    4) OPERATION Note: Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. AutoCheck mode (Models 197 & 195 only) This innovative AutoCheck feature automatically selects the measurement function of ACV , DCV, or Resistance () based on the input via test leads.
  • Page 6 to step through the ranges or functions. *As Hazardous-Alert: When making resistance measurements in AutoCheck mode, an unexpected display of voltage readings alerts you that the object under test is being energized. *Ghost-voltage Buster: Ghost-voltages are unwanted stray signals coupled from adjacent hard signals, which confuse common multimeter voltage measurements.
  • Page 7 , DCA & DC+ACA (Models 198PV & 197 only) functions Input is made through the clamp jaws for non-invasive current measurements. Defaults at ACA Function. Press SELECT button momentarily and release to select the subject functions in sequence.
  • Page 8 Note: (Application and removal of the Clamp-on meter) For non-invasive current measurements, press the jaw trigger and clamp the jaws around conductor(s) of only one single pole of a circuit for load current measurement. Make sure the jaws are completely closed, or else it will introduce measurement errors. Enclosing conductor(s) of more than one pole of a circuit may result in differential current (like identifying leakage current) measurement.
