Continuous measurement, which can normally be
selected with the CONTIN key, is disabled during low-
resistance measurement.
8.1 Measurement with Automatic Polarity Reversal
– AUTO Function
Automatic polarity reversal is selected as a default value. MAN
does not appear at the display.
Ð Start measurement in both current flow directions by briefly
pressing the START key.
After the measuring sequence has been started, the instrument
performs measurement with automatic polarity reversal, first with
current flow in one direction (), and then in the other ().
DATA blinks at the display until the measured value has settled in.
The larger (worst) measured value is displayed. appears at
the display.
Difference > 10%
If, during measurement with automatic polarity reversal, the differ-
ence between and is greater than 10%, the resistance
values for both polarities (current flow directions) are displayed
separately (separated by an underscore). Rlo>10% appears at
the display.
Limit Value Indication
If the measured value is less than or equal to 2 , the Limit LED
lights up green. If the measured value is greater than 2 , the LED
lights up red. As a prerequisite, the LiLED parameter must be set
to “on” (see page 13).
Resistances which do not demonstrate a stable value until after a
“settling in period” should not be measured with automatic polar-
ity reversal. Measurement with automatic polarity reversal may
lead to varying and/or inflated measurement values, and thus to
an ambiguous reading.
