    TM-507 4.4.1. "ZERO" mode 1. Any addition or replacement of cables, extensions and croco clips nullify the previous calibration and make necessary a new calibration before performing further measurements. Therefore the instrument must be calibrated in the same conditions at which it will operate during measurements 2.
  • Page 12: Anomalous Cases Which May Occur During Ω Measurement

    TM-507 4.4.2. Anomalous cases which may occur during Ω measurement 1. The full scale of the instrument is 199.9Ω. If the resistance value is higher than this value, or in case of open or interrupted probes, the instrument displays the screen beside.
