OPERATION

Preparation For Use

When unpacked, the tester should be inspected for any visible signs of
damage, and the preliminary checks described in the user's manual should
be performed to ensure that it is operating correctly. If there is any sign of

test leads P1 to C1 and P2 to C2, the RP led should lit, indicating an over-
voltage or over-range.
This proving test can be repeated on all the ranges if need be.
You can also check the polarity indication of the milli-voltmeter by touching
the potential test leads P1 to C2 and P2 to C1, the RP LED should lit, indicating
an over-voltage or over-range. The - indicator should be indicating - on the
LCD, showing the polarity change.
Total check can be done by shorting all the test leads together C1, C2, P1, P2.
