3. THE KEYS The keys of the keypad respond differently to short, long, and sustained presses. keys provide new functions and allow the detection and acquisition of parameters complementary to the MAX/MIN usual elementary measurements. Each of these keys can be used independently of the others or in perfect complementarity with them: this makes navigation simple and intuitive for looking up all measurement results. -
Page 11: Key (Second Function)
3.2. KEY (SECOND FUNCTION) This key is used to select the type of measurement (AC, DC) and the second functions marked in yellow next to the relevant positions of the switch. It can also be used, in the configuration mode, to modify the default value (see § 4.4). Remark: the key is invalid in the MAX/MIN and HOLD modes. -

4. USE 4.1. COMMISSIONING Insert the batteries supplied with the device as follows: 1. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw of the battery compartment cover (item 1) on the back of the housing and open it ; 2. Place the 4 batteries in the compartment (item 2), taking care to get the polarities right ; 3. - Page 14 4.4.2. DE-ACTIVATION OF AUTOMATIC SWITCHING OFF (AUTO POWER OFF) To de-activate automatic switching off: HOLD 1. In the OFF position, hold the key down while turning the switch to , until the "full screen" display ends and a beep is emitted, to enter the configuration mode. The symbol is displayed.

4.9.1. AC MEASUREMENT For an AC current measurement, proceed as follows: 1. Set the switch to 2. Encircle only the conductor concerned with the clamp. The measured value is displayed on the screen. 4.10. STARTING CURRENT OR OVER-CURRENT (TRUE INRUSH) MEASUREMENT To measure a starting current or over current, proceed as follows: 1. -
Page 18: Frequency Measurement (Hz)
4.11. FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT (Hz) The frequency measurement is available in V and A for AC quantities. The measurement is based on a count of the passages of the signal through zero (positive-going edges). 4.11.1. FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT IN VOLTAGE To measure the frequency in voltage, proceed as follows: 1. -
