GENERAL DESCRIPTION

3.1

Correction of zero in DC measurement

This function is present only on model MX675 to return to zero
the display of the remanent magnetization of the clamp in DC
measurement. When the switch is positioned on A
no conductor inserted into the clamp, press the A
HOLD key (about 2 seconds) until display a of zero current
appears. This reset to zero is also indicated by an audio beep
and the display of the symbol ZERO.
This operation must usually be renewed after each high

Elimination of zero correction is possible only by changing the
function using the switch.
