RANGE SELECTION 
 

The meter is capable of providing flux density measurements on 
one of two fixed ranges. The available ranges are listed in the 

SPECIFICATIONS

 section of this manual.  The ranges advance in 

decade steps.  The lowest range offers the best resolution while 
the highest range allows higher flux levels to be measured. 
 
To choose the desired range rotate the function selector to the 
RANGE position.  The “RANGE” legend will flash.  Press the 
SELECT pushbutton to select the desired range on the display. 
 
This setting is saved and will be restored the next time the meter 
is turned on.
