Read fault codes with presence of faults: Number of fault code Description of fault code Full description of the fault code selected Fault code level: transient, awaiting confirmation or confirmed. - Erase fault codes: Select this line and confirm to erase fault codes, confirmation is shown in the illustration.
DC VOLTMETER FUNCTION Select the DC Voltmeter mode on the main screen (rotate the centre button to reach it) and confirm (press the centre button) to be presented with two possibilities: 1 channel or 2 channels Use the red wire to measure a single voltage in relation to the battery Earth (1 channel) or the red and black wires to measure two distinct voltages in relation to the battery Earth (2 channels).
(depending on the ammeter clamp used and the intensity measured): 1 mV / A or 10 mV / A. The DC Ammeter mode requires the use of an ammeter clamp that is not supplied with the CL550 device (see options on page 5).
OSCILLOSCOPE FUNCTION Select the Oscilloscope mode on the main screen (rotate the centre button to reach it) and confirm (press the centre button) to be presented with two traces. The configuration details are indicated at the top and bottom of the oscilloscope: 1.
