18.3 Fuses
If a fuse has blown due to overloading, a corresponding message
error appears at the display panel. The instrument’s voltage mea-
suring ranges are nevertheless still functional.
Fuses– FUSE Message
These fuses are active during all measurements except for voltage
measurement.
Attention!
!
Disconnect the instrument from the measuring circuit be-
fore opening the battery compartment lid in order to re-
place the fuse (refer to page 3 for location)!
Checking the Fuses
If interruption of the test current circuit is detected either before or
during measurement, the "fuse" message appears at the LCD.
The message is cleared after pressing any key.
After the cause of error has been eliminated and the blown fuse
has been replaced, the measurement can be performed again
without an error message.
