4.4.3 Relative measurements

• 

Pressing the “

REL 

” button once enter the relative measurement 

mode. In this mode the instrument offsets all the following 
measurements with the value present at the time the relative mode 
was entered. 

• 

The relative mode can be used conmbined with any other function, 
including MAX, MIN, MAX-MIN and AVG readings of the RECORD 
function.

• 

Pressing the “

REL 

” button again exits this function.

4.4.4 Trigger Level selection

• 

When measuring Frequency, Dwell or Pulse Width, and the 
readings are unstable or if there is not reading at all, it maybe be 
necesary to change the trigger level. 

• 

To change the trigger level, press the “

RANGE

” button once to 

display the selected level, and then press the “

RANGE

” button 

within 1 second. Every time the button is pressed the trigger level 
will change to the next value (1V, 2V, 20V and 200V).

4.4.5 Trigger Slope selection

• 

The slope function is useful when performing 

Dwell

 and 

Pulse 

Width 

(

Fuel Injector

) measurements. For example, if you are 

measuring a signal with 10% duty cycle when the trigger is set 
to 

+

, the same waveform will show a duty cycle of 90% when the 

trigger is set to 

.

• 

To Toggle between 

and

  , 

press and hold the 

+ Trigger

5. MAINTENANCE

  

CAUTION:

 

Before attempting battery removal  or replacement, 
disconnect test leads and remove the instrument from 
any energized circuit to avoid shock hazard.

5.1 Battery Replacement

• 

To replace the battery, remove the 3 screws of the back cover (back 
of the case), and lift the end of the case nearest to the input sockets, 
until it unsnaps from the case top. Remove the battery.

• 

Replace with a new 9 V alkaline battery type NEDA 1604 or IEC6F22 
observing the proper polarity from the diagram on the label inside 
the battery compartment.

• 

Reinstall the case cover, ensuring that all gaskets are properly 
seated, and that the snaps on the case top (near the LCD Display) 
are engaged. Replace and tighten the securing screws.

5.2 Fuse replacement

• 

To replace the fuse, remove the 3 screws of the back cover (back of 
the case), and lift the end of the case nearest to the input sockets, 
until it unsnaps from the case top. 

• 

Replace new fuse only with the identical type and rating. 

 F2=10A

:  

Type IEC60127-2 or UL248-14 (6.3x25.4mm)  

 

 

fast acting fuse, rated at 10A/250V.

• 

Reinstall the case cover, ensuring that all gaskets are properly 
seated, and that the snaps on the case top (near the LCD Display) 
are engaged. Replace and tighten the securing screws.

5.3 Cleaning And Storage

• 

Periodically wipe the case with a soft damp cloth and mild house-
hold cleanser. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure that no 
water gets inside the instrument to prevent possible shorts and 
damage.

• 

If the instrument is not to be use for long periods of time ( 60 days or 
more) to avoid damage due to battery leakage, remove the battery 
from the instrument and store it separately.
