Lead resistence of sensors can be considered up to a value of 50 

Ω as follows:

The temperature measurement range is now selected.

Ø

The LCD now displays. the zero resistance value.  So that you can recognize that 
this is the resistance correction value on the temperature measuring  range, the “

 

0

C” character is simultaneously shown.

Ø

You can set the line resistance correction value as follows: 
Press  the  DATA-MIN/MAX  pushbutton  (3)  to  increment  the  value,  or  the   
AUTO/MAN  pushbutton  (4)  to  decrement  the  value.    Each  time  the   
pushbutton is briefly pressed, the value changes by one digit.   you pass   
through fast, when you press the pushbutton longer.

Ø

Briefly press the yellow multi-function pushbutton (5) again.
The  LCD  displays  the  measured  temperature  in  consideration  of  the     
changed lead resistance.

Ø

Each  following  time  the  yellow  multi-function  pushbutton  (5)  is  briefly 
pressed,  the  display  changes  between  measured  temperature  with 
changed lead resistance and correction value of the lead resistance.

You  can  exit  the  function  “temperature  measurement  with  changed  lead 
resistance”.

Set the function selector switch (6) to Hz.

Ø

Verify that the device under test is electrically dead. External voltages 
would falsify the measured results!

Ω

When  measuring  small  resistance  values  on  the  300 

Ω

  range,  you  can   

eliminate  the  resistance  of  the  leads  and  contact  resistance  by  zero 
adjustment.

Ø

Connect the test leads to the meter and join the free ends.

Ø

Briefly press the yellow multi-function pushbutton (5).

The meter acknowledges zero adjustment by a sound signal, the LCD 
shows “ 000,00” resp. “0,0000” (+1 digit) and symbol “ZERO” (18) is 
displayed.    The  resistance  measured  the  instant  the  pushbutton  is 
pressed  is  used  as  reference  value  (max.  2000  digits).    it  is 
automatically deducted from the values measured thereafter.

You can clear the zero adjustment

à

by  pressing  the  yellow  multifunction  pushbutton  (5)  for  a  long  time, 

clearance is acknowledged by the buzzer sounding twice,

à

by switching the instrument off.
