5.1 FieldSense™ Non-Contact Voltage жана Current

FieldSense™ technology allows for voltage and current measurements without direct contact with live conductors, enhancing safety.

1. Turn the rotary dial to the FieldSense™ position (indicated by the symbol).
2. Connect the black test lead to a reliable electrical ground point.
3. cl койamp jaw around the conductor you wish to measure.
4. Дисплейде том көрсөтүлөтtage жана учурдагы окуулар.

5.2 True-RMS AC/DC Measurements

The 378FC provides True-RMS measurements for accurate readings on both linear and non-linear loads.

• Тtage (V): Select the V∼ (AC) or V— (DC) setting. Connect test leads in parallel with the circuit.
• Учурдагы (A): Select the A∼ (AC) or A— (DC) setting. Open the clamp jaw and place it around a single conductor. For iFlex, ensure it is properly connected and wrapped around the conductor.
• Каршылык (Ω): Select the Ω setting. Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect test leads across the component.
• Үзгүлтүксүздүк: Select the continuity setting. Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect test leads across the circuit or component. An audible tone indicates continuity.
