Disconnecting an inductive load while current is still flowing will cause a high voltage arc, which is a danger to both the user and the item under test. Although the DLRO10HD is not designed as transformer ohmmeter, it is fitted with a test in progress lamp associated with the TEST button, which indicates that current is flowing in the C1-C2 loop.

inspection Before each use of the instrument, visually inspect the instrument case, test leads and connectors to confirm that their condition is good, with no damaged or broken insulation. Charging and mains/line operation In normal circumstances the instrument is completely safe. However, in case of an unforeseen emergency ensure instrument is positioned to allow fast disconnection of mains/line plug.

A degassing safety vent is provided in the unlikely event of the battery degassing during charge. The DLRO10HD provides five test modes each of which is selected via a rotary switch. Controls are simple and easy to operate in all weather conditions and with gloved hands operation.
■ selected to prevent heating the wire thereby changing its resistance. The DLRO10HD is well suited to measuring thick conductors, bonds and quality of welding because of its 10 A range for resistance values up to 250 mΩ. Measurements on electric motors and generators will be inductive and require the user to understand the inductive mode and charging process before a correct result is achieved.
Test modes Test mode, is selected by a six (including off) positioned rotary selector selected current through the sample continuously in one direction only. The switch that activates the following modes: instrument will take repetitive readings, which will gradually decrease to the true value as the voltage stabilises.
‘C’ & ‘P’ indicators A good measurement requires both the current carrying circuit and the voltage detection circuit to be completed by the unit under test. DLRO10HD checks for continuity in both C and P circuits. When connectivity is detected, C 1---2 and P 1---2 indications are displayed in the left bottom sector of the LCD.
The meaning of these lamps is described below. Green Current , 1mA, test For example, using the DH4 Duplex Handspikes with the DLRO10HD in one Complete of the AUTO test modes: Measurement fail 1. Press the TEST button on the instrument.
Measurement terminals First connect the test leads to their respective measurement terminals. To simplify lead connection to the DLRO10HD the lid can be removed by lifting it to approximately 45º from closed position and sliding it to the right. Connect line power lead if line power is available. If the instrument is to...

Power Lead and Battery Charging Battery Charge indication If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your mains connection, do not use an adaptor. Always use a power lead fitted with the correct plug. Full battery The instrument is fitted with a two-pin IEC60320 power inlet. Most power leads are made with three-core cable, so the ground connection will not Battery low be used.
