7.7. ENER-SAVE
TM
- Mode
*
Saves battery life by automatically turning the instrument to
low consumption (reducing the test duration).
*
Default mode.
*
Enabled when pressing the TEST button (1) for less than
3 seconds.
*
Disabled when pressing the TEST button (1) for more than
3 seconds.
*
When disabled, the instrument operates in continuous mode.
7.8. Voltage output bar-graph
The bar-graph displays the voltage present on the leads. It also
displays the voltage charging a cable or capacitive system under
test and displays the decay during the automatic capacitive
discharge of the system under test.
7.9. Auto-low resistance detect
While in insulation test mode and if the L.C.D. displays "LOW
M
", stop the test immediately.
This could mean that the insulation has a breakdown, thus, you
are now trying to inject a very high voltage on a short circuit.
7.10. Timer
The duration of the test is shown on the L.C.D. This is particularly
useful to verify that insulation does not break down within a
certain time.
