lower measurement range.

Before using the device, check the
housing and the measurement
cables for any damage.

Do not conduct measurements in
a damp environment. Workplace,
hands, shoes and floor must be
dry.

Before opening the housing all
measurement leads are discon-
nected from the device.

2. Description, technical data

Active analog multimeter with a
slide switch for selection of the op-
erating mode and a rotary switch to
select the measurement range as
well as a scale with the mirrored
background for parallax-free read-
ings with a zero-point adjustable to
the center or the left of the scale.
By adjusting the electrical zero-point
to the center of the scale bipolar DC
voltage and current measurements
can be conducted without worrying
about polarity. The device is ex-
tremely robust in terms of load ca-
pacity and is equipped with excel-
lent overload protection due to its
two anti-parallel diodes as well as
moving coil movement which is not
sensitive to external electromagnet-
ic fields. The safety connection sock-
ets offer protection against acciden-
tal touch contact. After approx. 45
mins the battery is automatically
switched off. The power can be re-
established by turning off and on
using the slide switch for the oper-
ating mode. The robust plastic hous-
ing and the spring-connected bear-
ing jewels of the movement guar-
antee protection against damage

caused by mechanical stress.
