Z
LOW
 measurements (U1272A only): 
• Use the Z
LOW
 (low input impedance) function to detect 
ghost or induced voltages.
• Ghost voltages can be caused by capacitive coupling 
between energized wiring and adjacent unused wiring.
Qik-V test (U1271A only):
• Use the Qik-V function to quickly identify the measured sig-
nal type.
• Use this function as a reference to determine if the mea-
sured signal is an AC or DC signal, then select the appropri-
ate voltage measurement function by turning the rotary 
switch to an appropriate position (AC or DC).
Rotate the rotary switch’s position to 
 to enable low impedance mea-
surements.
Rotate the rotary switch’s position to 
 to enable the Qik-V function.
