SWITCHING THE CLAMP MULTIMETER
The clamp multimeter can be switched off either manually, by setting the switch to
OFF, or automatically, after ten minutes with no action on the switch and/or the
keys. Thirty (30) seconds before the device is switched off, an audible signal
sounds intermittently. To re-activate the device, press any key or turn the switch.

CONFIGURATION
As a safety measure, and to avoid repeated overloads on the inputs of the device,
we recommend performing configuration operations only when the device is
disconnected from all dangerous voltages.
3.4.1
Programming of the maximum resistance allowed for a
continuity
To program the maximum resistance allowed for a continuity
1. From the OFF position, hold the
key down while turning the switch to
,
until the "full screen" display ends and a beep is emitted, to enter the
configuration mode. The display unit indicates the value below which the
buzzer is activated and the
symbol is displayed.
The value stored by default is
40Ω. The possible values lie between 1Ω
and 999Ω.
2. To change the threshold, press the
key. The right-hand digit flashes:
each press on the
key increments it. To shift to the next digit, apply a
long press (>2s) to the
key.
To exit from the programming mode, turn the switch to another setting. The
detection threshold chosen is stored (emission of a double beep).
3.4.2
De-activation of automatic switching off (Auto Power OFF)
To de-activate automatic switching off:
In the OFF position, hold the
key down while turning the switch to
, until the "full screen" display ends and a beep is emitted, to enter the
configuration mode. The
symbol is displayed.
When the
key is released, the device is in the voltmeter function in
the normal mode.
The return to Auto Power OFF takes place when the clamp is switched
back on.
