Functions
5.1
[ON/TEST] key (on/off function)
When the [ON/TEST] key is pressed, the meter will power on, carry out an automatic battery test
under load and display the result.
The applied voltage will then automatically be measured and displayed. All functions of the meter
will be automatically disabled until no applied voltage is measured.
5.2
Battery test
The battery test is carried out automatically when the meter is turned on. For this test, a load will
be applied to the inserted batteries for a short time and the result will be shown in the display.
The battery level will be displayed at any time. The battery icon will flash if the battery level is too
low.
5.3
Voltmeter
There is no key for this measuring function as this is the meter’s standard mode. Before each test
and before the test leads are connected, the meter will measure the applied voltage (AC/DC).
5.4
Auto Hold
The Auto Hold function is always enabled (visible on the display).
This function holds the last valid measured value so that it is displayed even after disconnecting
the test leads. This allows you to concentrate on the test leads during the measurement and view
the value on the display when the measurement is finished.
5.5
250 V, 500 V, 1 kV insulation resistance measurement
If you want to make an insulation resistance measurement, the test leads must be connected to
the circuit to be measured. If a voltage is present in the circuit, this voltage will be shown in the
display and the resistance measurement will be cancelled. An insulation resistance measurement
is only possible if no voltage is present.
If no voltage is present, press the key for the insulation resistance measurement and then start
the measurement by pressing the [ON/TEST] key. The measurement can be interrupted at any
time or is interrupted automatically, depending on the selected measuring mode (see EnerSave).
5.6
[ON/TEST] key (measuring function)
The [ON/TEST] key can be used to start and stop a measurement (see EnerSave).
