1. Safety rules The meter has been designed with safety in mind. However, no design can completely protect against incorrect use. Electrical circuits are dangerous and lethal through lack of caution or poor safety practice. The following rules should reduce the danger : ●...
BESANTEK • The meter should only be used by a c , o mpetent, suitably trained person which understand fully this test & measurement procedure. & Warning, risk of electric shock. & Caution, refer to this manual before using the meter.

Should the current regulation drops out, the R Led will lit, indicating that the resistance in the current circuit is too high. (Lowering the current by selecting a higher resistance range can solve the regulation.) Should the R Led lit, that mean that the voltage measured on the resistance is too high, and therefore over-range.
BESANTEK The voltage between P, and P is also protected for over voltage but does not have a fuse. The meter has a temperature shut down. The temperature sensing is done on the current regulation transistor. Should this over-temperature let lit, allow the instrument to cool down for a while before proceeding further.
4. Preparation for use When unpacked, the meter should be inspected for any visible signs of damage, and the preliminary checks described in the user's manual should be performed to ensure that it is operating correctly. If there is any sign of damage, or if the meter does not operate correctly, return it to your nearest supplier.
Total check can be done by shorting all the test leads together C . The display should indicate close to 0000 (depending of the crocodiles clips used and how they are shorted). Both R and R LED should be OFF, indicating that everything work ok.
BESANTEK 7. Measuring • Perform the preliminary checks before proceeding with measurement and ensure that the precautions listed are observed. • Connect the test leads (color coded) to the instrument as shown. • The current test leads must always be outside of the potential test leads.
BESANTEK 8. Simplified measurement The 4 wires measurement has many advantages. The errors due to the resistance of the test leads and the contacts as well as R and R are eliminated. However, in some cases, for example when using the high resistance...
9. Applications The digital milli-ohmmeter, with its measuring range of 100 µohms to 2000 ohms, is suitable for a wide range of applications such as : ● Measuring the winding resistance of electric motors, generators and transformers. ● Bond testing in mines, aircraft, railways, ships, domestic and industrial wiring installations.
Length of the potential leads should be as short as possible. Insulated 16/0.2mm, tinned copper wire is recommended. The two potential leads should have the same length to minimise inaccuracies due to unbalance. SUPPLIED POTENTIAL TEST LEADS test lead is of Red color, shrouded, 4mm safety plug which at one end have a crocodile (alligator) clip for connection to the resistance to be measured.
Most conductors have a large temperature coefficient of resistance. For example : 0.4%/°C for copper. A copper conductor that has a resistance of 10.00m ohm at 20°C will increase to 10.40m ohm at 30°C. This change should be taken into account when making measurements.
The fuse is automatically blow by the crowbar, should voltage be present on the resistance under test. This is to prevent damage to the instrument. It is indicative of this fuse being blown is the R Led stays "on". (HBC, 0.5A, 250Vac, Slow Blow) ●...

CAT IV - Is for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage installation. CAT III - Is for measurements performed in the building Installation. CAT II - Is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation. CAT I - Is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to mains.
