Press any button to recover from an APO condition. Low battery indication When the icon appears in the display, the battery should be replaced. Refer to the battery replacement procedure in the maintenance section. MA610-en-GB_V1.0 12/16 GlobalTestSupply www. .com d Quality Products Online at:...
NOTES: To ensure maximum accuracy, place the conductor at the center of the clamp head, otherwise additional error (± 1.0%) may apply. Fig. 2 – Correct and Incorrect ACA Clamping MA610-en-GB_V1.0 12/16 GlobalTestSupply www. .com d Quality Products Online at:...
Short press the Hz % button to step through frequency and duty cycle readings. Short press the H button to freeze/unfreeze the displayed reading. NOTES: The LCD displays OL when the input exceeds 1000V.

Relative mode is active. Short press the REL button to exit the relative mode. NOTE: When measuring resistance >1MΩ the meter may require several seconds to obtain a stable reading. Fig. 4 – Resistance Measurements MA610-en-GB_V1.0 12/16 GlobalTestSupply www. .com d Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.c...
If the resistance is < 10Ω, the meter will beep. If the resistance is > 70Ω, the meter will not beep. If the resistance is between 10 and 70Ω, the meter will stop beeping at an unspecified point.

Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component. Read the Frequency measurement on the meter display. Use the Hz% button to view Duty Cycle %. Fig. 6 – Frequency Measurements MA610-en-GB_V1.0 12/16 GlobalTestSupply www. .com d Quality Products Online at:...
Relative (REL) mode can be used to zero the display before taking a measurement. Short press the REL button to null the display, the relative symbol (triangle) will appear. Short press the REL button again to exit the REL mode. Fig. 7 – Capacitance Measurements MA610-en-GB_V1.0 12/16 GlobalTestSupply www. .com d Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.c...
Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate a reading close to ‘0’ ohms in both directions. An open device will indicate ‘OL’ in both directions. Fig. 8 – Diode Testing MA610-en-GB_V1.0 12/16 GlobalTestSupply www. .com d Quality Products Online at:...
