- Insert the temperature measurement adapter supplied into the meter’s two mea-

suring sockets.  Ensure you insert them in the correct polarity. The adapter
marked with a „+“ must be connected to the red V connector (11). 

- Insert the lead temperature sensor into the measuring adapter. Ensure you insert

them in the correct polarity. The temperature sensor contact adapter marked with
a „+“ must be inserted in connector marked with a „+“ or the measurement
adapter.

The REL function allows a reference value measurement to avoid possible line loss-
es which may caused e.g. during resistance measurements or to adjust for residual
magnetism in the current sensor. For this purpose, the current indicated value is set
to zero. A new reference value is set.
Press the „REL“ button (8) to activate this measuring function. „REL“ appears on the
