Page 7: Autotect Mode
AutoTect Mode The AutoTect feature automatically selects measurement function of V dc, V ac, or resistance based on the input via the test leads. ● With no input, the meter displays Auto when it is ready. ● With no voltage signal but a resistance below 6 MΩ is present, the meter displays the resistance value. - Page 8 strength is indicated as a series of bargraph segments on the display and variable beep tones. See the VolTect specifications later in this manual for a complete description of the bar graph indicators. • Voltect An antenna is located at the top left corner of the meter, which detects electric field surrounding current-carrying conductors.
- Page 9 Note For Maximum sensitivity, hold the meter away from the VolTect corner.
