WR14 / WR50-12/13 Winding Resistance Meter Instruction Manual

Version 3.03

After charging the transformer, the instrument
system monitors the measurements until the results
are stable.

The results are then stored automatically.

Press the “Stop” Button, at any time, to halt the
measurement.

After storing the last measurement, the instrument
turns off the output Current, stops the measurement
and automatically discharges the transformer until
the test object is safe.
