4. Description of tester unit
The TESTFOX CC–1 is a digital prong-type multimeter with a measuring head
fitted with a Hall sensor.
See fig. 1:
Front panel
The display and operating elements shown in fig. 1 are as follows:
Housing
Sliding switch
for selecting the required functions.
-
OFF
-
AC-voltage measurement (AC) and DC-voltage measurement (DC)
These functions alternate when the function button marked with AC/DC is
pressed. The digital display
indicates the current function.
-
AC-current measurement (AC) and DC-current measurement (DC)
These functions alternate when the function button marked with AC/DC is
pressed. The digital display
indicates the current function.
-
Resistance measurement
and continuity measurement with buzzer
These functions alternate when the function button marked with
/
is
pressed. The digital display
indicates the current function.
Digital display
(liquid-crystal type) with following indications:
- measurement reading with max. indication 3999
- polarity indication
- decimal point
- symbol for discharged battery
- type of voltage selected (AC or DC voltage)
- type of current selected (AC or DC current)
- the measurement value retained (hold function) or the automatically
retained peak measurement value (MAX function)
- the measurement function selected by indication of the extended/non-
extended measurement units of current and resistance
- selected continuity test with buzzer.
Function button AC/DC -
/
. The digital display
shows “DC”, “AC”,
“
”, “buzzer symbol”.
- For selection between measurement of DC voltage/current or AC voltage/
current or
- Resistance measurement and continuity test.
HOLD/MAX button
(hold function and automatic peak-value storage)
- The first press of the button causes the currently indicated measurement
value to be held (indicated by “HOLD” in the digital display
, no updating
of measurement value).
- The second press of the button leads to continuous measurement.
- Pressing the button (for 2 sec.) during switch-on initiates the peak-value
storage (MAX) function. A second press of the button does not lead to
continuous measurement.
- The first press of the button causes the peak value during the switched-
on measuring time to be stored (indicated by “MAX” in the digital display
). For all ranges except continuity test. Switch back (continuous
measurement) by pressing MAX button (2 sec.).
- The function is switched off by pressing the OFF button.
ZERO button
(zero setting button) for zero adjustment in current
measurement. Can also be used for all ranges for differential measurement
