③ Set RESOLUTION (Refer to 4.1.1) and INPUT JACK. Or skip this step
if default is to be used.
④ Press FREQ button for frequency measurement or SHIFT + FREQ
buttons for period measurement.
⑤ Select the auto-range function by pressing AUTO button on the front
panel or use △ and ▽ buttons to select the desired range.
⑥ Connect test leads to your source signal and observe the reading
shown on the display. If the input signal is beyond the allowed range,
an overflow message “OVLD” will be displayed.
※ Note: The rear terminal panel also can be used via the same
procedures as the front panel. (Please refer to Figure 3-3)
3.5 Continuity Measurements
1201 uses 1 K Ω range for the continuity measurement. The meter beeps
when the test resistance is less than the threshold resistance. The
default threshold resistance is 10Ω, but user can set the threshold
resistance to anything between 1 Ω and 1 K Ω. The resistance value set
by user is stored in a volatile memory and will be cleared after the meter
has been turned off. The source current for the continuity measurement
is 1 mA.
Warning! The maximum input voltage allowed is 1000 V. Applying
excess voltage may damage the meter and cause unpredictable
hazards.
How to measure the continuity
Selects input signal connections on front or rear panel.
① Connect the test leads to the terminals as shown in Figure 3-2.
② Set REConnect the input signal as the following figure.
③ Set threshold resistance via pressing CONFIG + CONT buttons. (Or
skip this step if default resistance is to be used) When ready, press
ENTER button.
④ Press CONT button.
⑤ The measured value will be shown on the display automatically. Meter
“beeps” when measured resistance value is lower than threshold
