Relative zero mode (Single Display Models only)
Relative zero mode allows the user to offset the meter consecutive measurements
with the displaying reading as the reference value. The display will now show readings
relative to the stored reference value. That is, display = reading - stored value. Press
the button momentarily toggles to relative zero mode.
Auto-ranging
Where there is more than one measuring range under a selected meter function, the
LCD annunciator “
a
” turns on. The meter will automatically switch to the best resolution
range when making measurements. No manual ranging selection is required.
Auto Power Off (APO)
When the meter is on, the Auto Power Off (APO) feature will switch the meter into a
sleep mode automatically to extend battery life after approximately 30 minutes of no
slide-switch nor push button operations. To wake up the meter from APO, press the
buttons momentarily or set the slide-switch to the OFF position and then slide back on
again. Always set the slide-switch to the OFF position manually when the meter is not
in use.
5) MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads
from the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate
with open case.
Trouble Shooting
If the instrument fails to operate, check batteries and test leads etc., and replace as
necessary. Double check operating procedure as described in this user’s manual.
If the instrument voltage-resistance input terminal has subjected to high voltage
transient (caused by lightning or switching surge to the system) by accident or
abnormal conditions of operation, the series fusible resistors will be blown off (become
high impedance) like fuses to protect the user and the instrument. Most measuring
functions through this terminal will then be open circuit. The series fusible resistors and
the spark gaps should then be replaced by qualified technician. Refer to the LIMITED
WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.
