1.
Note the meter reading.
2.
To hold the reading, press and
hold the PWR ON/HOLD button.
3.
A source with a negative polarity
will show a minus (-) sign in the
display.
4.
A positive source will display no sign.
NOTE:
If, as you approach the target,
the indicated field strength begins to
exceed 20kV at a distance greater
than 1",
STOP!
This implies that the
target voltage may be high enough to
create an arc. Proceed with caution.
G. Repeat the procedure outlined above for additional measurements.
H. The instrument will automatically shut off after approximately 90 seconds from
the time the PWR ON/HOLD button was last activated.
I. To retract the spacer, rotate it 180° until it rests parallel to the case with its point
toward the battery compartment.
VIII.
OPERATION WHILE USING THE ONE-INCH SPACER AS A DISTANCE
REFERENCE
In some cases, you may wish to use the spacer to estimate the one-inch distance from a
measurement target surface, but make the measurement without the presence of the spacer
to minimize its influence on measurement accuracy.
A. While holding the ACL 350 in one hand, discharge your body by touching a
grounded conductive object.
1.
The operator may wear a grounded wrist strap or place a grounded wrist
strap cuff around the instrument case beneath the display and operating
buttons.
2.
The case of the instrument is conductive and is the reference for
measurement.
B. Press the POWER ON/HOLD button and release
C. Face the static locator away from charged objects
and depress and release the ZERO button twice.
Note that the display indicates 00.0 volts.
