7 Carrying out a measurement
7.1. Preparing for measurement
Prior to every test, please ensure that the instrument is in perfect condition:
• For example, keep an eye out for broken housing or leaking batteries.
• Always carry out a function test before using the instrument, see below.
• Check that the instrument is functioning perfectly (for example at a
known voltage source) before and after every test.
• If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the instrument must be
switched off and secured to prevent unintentional usage.
When connecting the test leads to the test object, always connect
the common test lead (COM) to the test object first of all. When
disconnecting the test leads, always disconnect the test lead from
the 10 A, V or mA jack (testo 760-2/-3) first of all.
