conditions, see section 6.1 on Page-85.
To make sure the display shows the correct
data, disconnect the test leads before you set
the power to on or change to another measure
or source function.
Cautions
To prevent damage to the display, do not use
sharp objects on the screen.
Before you start an operation or procedure in this

2. UC-12 Hardware Parts & Accessories
2.1 Unpacking & Inspection
At the factory each new UC-12 passes a careful inspection. It should be
free of scrapes and scratches and in proper operation order upon receipt.
The receiver should, however, inspect the unit for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. If there are signs of obvious mechanical
damage, package contents are incomplete, or the instrument does not
operate according to specifications, contact the purchasing sales office as
soon as possible. The standard accessories are as follows:
If you have to return the instrument to the factory for any reason, use the
original packing whenever possible. Include a detailed description of the
reason for the return.

EM (Electric Measurements and 24V Supply) Measure Terminals
Input Terminals for measuring voltage, current, supplying loop power,
and Frequency and pulse types refer specification sheet on page no.
95 Section 6.6 and page no. 97 Section 6.13, 6.14.
Current Measurement
UC-12 supports current measurement using either UC-12 as the
loop power supply while at the same time measuring the current or
simply measuring the current while an external power supply is
used.
The following picture displays the connection for Current
Measurement for different mode. And also different ways of
providing the supply power to the loop.
mA Current Measurement
In this mode UC-12 not providing any supply voltage. For
proper measurement the external device should capable of
providing the voltage supply. If the external device should not
capable, an external Power Supply should be connected in
series.
