Figure11-Short Clear
Quick Clear Procedure
Below is an example of steps to follow to do open or short clear:
1. Select the primary and secondary function mode for measurement;
2. Select test frequency;
3. Select equivalent mode;
4. Keep the test terminal open to perform open clear;
5. Short the test terminal to perform short clear;
6. Connect DUT to start testing after clear.
NOTE:
1. Clear data is just temporarily stored in RAM, which means that the data will
loss after power-off. Therefore “ clear ” , prior to measurement, should be first
done after power-on.
2. Clear data is stored under different frequency, thus they will be still valid at the
change of test frequency (for instance, under the frequency of 1kHz, the meter
has been cleared; and when the frequency is back to 1kHz, there is no need
to clear again.)
3. Clear is not concerned with test parameters and series/parallel equivalent
mode. In accordance with developed impedance network principle, the
instrument performs clear operation. Though the complex impedance is
cleared, parameter is just the element after the change of impedance.
4. After a long time of continuous use, the meter will be affected by the
temperature environment and test fixtures, test leads and contact resistance
will change. It should be necessary to clear once more according to specific
conditions so as to meet the requirement of accuracy.
6.13 Remote Control (RMT)
When the RMT button is used for remote communication, please see “REMOTE
COMMUNICATION” section for details.
6.14 Fuse Detection
The meter has an internal fuse in the test signal terminal that protects the inputs from
severely damaging the instrument. When the fuse is burned out, the “FUSE” indicator
will appear on the primary display and an internal “ beep ” will sound continuously. In
this situation, none of the function buttons can be operated and all other meter
functions will be disabled.
