Measurement Of Ac Intensity; Measurement Of Voltage; Measurement Of Max Value - Chauvin Arnoux F11N Notice De Fonctionnement

5. MEASUREMENT OF AC INTENSITY

Set the switch to the A AC function: automatic selection
of the 2 ranges.
Press the trigger to open the jaws of the clamp and en-
close a single conductor.
Record the measurement, if necessary, by pressing one
of the HOLD keys.
Display the max. value, if necessary, by pressing the MAX
key.
The F11N clamp measures the average value and
displays the rms value (only for a sinusoidal current).
The measurement will be false if the current is distorted
(non sinusoidal).
La F13N, on the other hand, gives the rms value
whatever the current : distorted or sinusoidal.
At approximately 400 A and above, there may be slight
vibration of the jaws, but this does not affect the
measurement in any way.

6. MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGE

Set the switch to the required V AC or V DC function:
automatic selection of the 2 ranges.
Connect the red lead to the + terminal and the black lead
to the VOM terminal and then connect up to the element
to be measured.
Record the measurement, if necessary, by pressing one
of the HOLD keys.
Display the max value, if necessary, by pressing the MAX
button.
The F13N gives the rms value whatever the voltage :
distorted or sinusoidal.

7. MEASUREMENT OF MAX VALUE

Set the switch to the A~, V~ or V ... function.
Press the MAX key.
Proceed in the same way as for intensity or voltage
measurements.
The MAX positive value is displayed.
