Key Takeaways

Hz

• Voltage can be measured
without metallic contact.

• Current and voltage are
displayed at the same time
(T6-1000). The T6-600
display can be toggled to
display both measurements.

• Frequency can be measured
(T6-1000).

• The display backlight turns

green when the T6 has a

reliable FieldSense signal.

4

Insert the fork around
the ac conductor. Note
that the conductor
should bottom out in
the fork.
