Operating Method
1. Start-up, Shutdown
SwitchpowerkeytoDC orACgeartostart upthe tester, LCD will begintodisplay;andswitch
the powerkeytoOFF gear,theleakerwill shutdown.Afterstartingupfor5minutes,LCD will flick
notesthattheleakerwillshutdownautomatically;afterflickering for30s,itwillshutdownformally
toreducebatteryconsumption. Incaseyou havepressed HOLD keywhen LCD wasflickering, the
leakerwillcontinuetoworkfor5minutes.Ifthe testerpoweroffautomatically,the gearshouldfirstly
beswitched toOFF forpoweron next time.
2. Calibration
When measuring,first chooseACorDC gear, adjust ZERO keytoreducethe
residualmagnetismtozero, andthenconduct measurement. Rationalusage
ofthisadjust zerofunction will makethe resultsmoreaccurate.Forexample,
afterboot, beforemeasurement, wecan takethe jawclosetothe DC current
wire(showingasrightfigure), LCD will showan inductivecurrent (becauseof
externalelectricfieldinterference).Adjust ZERO keytocalibrate, whichdeduct
the inductivevalue.Aftermeasuringbigcurrent, calibration isverynecessary
tocleartheresidualmagnetism.

2)SwitchAC/DC keytochoosethekind ofmeasurement.
3)Adjust zero
4)Releasethetoroidlevertoopen clampmouthandclampmeasured conductors.
5)Read LCD displaydata.Incase OLA symbolwasdisplayed,it meansthatcurrentofmeasured
line isbeyondthemaximumlimitofthisleaker;withthiscase,pleasechooseleakerwithmuch
