RE856 OPERATION MANUAL OPERATION Preparation The following safety information must be observed to ensure maximum personal safety during the operation of this tester. To avoid electric shock when replacing the batteries, first disconnect the leads from the object to be measured.
RE856 OPERATION MANUAL Operation Read the battery internal resistane, DC voltage and temperature directly from the display. When using the clip type test lead, the temperature sensor is detected, and the temperature is automatically displayed. Press the key for 2 seconds to change the displayed temperature unit.
RE856 OPERATION MANUAL Pin-type Test Lead Zero-Adjustment When the resistance reading is lower than 200 digits and stable, the zero-adjustment is automatically carried out. The would then stop flashing, and the beeper sound would also stop. Remove the pin-type test leads from the zero-adjust board and start the measurement, connect the leads to the battery to test.
