(9th press) The values shown on this table, in the Display/main and Display/small columns, are the factory default values. In case they are accidentally changed, it is possible to get them back (see § 2.5.11). Megohmmeter Models 1050/1060 - User Manual...
This value is stored in memory, even when the instrument is switched OFF. The lead compensation only comes into effect when performing continuity measurements. To activate/deactivate this function, simply select ON or OFF on the small display with the button. Megohmmeter Models 1050/1060 - User Manual...
The voltage is continuously measured and is shown on the small display. Measurement is prohibited if an external voltage is present at the terminals before pressing START/STOP. Similarly, if an interference voltage is detected during measurement, the measurement is stopped and that voltage is indicated. Megohmmeter Models 1050/1060 - User Manual...
(see § 2.5.2 and 2.5.3). If the ALARM function is activated, a buzzer is triggered as soon as the measurement crosses the threshold programmed in the SET-UP configuration menu (see § 2.5.4). Megohmmeter Models 1050/1060 - User Manual...
