Resistance / Continuity test: If the resistance is < 50 Ω, you hear an audible
signal.
1. Switch the unit on with the main switch (5).
2. Attach the pin-plug of the black test lead to the COM-jack and the
pin-plug of the red test lead to the V-, Ω-jack.
3. Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.
4. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.
AC Current measurement
Alternating current measurements are only carried out via the flexible pliers.
DC measurements are not possible.
Always measure current on one conductor only. Covering more than one
conductor results in measuring differential current (like identifying leakage
current). To avoid measuring errors related to other hot conductors, please
observe maximum phase-to-phase clearance.
After a current measurement, it takes a few seconds for the display to return
to zero. This effect results from the true RMS function and is normal.
1. Switch the unit on with the main switch (5).
2. You open the flexible clamp by turning the bolt (2).
3. Clamp the wire placed in the opening and close the flexible clamp again.
4. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.
With simultaneous measurement of alternating current via the flexible pliers
and voltage (AC/DC) or resistance via the connection sockets, the secondary
display shows the current instead of the frequency and in the main display the
voltage or the resistance.
