permits to select one of the following limit values for the

contact voltage (which can be shown cyclically when pressing the key):
 50V (default)
 25V.


4. Press

the

START/STOP key. The instrument starts the test.


 At the end of the test the instrument

emits a

double sound signal

indicating that the test is correctly
terminated
and displays the values
alongside.

CAUTION

The display of

“Measuring” indicates that the instrument is effecting the

measurement. During this phase do not disconnect the test leads from the
instrument.
