7. MEASUREMENT

1. Power On :

Press "ON/OFF" button to turn the power on or off.
Hold the "ON/OFF" button that can display the
voltage of battery.

The system will be auto off when it has no operation
after 3 minutes.

2.Before testing, you must make sure that the
resistance under test does not have any voltage.
When the voltage exceeds approx. 5 volts or the
probe is connected to a power supply of more
than approx. 5 volts,a warning message will be
displayed.

3.Select test current & scale range :
There are 4 buttons "10mA", "100mA", "1A" and
"10A" which can choose the operation current and
the scale range.

LED is lit on indicating that charge is underway.
If the ACV plug socket isn’t energized, remove
to another power-energized one making power
charge.

3. After the voltage reaches approx. 16.0V~16.5V,

charge process is complete.
(It can be observed on LCD display.)

No measurement can be performed during the
charging process.

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC
directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the
contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of
as household waste. They must be given to collection
points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we
take our devices back. We either re-use them or give
them to a recycling company which disposes of the
devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices
should be disposed of in accordance with your local
waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE
