4.4 LoZ (Low Impedance) Mode
The LoZ function is used to eliminate ghost voltages, which can cause misleading readings. When measuring voltage in circuits where ghost voltages are suspected, select the LoZ mode to provide a low impedance path that dissipates these stray voltages
- Set the rotary switch to the 'V LoZ' position.
- ٹیسٹ لیڈز کو سرکٹ سے جوڑیں۔
- جلد پڑھیںtage. This reading will be more accurate in the presence of ghost voltages
4.5 لو پاس فلٹر (LPF)
The LPF function is designed for accurate measurements on variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other electrically noisy equipment. It filters out high-frequency noise that can distort True RMS readings.
- Set the rotary switch to the 'A~' or 'V~' position.
- Press the 'LPF' button to activate the Low Pass Filter. The LPF icon will appear on the display.
- Proceed with your current or voltage پیمائش.
4.6 Inrush موجودہ پیمائش
The Inrush function captures the maximum current surge when a motor or other inductive load starts up. This is useful for diagnosing motor starting issues.
- روٹری سوئچ کو 'A~' پوزیشن پر سیٹ کریں۔
- Press the 'INRUSH' button. The meter will be ready to capture the inrush current.
