5. MEASURING LENGTH OF WIRE
1. Turn on the meter and perform the calibration procedure first.
2. Allow the meter to attain the same temperature as the wire under test.
NOTE: Temperature can affects accuracy of the measurement. Please see accuracy
specifications above. For best results, allow the meter to attain the same ambient
temperature with the wire under measurement.
WARNING: MAKE SURE WIRE UNDER TEST IS NOT
ENERGIZED. NEVER APPLY VOLTAGE TO INPUTS.
3. Strip the insulation on each end of the wire being tested.
NOTE: Make sure both ends of the wire under test are clean and the conductor is fully
exposed. The insulation must be stripped away so the Kelvin clips can be good
connected across the diameter of the wire.
4. Using the selector on the BS33, turn to the size of wire under test.
5. Press the “COPPER” button if copper wire is being tested. The “
Cu
” enunciator will
illuminate in the top of the display.
6. Press the “ALUM” button if copper wire is being tested. The “
Al
” enunciator will illuminate
in the top of the display.
7. Press the “FT” button if you require readings to be in feet. The “
ft
” enunciator will
illuminate in the display.
8. Press the “M” button if you require readings to be in meter. The ”M” enunciator will
illuminate in the display.
9. Connect a Kevin clip to one of the wire and the other Kelvin clip to the next end of the wire.
10. Read the length of wire directly from the display. Please note that the “k” enunciator
illuminates if measurements are at or above 10000 meters / feets.
For example, when measuring the wire is 15000m long, the meter will display as “15 k m”
or the wire is 10000ft long, the meter will display as “10 k ft”
11. Disconnect the test leads from the meter after measurement.
