OPERATION
1.
To check battery voltage, push the switch down to the “OFF” position and
hold. T
he batteries are OK if the needle moves beyond “11” (BATT OK”).
The 9-volt batteries are located in the compartment on the case bottom.
2.
To check the meter calibration, push the switch to the “ON” position and
hold. T
he meter is in calibration if it reads “13.5” on the dial. A tolerance
of + 0.5 is acceptable. An optional external resistance standard (part
no.MCS-44) is also available. Please contact Delmhorst or your local
dealer to purchase.
To turn the meter on, push the switch to the “ON” position and release.
The meter remains on for 4 minutes. The auto-timer is reactivated for 4
minutes with each subsequent test with a reading of 8% or higher. If
readings are below 8%, push the switch “ON” from time to time to prevent
the meter from turning “OFF” automatically. The meter may be turned off
manually by pushing the switch to the “OFF” position. When the meter is
“ON”, the needle rests below the 6% mark.
