W Measuring Insulation Resistance Warning • Measuring insulation resistance requires the application of potentially dangerous voltages to the desired function. Fluke 1520 Users Manual Auto-Shut-Off The Meter automatically turns off after 15 minutes of non-use . In Lo Ohms mode, the meter turns off after 5 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 To turn the meter back on, turn the rotary switch to OFF, then to the circuit.
