4. Operating instructions

4.1 Initial Checks: to be carried out before any testing;

4.1.1 Preparation 

Always inspect your test instrument and lead accessories for

abnormality or damage-If abnormal conditions exist DO

NOT PROCEED WITH TESTING. Have the instrument

checked by Kewtech.

(1) Operate the Power button and turn on the instrument.

Turn the Function switch and set it to any range at the

LOOP or PSC.

(2) Insert the Test Lead into the instrument.(Fig.3)

(3) Pressing the Noise override switch disables ATT mode.

Then the "ATT" mark on the LCD will disappear.

▲ 

ATT mode enables a measurement without tripping the

RCDs with the rated residual current of 30mA or more.

▲ 

Measurement in ATT mode requires longer time than that

is required for the other measurements (approx. 10 sec).

When measuring a circuit with a large electrical noise, the

'NOISE' mark is displayed on the LCD and the

measurement time will be extended to 20 sec. When the

noise is so great as to influence the test result the 'NOISE'

symbol will flash and --- will appear in the screen. If the

'NOISE' mark is displayed on the LCD, it is recommended

to disable the ATT mode and take a measurement (RCDs

may trip). 

▲

If the impedance of 20

Ω

or more exists between L-N, "no"

is displayed on the LCD and no measurement can be made.

In this case, disable the ATT function and make

measurement. When a large contact voltage exists in the
