The Hakko 498 / FG-470 System Tester ensures operator safety by informing you to the presence of static electricity and by checking grounding systems.
This unit can be verified using a decade resistance box and the 498 Verification method.
The 498-verification method is as follows.
1. Plug in the lead provided with the 498/ FG-470.
