8.15.2 Alternating Current and Frequency Measurement, Direct 
Connection, – AAC and Hz
➭ First disconnect supply power from the measuring circuit or 
the power consumer (1), and discharge any capacitors.
➭ Set the rotary switch to A  (A ).
➭ Repeatedly press the Func softkey until the desired measuring 
function is displayed.
➭ If necessary, conduct zero balancing for AAC by pressing the 
Zero softkey (see description below).
➭ Safely connect the measuring instrument (without contact re-
sistance) in series to the power consumer as shown.
➭ Switch supply power to the measuring circuit back on (3).
➭ Read the display. Make a note of the measured value if the in-
strument is not being operated in the memory mode or the 
transmission mode.
➭ Disconnect supply power from the measuring circuit or the 
power consumer (1) once again, and discharge any capaci-
tors.
➭ Remove the test probes from the measuring point and return 
the measuring circuit to its normal condition.
Improving Accuracy by means of Zero Balancing – Zero
The momentarily measured current value can be subtracted from 
future measurements in all measuring ranges.
➭ Press the Zero softkey.
➭ The value ascertained for Zero is saved and appears above the 
measurement display. Automatic compensation is imple-
mented for future measurements.
➭ The value for Zero is retained when the instrument is switched 
to a different measuring function. The correction or offset value 
is deleted by pressing Zero once again, or when the instrument 
is switched off. The value is cleared from the display.
