Before starting another measurement operation, short-circuit the + and - terminals to enable self- discharge. The ZR-RX40 has a scan system. While in the status (open) in which signals are not input to the input terminal, measured results may be influenced by signals from other channels.
Connect the signal chassis GND and the ZR-RX40’s chassis GND. Use a short, thick lead to connect the chassis GND of the measurement object to the ZR-RX40’s chassis GND. It will become even more effective if the ground potentials are the same.
Setting the Date and Time The ZR-RX40 includes a rechargeable internal battery for backup. If you are using the ZR-RX40 for the first time, charge the internal rechargeable battery and then make the date and time settings. Note If the ZR-RX40 is not used for a period of approximately six months, the internal rechargeable battery may be discharged and the date and time may revert to the initial settings.
