Using Dilog DL6507 earth leakage clamp meter.

[Newbyspark]

Evening all,
I've just brought a Dilog DL6507 Earth leakage clamp meter. Got to get used to using it, but does anyone know what the on/off switch on the side does, as it does not do as you would think.
Cheers.

oooh its tempting........is it ....oh I dont know.:dizzy2:
Hey just a thought, perhaps it will tell you in the instructions?

Thats annoying.. I was going to find my instruction leaflet and tell you but I cant find it!! I do remember that it is NOT an on/off switch and I also remember thinking after I'd read the instructions.. 'I'm not going to use that'.

All in all I think I've been quite helpful..

To be fair, I felt bad and had a search for the destructions on line, funny it was one of a few dilog clamp meters that didnt have a download. So sorry, I cant help, cos Im now bored.

Is it indicated by " wide 50/60 Hz" ?

Cheers for that. (why they chose to call it on off I don't know)

I thought you said it didn't tell you in the instructions?

Well here's a copy that does tell you what it is.

At 50/60Hz position, only the low frequency signal is measured. At wide position, signal from 40-1KHz is measured. (Taken from the instruction booklet)

Is it indicated by " wide 50/60 Hz" ?
