Note 2 ：If it is necessary to read the display away from the conductor
in a peak hold measurement, press the data hold switch (2)
first and then remove the instrument from the conductor.
Otherwise, the peak hold reading may be higher than the
actual value due to the electrical noise caused by the
opening and closing of the transformer jaws. Press the data
hold switch again for a reset.
(4) Difference between 10ms and 100ms Peak Response Time
The peak hold circuit in this instrument charges the peak-hold
capacitor after rectifying the input waveform. The time for the voltage
of the capacitor to reach its peak value varies according to its
capacitance and the output impedance of the charging circuit. KEW
SNAP 2413F sets the time for the voltage of the capacitor to reach
90% of its peak value to 10ma or 100ms by switching between two
output impedances. Refer to Figure 7 for further details.

For instance, select the 10ms response time when measuring a surge
current that will occur when a power supply device is switched on. The
100ms response time is recommended for measuring the starting
current of a motor or similar equipment. A stable measurement can be
made on the 100ms second response time setting as the peak hold
circuit does not readily respond to the surge current.
