>1 s. The instrument is in automatic measuring mode when AUTO illuminated on the LC display. 7.2.2. Measuring µA AC or µA DC (testo 770/-2/-3 only) Automatic measuring mode Switch instrument on: set rotary switch to The instrument switches on.
7 Carrying out a measurement The instrument is in AUTO µA mode. Connect test leads: black test lead to black jack, red test lead to red jack. Then connect test leads to the test object. The instrument automatically detects the µA AC µA DC mode.
Serious risk of injury to the user and/or destruction of the instrument during resistance testing. > Test object must be de-energized. External voltages will distort the measurement result. 7.4.1. testo 770-1/-2 Manual measuring mode Switch instrument on: set rotary switch to The instrument is switched on.
7 Carrying out a measurement 7.5. Power measurement (testo 770-3 only) For the power measurement, two measurements are carried out at the same time. The voltage of the measurement object is measured via the jack, input jack and using two test leads. The current of the measurement object must be measured using the clamp meter.
8 Service and maintenance The thermocouple adapter switches on automatically. Activate temperature measurement: press >2 s. The measured values are shown on the LC display in °C and °F. 7.8. Inrush current (INRUSH) The inrush function is an approximation function. This means that readings can differ from one another.
If a malfunction occurs during operation, the ongoing measurement should be stopped immediately. Send the instrument to Testo Service for checking. 8.3. Calibration In order to maintain the specified accuracy of the measurement results, Testo recommends calibrating the instrument once a year.
