Beyond 1400A DC, the display indicates «-OL» or «+OL», according to the polarity
of the current measured.
Beyond 1400A peak (AC), the display indicates “OL”.
➠
Specific characteristics in MIN/MAX mode:
Extreme capture time: about 100 ms, displayed every 400 ms.
➠
Specific characteristics in PEAK mode:
Intrinsic error: 10%L +5 pt.
Capture time for PEAK value: 1 to 4 ms according to peak value.
Measuring continuity
•
Connect the measurement cords onto the tester’s terminals.
•
Set the rotating switch to the “continuité
Ω
” position.
•
Connect the tester to the resistance to measure. Once contact is made (circuit closed), the
buzzer sounds constantly when the value of the resistance measured is below 40
Ω
(value
programmable from 1 to 40
Ω
).
This measurement is performed in the 400
Ω
range only. There is no manual or automatic
range switch. Beyond 400
Ω
, the display indicates OL.
There is no compensation for the measurement cords’ resistance (low
resistance measurement).
To view the minimum and maximum values of the current reading, press the “MIN/MAX”
key several times.
Setting the continuity threshold: press and hold the yellow key, set the switch from OFF to
the
Ω
position. Then, change the value by pressing the yellow key several times.
Measuring resistance
•
Connect the measurement cords onto the tester’s terminals.
•
Set the rotating switch to “
Ω
”.
•
Press the yellow key once to select the “
Ω
” function.
•
Connect the tester to the resistance to measure.
Resistance measurements are performed over 4 ranges: 400
Ω
, 4000
Ω
, 40 k
Ω
, and
400 k
Ω
, although the buzzer is deactivated in the 400 _ range, unlike in continuity
measurement. The ranges are selected automatically by the tester. Beyond 400 k
Ω
, the
display indicates OL.
The resistance of the measurement cords is not compensated (low resistance measurement).
To view the minimum and maximum values for the current reading, press the “MIN/MAX” key.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY MEASUREMENTS
Beyond the max value of the highest display range, the display indicates “OL”.
