The measured value of Continuity test does not match the specification? Make sure the tester is powered on for warm-up of at least 30 minutes, within +15°C~+35°C.
  • Page 265 When I press the START button the tester will not start testing? The tester must first be in the READY status before a test can be started. Ensure the tester displays READY before pressing the START button, page 92 (manual test), 120 (automatic test). If Double Action is enabled, the START button must be pressed within 0.5 seconds after the STOP button is pressed, otherwise the tester will not start testing.
