Page: 42 / 105

Inspection Before Use

Measure samples (such as battery, commercial power
supply, and resistor) of which values have already been
known, and check that the appropriate values appear.

Check method

Action

Example:
Perform the AC voltage
measurement to measure the
commercial power supply, and then
check the display.

Red

Black

(The position of the rotary switch
varies depending on the model.)

Normal:

An already-known value appears.
(In this example, the commercial
voltage level should appear.)

Abnormal:

The measured value does not
appear.
The malfunction may occur.
Stop the inspection and do not use
the instrument.
