6. Other functions
6-1. Sleep Function
(1) Thi s is a func t i o n to pre v e n t th e inst r u m e nt
from being left powered on in order to conserve
battery life. This function causes
the instrument
to enter Sleep mode about 15 minutes after the
last key operation. To exit the Sleep mode, turn
the Function switch to "OFF", then to any other
position.
(2) Sleep Function is disabled when;
M I N / M A X o r P E A K F u n c t i on i s s e le c t ed .
Continuous measurement is made with the Sleep
Fun c t i o n be i n g disa b l e d . To activ a t e Slee p
Fu nctio n again, dis able th e MIN /MAX or P EAK
Function.
# CAUTION
●
The instrument consumes small amount of battery
power in the Sleep mode. Set the Function Switch
to the OFF position after use.
6-2. HOLD Key
(1) Data Hold Function
This is a function to freeze the measured value on
the display. Press the "HOLD" key to freeze the
reading.
The reading will be held regardless of subsequent
variation in input. "H" is indicated on the upper left
corner of the display while the ins
trument is in the
Data Hold mode. To exit Data Hold mode, press
the "HOLD" key again.
# CAUTION
●
Held readings are released when Sleep Function
is activated while the instrument is in the Data Hold
mode.
(2) Backlight ON/OFF
Pressing the HOLD key 2 sec or more lights up the
Backlight. Pressing the HOLD key 2 sec or more
again turns off the Backlight.
6-3. NCV Function
Red LED on the upper area on the Panel lights up at
Al l fun ctio ns ex cept for OF F when elec tri c fiel d
exceeding 100V is detected by t
he sensor installed
in the Jaws.
It indicat es a p resence of vo ltage in an electrical
ci rc u i t or equi p m e n t wi t h o u t
touching them.
NCV Sensor can detect electrical
fi e l d on ly fr o m th e direc t i o n
indicated in the right figure.
Put the fixed element ( le ft side)
closer to the conductor under test.
Detection against in-wall outlet is
impossible.
# DANGER
●
Th e LED may no t l ight u p d ue to ins t all a tio n
condit
ion of electrical circuit or equipment. Never
touch the circu it under test to avoid po ssibl e
danger even if the LED for NCV doesn't light up.
●
