5. Tests, Inductive mode
Inductive test mode allows users to measure resistance of an inductive load (i.e. motors, small power transformers,
etc.).
Note:
Test current can measure up to 1 A.
Note:
Pre-charging; before any measurement can be made, the circuit needs to be ‘pre-charged’.
This is carried out at a low current (1 mA) and is indicated on the display by an animated sequence
of chevrons (< << <<< <<<<).
The animation will be displayed until the pre-charge phase is complete.
Warning: When inductive loads are measured it is essential that the current carrying leads are securely
clamped to the item being tested and that they are not removed before any stored charge has been
discharged at the end of the test. Failure to comply with these instructions might result in an arc being
produced which might be dangerous for the instrument and the operator.
5.1 Manual stop
1. Turn rotary switch to select the inductive mode position.
5.1.1 First test
Inductive test screen appears, ‘Inductive Mode’ shows in
secondary field for a short time then disappears.
Note:
Soft key 1 toggles manual / auto stop.
2. Select MANUAL on soft key 1.
3. Connect C1-C2 and P1-P2 to the instrument and the unit
under test.
C and P indicators show red background with
for no
continuity or green background with
for good continuity.
Proceed when both show
. The continuity indicators are
active during the test and will update if continuity changes.
