CAUTION
TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD, CONNECT THE INSTRUMENT POWER CORD TO A POWER
RECEPTACLE WITH EARTH GROUND.
NOTE
Apply the rated voltage and frequency to the meter as marked on the rear panel of the meter.
TURING THE METER ON
To turn the meter on, press the POWER button located on the lower-left of the front panel. If you turn
the meter off, you must wait five seconds before turning the meter back on. If you do not, the meter
will not power-up.
When the meter is turned on, the full screen displays light while the instrument performs an internal
self-test of its digital circuitry. These tests check RAM, ROM, A/D, and the display. The meter has
passed all tests and is ready for normal operation if an error code is not displayed.
After the meter completes the power-up sequence, it assumes the power-up measurement
configuration stored in non-volatile memory. The power-up configuration set at the factory is shown
in Table 3-6. (To change the power-up configuration, refer to “CHANGING THE POWER-UP
CONFIGURATION” in Section 3.)
USING THE PUSHBUTTONS
The pushbuttons on the front panel select meter functions and operations. A summary of basic
pushbutton operations is shown in Figure2-3.
