Page 23: Operation
• Range switching and AC/DC selection are automatic. • Short-press the yellow button to manually select AC/DC If the signal measured is >45V peak, the audio indication is acti- vated if the V-Live function is selected (see § 2.6.2). For voltages ≥600V or Trms, a repetitive beep of the buzzer indicates that the measured voltage is higher than the acceptable safety voltage (OL). Audio Continuity Test - 1. Connect the measurement cables to the terminals. 2. Set the rotary switch to the “ ” position. 3. Connect the unit to the circuit to be tested. The buzzer is contin- uously active as soon as contact is established (circuit closed) and if the resistance value measured is lower than the threshold value chosen by the programming (adjustable from 1 to 40Ω,). NOTE: Above 400Ω, the display indicates OL. Clamp-on Multimeter Model F03... -

Temperature Measurement - (T°) 4.6.1 Without a Sensor 1. Set the rotary switch to the “T°” position. The temperature displayed is the instrument’s internal tempera- ture (the INT symbol is lit), which is the same as the ambient temperature after a sufficient thermal stabilization time. It can be expressed °C or °F: the unit is chosen with the yellow button. 4.6.2 With a Sensor 1. Connect the sensor (couple K) to the clamp terminals, observ- ing the polarity. 2. Place clamp where the temperature is to be measured. 3. Set the rotary switch to the “T°” position. The temperature dis- played is that of the sensor (EXT symbol is lit). It can be expressed in °C or °F: the unit is chosen with the yellow button. Clamp-on Multimeter Model F03... -
