6.3.3 Printing saved values
This function is used to print out saved values stored in the memory in “doc” format (measurements one
after the other with the date, time etc…) or in “prt” format (measurement protocol = general summary
table in A4 format).
1. Connect the instrument to the printer with the appropriate cable (see chapter 6.1). Do not
switch on the serial printer until after having switched on the instrument, otherwise “?” signs
are printed indefinitely.
2. Turn the selector switch so that the instrument is in “voltage measurement” mode.
3. Press the PRINT button: “Pr” is displayed.
The A4 or A6 printing format programmed in SET-UP is displayed (changing this is possible with
CHANGE).
4. Press PRINT again:
The type of print out programmed in SET-UP is displayed (“ Prt “ or “doc”, changing this is possible
with CHANGE). The small display at the top indicates the memory address corresponding to the start
of the print job. The large central display shows the memory address at the end of the print job
(changing this is possible with SELECT and CHANGE).
5. Press PRINT for a third time:
Validation and start of print job.

6.4 Saving or printing at programmable intervals
“Interval” mode is used for automatic saving or printing out of “Loop” or “Earth” measurements at a
programmed rate. It is also possible to monitor the changes in these parameters with time, as a function
of the weather for example.
The interval between each measurement (int.) can be set from 0.1 to 199.9 minutes.
As the environment of measurements (voltage, frequency, current…) is always measured and saved at
the same time as the measurements, this function can serve, for example, to record the leakage currents
of an installation over a long period of time.
WARNING: if the current clamp is connected on positions Ra SEL and Zs SEL, then it is the selective
earth current measurement and not the leakage current of the installation that will be recorded. For
leakage currents, use the Zs function instead without RCD tripping (
).
Recording begins at the first memory address that comes free after the last occupied address.
Running “Interval” mode:
1. Turn the selector switch to the required measurement function (R
