10.5 Low Ohms Measurement O -

soon

Always check for voltage 

before testing and measuring 

on a circuit. This instrument is 

intended for measuring Low 

n

and Insulation resistance on 

un-energized circuits only. 

Use the procedure explained 

at points 7.2, 7.3, 7.4. 

The first procedure to follow, 

is to zero the test leads and the fuse resistance. 

The instrument is equipped with a Zero O Knob.

Q�,OiW 

First, short circuit the test leads by connecting them 

together, then, press the test button and adjust the 

zero O knob until the pointer is precisely on the "O" of 

the 5000 scale. 

Use the mirror scale to be precise with the pointer. 

Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured. 

For short test,  press button and keep pressed. 

For long test or hand free
