Step 3 Touch the PE test probe (TEST key) for a few seconds. If the PE terminal is connected
to phase voltage, a warning note is displayed and the instrument buzzer activated.
Warning:
- If phase voltage is detected on the tested PE terminal, stop all measurements immediately and
take care that the fault is eliminated before proceeding with any activity.
Note:
- The PE terminal can only be tested when the function selector switch is set as follows: Z
