    Before switching on the apparatus, make sure that it is set to the voltage of the power supply. The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated by the use of an extension lead without a protective conductor. DO4A Issue 3/2001...

    BS 88 : PART 2 6. Battery Charging The DO4A has a built-in sealed lead acid battery, which is fully charged when delivered. This type of battery has advantages over other types of rechargeable batteries; it is more tolerant to erratic charging cycles thus giving a better service life.

    The LED will stay lit to warn that an offset is stored. This offset and lamp will be cancelled if the range is changed or the instrument switched off. A maximum of ±100 digits can be offset. DO4A Issue 3/2001...

    9. Methods of Measurement 9.1 Ohmmeter Connections The Digital Ohmmeter type DO4A employs a four-wire method of measurement, ie. it is necessary to make four connections to the resistor under test. The instrument is supplied with four leads; two for the potential connections which are made across the test resistor at the points between which the resistance is to be determined, and two for the current connections which connects the test resistor to the supply circuit.

    10. Power Up When the DO4A is first switched on, a lamp test is automatically performed, all display segments are illuminated followed by each LED lighting in sequence. The microprocessor checks for correct internal operation and indicates "P" if all tests pass O.K.

    4mΩ, 40mΩ, 400mΩ, 4Ω, and 400Ω and 4kΩ. A calibration key is supplied with the instrument. The DO4A is designed to eliminate all calibration. The factory adjusted internal standards are constructed to give long term stability and minimal drift. However, for those wishing to adjust the ohmmeter, proceed as follows.

    2 hours before calibration. Select the 4mΩ range and connect a 4 milliohm Standard. This Standard should be within 0.01% or better of the nominal value. Press the CAL button and the DO4A will automatically measure the standard and store any calibration offsets.
