The AEMC (2117.72) 1026 Digital Multi-Function Megohmmeter is a compact, lightweight, battery-operated, hand-held meter. It provides four functional tests: it is a megohmmeter, DC voltmeter, AC voltmeter, ohmmeter and a continuity tester. The Model 1026 tests at 250V, 500V and 1000V and measures insulation resistance from 1kΩ to 4000MΩ. The Model 1026 also features a continuity test range with audible beeper for resistances under 40Ω, and a 600VAC range for safety voltage check. In addition, the Model 1026 has an ohmmeter to measure from 0.1Ω to 4000Ω.

The press-to-test button has an associated locking feature for continuous tests up to three minutes, eliminating the need to manually hold down the button.

Other features include: a large 31/2 digit LCD for easy viewing; the data hold button retains the value on the display when pressed to facilitate correct recording of information, and a low battery indicator appears on the LCD when it is necessary to change batteries. This hand-held, easy-to-use megohmmeter can be used for most commonly performed insulation tests, such as on cables, switch gears, motors, DC generators, power tools and small appliances.
