(10) Auto Power Off (APO) The APO sign on the LCD panel indicates the meter is working in the Auto Power Off mode. If the meter idles for more than 30 minutes, the meter automatically turns the power off. When this happens, the state (non- logic measurement) of the meter is saved, the meter can be turned back on by pressing any switch or changing the rotary switch.
OPERATION This instrument has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 1010, Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus and has been supplied in a safe condition. This instruction manual contains some Information and warnings which have to be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to retain the instru- ment in safe condition.
