Autotests
4.3.1 Power supply
The power supply voltage is measured automatically once every
second. The voltage range ensuring correct operation is between
7 V and 10 V. Depending on the result of the autotest, there are
four possible cases:
The voltage is correct:
The
The remaining charge life is low (U < 7.1 V): the
symbol flashes.
Measurement accuracy is no longer guaranteed - change
the batteries (U ≤ 6,9 V): the
continuously.
The voltage is close to interrupting operation of the clock (U
< 6.7 V): the digital display indicates BAT and then, after 5
seconds, the shutdown buzzer sounds and the automatic
shutdown function is activated. The instrument shuts down.
4.3.2 Fuse (C.A 6531)
The fuse is automatically tested when switching on the
