6 Operang the instrument
Dierent measuring modes can be selected via the rotary switch.
When the instrument is in current mode , it automacally detects the range
and the type of measurement, AC or DC (testo 770-1/-2/-3 (0590 7703)).
When the instrument is in voltage mode , it automacally detects the range
and the type of measurement, AC or DC.
When the rotary switch is at the posion, the instrument measures
resistance, connuity, capacitance and diode test.
If the instrument is switched to power mode , it measures acve, reacve and
apparent power together with the power factor (for sinusoidal signals).
You can use the magnec suspension system, which is available as an
accessory, order number 0590 0001, to aach the testo 770 to metal
surfaces.
The suspension system’s magnet must not come anywhere near the
clamp meter during the measurement (see graphic). Automac
adjustment of the measuring range could be inuenced as a result.
Do not hang the testo 770 higher than 2 m.

Damage to other devices!
> Keep a safe distance away from products that could be damaged by the
eects of magnesm (e.g. monitors, computers or credit cards).
