HT7051 - HT7051N 4.4 DESCRIPTION OF MEASURING LEADS CAPTION: 1. Hand protection 2. Safety areas Fig. 2: Measuring leads 4.5 GUARD LEAD In some cases, measurements could be affected by surface currents. By applying voltage to an insulation to be measured, there may be two distinct currents: one flowing in the test piece, the other flowing on its surface.
HT7051 - HT7051N 5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 SWITCH ON THE INSTRUMENT After switch on, the instrument gives a short acoustic signal and, for approximately one second, all segments of the display appear. Then, the instrument shows the firmware version, then it sets to the last measuring mode selected before turning off.
