3.6 Voltage Detecting Function
3.6 Voltage Detecting Function
This function should be used for the covered
power line. Depending on the measurement sta-
tus, the power may not be detected. Before using
this function, check that the measuring device can
detect the existing live power line.
Functions

Description This function allows you to check whether the
power line is live. If the line is live, the measure-
ment product indicates that fact both audibly
(intermittent sound) and visually (display).
1.
Move the function selector to
the
V position, and press
the REC•MEMO button twice
(“1” lights up).
2.
Bring the measurement
product close to the power
line.
3.
If necessary, change the
detection range with the
RANGE button.
When the line is live, the bar
graph fluctuates.
When the voltage is outside
of the detection range, an
intermittent sound is gener-
ated and the display blinks.

Guidelines for detect-
ing power line level
1-3: Approx. 100 V
4: Approx. 200 V
The voltage detecting sensor is
mounted at the top of the mea-
surement product.
Bring the top close to the
power line, as shown at left.
