5. MEASURING METHODS
BEFORE PROCEEDING MEASUREMENT, READ SAFETY
NOTES.
1. Ensure the system under test is not live.
2. In proceeding with measurement, if " " symbol
appears on the display, replace with new batteries.
3. Rotary the function switch to suitable range then press
the pushbutton to test and take the reading.
4. A drawing of the system should be made before testing
so the measurement can be attributed to network.
5. Measure system power-an 10W up
P=ZI2
P=V2/ Z
For example on a 100V system:
If P=50W, Z=V2/ P=1002/ 50=200*
a. The tester can measure load down to 2k*. (10W at
100V line).
b. The tester can't measure 100V system with power
lower than 10W.
6. Checking a speaker:
Speakers are general from 2*to 16*, use 20*range or
for higher impedance speaker, use 200*or 2000*range.
7. Checking a PA system:
For example on a PA system. using a 100V configuration.
a. If Z measured is lower, check for short-circuited wires
or faulty speakers or transformers.
b. If Z measured is higher, check for wiring or
components (Speakers, teansformers or connections).
6. MAINTENANCE
1. Battery Replacement:
When the symbol " " appears on the display, replace
with new batteries. As follows:
a. Disconnect the test leads from the instrument and turn
off the power.
b. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws on back
cover then slide the cover, take out the cover, take out
the batteries and replace with new batteries type SUM-3.
c. Place back cover and install the screws.

2. Cleaning and storage:
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and
detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents.
If the meter is not to be used for a period of longer than
60 days, remove the batteries and store them separately.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter,
do not get water inside the case.
