Clamp Multimeter METRACLIP 86
English
3.6.1
Automatic compensation of the resistance of the leads
Warning :
before the compensation is executed, the MAX/MIN and HOLD modes
must be de-activated.
To perform automatic compensation of the resistance of the leads, proceed as
follows:
1.
Short-circuit the leads connected to the device.
2.
Hold the
key down until the display unit indicates the lowest
value. The device measures the resistance of the leads.
3.
Release the
key. The correction and the
symbole are
displayed. The value displayed is stored.
Remark :
the correction value is stored only if it is
≤
2
Ω
. Above 2
Ω
, the value displayed blinks and is not stored.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
Ω
Warning :
Before making a resistance measurement, make sure that the circuit is
cold and any capacitors have been discharged.
1.
Set the switch to
and press the
key. The
Ω
symbol is
displayed;
2.
Connect the black lead to the
COM
terminal and the red lead to «
+
»;
3.
Place the test probes or the crocodile clips on the terminals of the
circuit or component to be measured ;
The measured value is displayed on the screen
Remark :
to measure low resistance values, first carry out the compensation of the
resistance of the leads (see §
