do not change battery when the Meter is in wet environment.
Place test leads in proper input terminals. Make sure all the test leads
are firmly connected to the Meterís input terminals.
Make sure the Meter is turned off when opening the battery compartment.
Carefully read the operating manual before operating the Meter.
Follow the operating manual all the time when using the Meter and keep
the operating manual in a safe place.
Wrong operation will cause incident and damage to the Meter.

9
Caution
When performing resistance tests, remove all power from the circuit to
be measured and discharge all the power.
When servicing the Meter, use only the same model number or identical
electrical specifications of test leads and power adaptor.
Do not use the Meter if the battery indicator ( ) shows a battery
empty condition. Take the battery out from the Meter if it is not used
for a long time.
Do not use or store the Meter in an environment of high temperature,
humidity, explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field. The
performance of the Meter may deteriorate after dampened.

Rotary Switch
Table 5. Rotary Switch Description
ON/OFF Turn on or off the Meter.
ACV Turn the rotary switch to ACV to measure AC Voltage
DCV Turn the rotary switch to DCV to measure DC Voltage
250V/500V/1000V Turn the rotary switch to 250V/500V/1000V, select the
(UT501 ) requested output voltage, to carry out insulation
resistance measurement.
500V/1000V/2500V Turn the rotary switch to 500V/1000V/2500V, select
(UT502 ) the requested output voltage, to carry out insulation
resistance measurement.

Measurement Operation
Below section explains how to make measurements.
A. Measuring Voltages
a.UT501 b.UT502
Figure 2. Voltages Measurement
16
Catuion
To avoid harm to you or damages to the Meter from electric shock, do not
attemptto meaure voltages higher than 1000V DC or 750V rms AC although
readings may be obtained.
When voltage measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection
between the testing leads and the circuit under test and remove testing leads away
from the input terminals of the Meter.
Do not carry out measurement when the battery compartment is open.
To measure voltages, set up the Meter as Figure 4 and do the following:
1. Turn the rotary switch to DCV or ACV.
2. Insert the red test lead into the V terminal and the black test lead into the G terminal.
Then carry out the measurement.

17
B. Measuring Insulation Resistance
a.UT501 b.UT502
Figure 3. Insulation Resistance Measurement

18
Caution
When measuring insulation resistance, please must separate the two test leads.
When performing insulation resistance tests, remove all power from the circuit
to be measured and discharge all the power.
Do not short circuit two test leads under high voltage status.
Do not measure insulation resistance after high voltage output.
When the measurement is completed, donít touch the circuit as the circuit has
already stored capacitance, which may cause electric shock.
Don't touch the test leads even after it has been removed from the circuit until
voltages are all released.
To measure insulation resistance, set up the Meter as Figure 3 and do the following:
19
Turn the rotary switch to one of these position 250V / 500V / 1000V / 2500V.
1. When performing insulation resistance tests, remove all power from the circuit
to be measured and discharge all the power.
2. Insert the red test lead into the LINE terminal and the black test lead into
EARTH terminal.
3. Connect the red and black alligator clip to the circuit to be measured, positive
voltage output from LINE terminal.
Continuous Measurement
1. Turn the rotary switch to one of these position 250V / 500V / 1000V / 2500V
2. Press TEST to button to carry out continuous measurement. Output insulation
resistance testing voltage, TEST button light up,
3. Press TEST button to close the insulation resistance measurement voltage
when measurement is completed. TEST button lights off.

Maintenance
This section provides basic maintenance information including battery replacement
instruction.
Warning
Do not attempt to repair or service your Meter unless you are qualified to do
so and have the relevant calibration, performance test, and service information.
A. General Service
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
To clean the terminals with cotton bar with detergent, as dirt or moisture in
the terminals can affect readings.

21
Turn the Meter to OFF when it is not in use.
Take out the battery when it is not using for a long time.
Do not use or store the Meter in a place of humidity, high temperature,
explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field.
If the Meter is wet, dry it before use.

23
Caution
Donít mix to use old and new batteries.
Be careful the polarity is correct when installing batteries.
Danger
Make sure the battery compartment is closed before using the Meter
Follow Figure 4 and proceed as follows to replace the battery:
Turn the Meter to OFF and remove all connections from the terminals.
Remove the screw from the battery compartment, and separate the battery
compartment from the case bottom.
Replace with 6pcs of new 1.5V (LR14) batteries.
