PRS-812 Resistance Meter

NOTE

  

If 

RECALL

 is not pressed, a fifth time 

OOPS

 will be displayed in the 

LCD when 

TEST

 is next pressed. To Clear 

OOPS

, press 

RESET

. The instrument will 

return to normal operations.

[5] CLEAR

 

 

In normal operations 

CLEAR

 erases data in Memory Register, discards most  

 

 

 

recent measurement, or turns the 

REC

 function 

OFF

 as follows: 

a.  When in any operation mode, and 

HOLD

 is not displayed, pressing 

CLEAR 

will erase all data stored in Memory.

 

NOTE

 

The process of turning the 

REC

 function 

OFF

 will clear the Memory 

Register of all stored data. Be sure that this is indeed desirable before 

pressing the 

CLEAR

 button.

 

b.  If a measurement is displayed in 

HOLD

, prior to pressing 

RESET

 buton 

pushing 

CLEAR

 will discard that held value and will not enter it into 

Memory. Other data in Memory Register remains intact. 

c.  If reviewing data in the Memory Register while in the 

RECALL

 mode, 

pressing 

CLEAR

 will discard the displayed data point. Other data in 

Memory Register remains intact and indexes down one space to replace 

the discarded data point. 

d.  When in any operation mode, and 

HOLD

 is not displayed, pressing 

CLEAR 

will erase all data stored in the Memory Register. Pressing 

OFF

 

will disble the 

REC

 mode and the instrument will be de-energized. When 

powered up again the 

REC

 mode will remain disabled until 

RECORD/RE

-

CALL

 is pressed once.

[6] ON/OFF 

 

Turns instrument 

ON

 for normal operations, performs functional & Battery  

 

 

 

tests, turns instrument 

OFF

.

[7] BATT. TEST 

 

Displays 

GOOD

 on LCD if battery provides acceptable voltage for accurate   

 

 

 

measurements, or displays 

Lo

 if unacceptable and batteries require replace 

 

 

 

ment.

[8] RESET

 

 

Saves measurement and prepares instrument for next test cycle, i.e., enters  

 

 

 

measurement into Memory Register if 

REC

 is 

ON

, and clears 

HOLD

 and the  

 

 

 

LCD display between measurements.

[9] TEST

 

 

Begins measurement sequence in accordance with selected mode

[10] BATTERY 

 

BUSS CUT OFF

  

Battery buss cut-off switch is used to isolate the main batteries from the    

 

 

             instrument’s circuit during battery change, instrument storage and  

 

 

 

 

transport.
