4.5.2.  Clamp operation check 

1. Press and hold the multifunction key “

1

” for more than 2 seconds to switch on the 

instrument. 

2. The displayed message “

OL 

” indicates that the instrument is ready to carry out 

measurements 

3. Open the jaws (the display will show the screen in Fig. 7) and clamp the test loop 

provided as accessory (see Fig. 8).

Fig. 8: Resistance measurement of test loop 

 

4. Check that the test resistance value is equal to 

5.1

. A value measured by the 

instrument showing a difference of 

0.1

 with respect to the rated value is acceptable (a 

display of 5.0

 or 5.2

).
