Reed Insulation Resistance Meter R5600 1000V Dual Display with

Description

Product Overview

The Reed R5600 Insulation Resistance Meter is engineered for precise megohm measurements in industrial and scientific environments. Measuring up to 1000 V, it offers three selectable test voltages—250 V, 500 V, and 1000 V—allowing you to match the test level to the equipment under inspection. A dedicated 1 mA test current provides accurate readings in the megaohm range, while a 200 mA continuity mode quickly verifies low‑resistance paths. The meter features a large, dual‑segment LCD with backlight, ensuring readability in dimly lit spaces. Powered by four AAA batteries (included) and housed in a compact 3.5 × 8 × 2 in. case, the R5600 balances portability with durability.

Usage

Designed for electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance engineers, the R5600 excels in field diagnostics, equipment commissioning, and routine safety inspections. Whether you are testing motor windings, transformer insulation, or cable integrity, the meter’s selectable voltage options let you apply the appropriate stress without over‑exposing sensitive components. The built‑in continuity test is perfect for quick wire tracing and connector verification. Its rugged hard‑case protects the instrument from drops and spills, making it suitable for construction sites, factories, and laboratory settings.
