3M 965AMS manual Battery Holder, Test Leads

Care & Maintenance 3M™ Dynatel™ Advanced Modular System 965AMS

Battery Holder

The plastic battery holder that comes with the unit uses six “AA” alkaline batteries (alkaline batteries are not included).

Use alkaline batteries only when the NiMH battery pack is discharged and the AC adapter is not available. Typical lifetime of the alkaline battery pack is twenty hours of normal use (less if you use the backlight frequently, use the optional /SA or /ADSL features heavily, or work in very cold weather). The alkaline battery pack is installed the same way as the NiMH battery pack.

Note: The battery holder has protection against accidental charging of alkaline batteries.

Test Leads

The 965AMS tester comes with a Red/Black test lead pair, a Blue/Yellow test lead pair, and a separate Green test lead. The Red/Black and Green test leads are used for most measurements. The Blue/Yellow lead pair is used with some TDR modes (not in the 965AMS-B tester), and the Yellow lead is used with RFL. The shorting “strap” that comes with the unit is used with RFL. Keep the test leads clean and dry at all times to insure best accuracy of the measurements. Use soap and water to clean them if necessary.
