Checking before use
Before using the instrument the first time, verify that it operates normally to
ensure that no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any
damage, contact your authorized Chuangkai distributor or reseller.
Before using the instrument, check that the coating of
the test leads or cables are neither ripped nor torn and that
no metal parts are exposed. Using the instrument under
such conditions could result in electrocution. Contact your
authorized Chuangkai distributor or reseller in this case
Handling Precautions
Do not modify, disassemble, or repair the instrument.
This may result in fire, electric shock accident, or injury.
Do not place the instrument on an unstable or slanted
surface. It may drop or fall, causing injury or instrument
failure.
To avoid corrosion and/or damage to the instrument due
to battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument
if it is to be kept in storage for an extended period.
Be sure to turn the power off after using it.

Changzhou Chuangkai Electronic Co.,Ltd Edition V1.0 8
Measurement precautions
To avoid electric shock accident and short circuit,
please operate the instrument as following:
Do not allow the instrumentto get wet, and donot use it
with wet hands. This may cause electric shock accident.
Do not modify, disassemble, or repair the instrument.
This may result in fire, electric shock accident, or injury.
Do not place the instrument on an unstable or slanted
surface. It may drop or fall, causing injury or instrument
failure.
To avoid any damage to the instrument, avoid any
vibration or shock during transport or handling. Especially,
be careful not to drop or fall the instrument which will cause
shock.
To avoid any damage to the instrument, do not input
voltage or current to any measurement, TC terminals, or
EXPORT terminals.
Handling leads and cables
To avoid electrical shock accident, do not short test
leads where
voltage is applied.
Do not use any test lead or temperature sensor
other than the ones specified by our company. It may
result in inaccurate measurement due to poor contact or
other reasons.
To avoid damaging the cables, do not bend or pull
the base of cables and the leads.
The ends of pin type leads are sharp. Be careful to
avoid injury.
Be careful not to allow contact between the lead wire
and the heat generating portion.

Chapter 1 Overview
1.1Overview and Features
The CKT3548 employs the four-terminal method to highly accurately
measure the DC resistance of measurement targets including motor and
transformer windings, and welding, PC board patterns, fuses, resistors, and
materials such as conductive rubber. The instrument allows temperature
correction and so is especially suitable for measurement targets whose
resistance values change with temperature.

1.4 Checking the Measurement Target
To carry out proper resistance measurement, change the measurement
conditions appropriately according to the measurement target. Before starting
measurement, use the examples recommended in the following table to
configure the instrument.
⚫When the measurement target significantly depends on temperature,
use the temperature correction function.
⚫The interval measurement function allows you to save a measured
value every fixed interval.
