START button to perform all measurements without changing the measurement mode. 4.1 Automatic measurements The SMARTLOC-1 tester has a built-in auto-test, with which we will make one-click measurements of loop resistance, insulation or determine length of the pipeline and the level of moisture. To perform an automatic measurement, connect the meter to the alarm wires accordingly, and during configuration select Auto. - Page 9 RATMON – SMARTLOC-1 – USER MANUAL After the measurement, the results are presented on the tester's screen as follows. If a leak occurs in the pipeline during measurements on the resistance system then a symbol indicating this will be displayed on the screen of the measuring instrument, in addition, the value expressed in percentage and information about where the leak occurred .
