6.1.1. Calibrating the test leads ("CAL" Mode)
1. Connect the Red and Black test leads to
B1
and
B4
input terminals
respectively.

Connection of the test leads during calibration procedure.
2. If the test leads supplied with the instrument are not long enough for the
measurement you can extend the black cable.
3. Short-circuit the measuring cable ends making sure that the conductive parts of the
crocodiles make a good contact to each other (see previous picture).
4. Press the
F2
key. The instrument carries out the calibration.
CAUTION
Never disconnect the test leads when the message
"MEASURING"
is
displayed.

A numerical value
in this field means
that the instrument
has been
calibrated; this
value
remains on
the display for
any further

even though the
unit is switched off
and on again.

5. At the end of the test the result is stored and used as
OFFSET (that is to say
that it is subtracted from any continuity test carried out)
for all the
subsequent measurements.
Note
:
The instrument performs the calibration only if the resistance of the test leads is
lower than
5

.
