Measurement

Attention !
Be  absolutely  certain  that  the  device  under  test
is voltage-free.

7.1

Continuity Testing

*

Verify that device under test is electrically dead.

*

Set the function selector switch to “     ” position.

*

If required null lead resistance by doing Zero adjustment below.

*

Connect the device under test as shown in diagram.

*

The measured resistance value will be displayed on the display.

*

The  instrument  generates  a  continuous  sound  signal  if 
the measured resistance value is less than the pre-setted 
“GoNoGO” value. Default value is 5

W

Refer to the “11. Menu structure” section for how to set the value
 for the limit value.

7.2

Low Ohm Measurement (

W

)

*

Verify that device under test is electrically dead.

*

Set the function selector switch to “ 

W

 ” position.

*

If required null lead resistance by doing zero adjustment below.

*

Connect the device under test as shown in diagram

*

The measured resistance value will be displayed on the display.

*

The  instrument  generates  a  continuous  sound  signal  if  the
measured resistance value is less than the pre-setted 
“GoNoGO”  value. Default value is 0

W

Refer  to  the  “11.  Menu  structure”  section  for  how  to  set  the 
value for the limit value.

7.3

Zero adjustment

When  measuring  very  low  resistance  values,  you  can  eliminate 
resistance of leads and contact resistance by zero adjustment.

*

Connect the test leads to instrument and connect the free ends of
 the leads to one another.

*

Wait for reading to stabilize.

*

Briefly  press  the  “TEST”  push  button.  The  instrument 
acknowledges  zero  adjustment  by  a  sound  signal  and 
the  LCD  shows  “0.00”  (+1digit)  and  the  symbol  “ZERO”  (17)  is
displayed. The resistance measured at the instant the push button
is pressed is used as reference value (0-9.99

W

). It is automatically

deducted from the values measured thereafter.

*

Zero adjustment can be cleared.

Ø

 

By pressing the “TEST” button once again.

Ø

 By switching the instrument off.

Also zero adjustment is cleared when Auto shutOFF operates.

Additional features available in Ohm and Continuity ranges.

1.

Pre-selectable limit checks (Go/Nogo option)

2.

Storing the measured resistance value.

3.

Minimum and Maximum value “MIN/MAX” storage.
