Function Controls - AEMC 3710 User Manual

Function Controls

Model 3710 and 3730 share common functions (On/Off, A, Ω , Auto-off,
Buzzer disable, Hold). Even though the Model 3710 is shown in the
examples for these functions, the controls will respond identically for the
Model 3730.
On/Off
The ON/OFF push-button, when pushed actuates power on or power off
with an audible control tone. Upon initial power-up, the instrument will
be in the Ohms function (Ω) and will go to OL until clamped on. When
the ON push-button is pushed and held down, after three seconds the
instrument will beep and provide a self test featuring a full function dis-
play (Fig. 4) followed by status indications for:
a. Status of remaining battery life (battery symbol blinks, 0-100%) (Fig. 5)
b. Number of stored values in memory (MEM blinks, 0-99) (Model 3730
only)
Release the ON/OFF push-button to initialize the instrument.
A light chirping sound may be heard in the Ω mode. This is a normal
condition generated by the instruments power management system.
