Insulation Tester for Electricians

The CEM DT-5500 is a handheld insulation tester built for electricians and maintenance technicians who need to verify insulation resistance up to 2000M?. It also measures AC voltage to 750V, DC voltage to 1000V and low resistance on 200? and 2000? ranges. A 1mA test current at rated voltage supports MegOhm measurements while a 200mA short current drives the continuity function.

Large Dual Display with Backlight

A large dual display with backlight shows simultaneous readings in dim environments and the test hold function freezes values for easy recording. Over-range indication and a low-battery indicator warn the operator during live work. The red enclosure measures 200mm by 92mm by 50mm and weighs 582g, fitting standard tool pouches. The unit meets IEC10101 CAT III 1000V safety requirements.

Supplied Without Batteries or English Manual

The standard package excludes batteries because air-shipping rules forbid them; users must source cells locally before first use. No English user manual is included in the box, though the supplier advises contacting customer service after purchase to obtain one. A three-year parts and one-year labor coverage applies to the instrument itself.

Questions about this item

What voltage does the CAT III 1000V rating cover?

The tester meets IEC 10101 CAT III 1000V, meaning it is rated for measurement circuits up to 1000V in fixed installations.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

The unit measures 200mm x 92mm x 50mm and weighs 582g, so check your tool bag or panel space against those figures.

How is the test hold function activated?

Press the Hold button while a reading is displayed to freeze it; a common mistake is pressing it before the measurement settles.
