5.13 CMOS Signal Output

The mulitmeter M-3860M is equipped with a kind of “Function
Generator“  which supplies ten preset frequencies with a voltage of max.
3.3 V. To “tap off“ the signal insert the enclosed signal adaptor into the
capacitor socket, observe the correct polarity. The other end of the
adaptor has two small alligator clips.

To change the multimeter into a signal generator and to select the out-
put frequency follow these steps:

1. Select “SIG OUT“ with the rotary function switch. 

2. Connect the enclosed signal adaptor (on one end with alligator clips)

with the capacity measuring socket of the multimeter.

To measure the real power of Cos Phi, to programme the price of KWh
and to measure KWh follow these steps:

1. Connect the measuring adapter to the meter as described before.

2. Set the rotary function switch to position “POWER“ and turn on the

unit.

3. Display in basic function mode: the mode digit on the left displays the

reference no. “0“. 

The left sub-display shows the ampere reading “A“ (current), on the
middle sub-display AC voltage and on  the right sub-display Cos Phi is
displayed (power factor). Cos phi is the power factor between
Ampere and Voltage, it is always “1“ if ohmic loads (consumers) are
concerned. For inductive consumers cos Phi is between 0.3 and 0.98.

The main display will show the true watts of your consumer.

4. In the second function mode, push “UP“ button once, the reference

no. “1“ appears in mode digit on the left. 
The left sub-display will show costs per 1 hour (setting is possible in
the next function mode reference no. 2). Read the KWh in the midd-
le sub-display and the accumulated costs in the right sub-display.

5. In the third function mode, push “UP“ once more, the reference no.

“2“ appears in the mode digit on the left. The first digit of the left
sub-display is flashing. Enter with the buttons “SET/R“, “UP“ or
“DOWN“ the price for KWh, e.g. 0.23 DM. 

This means the first digit remains “0“, therefore press SET/R. Then the
third digit is flashing, enter “2“ (= press 2 x UP) and confirm with
SET/R. Then the fourth digit is flashing, enter “3“ (= 3 x UP or 7 x
DOWN) and confirm with button SET/R. As the second digit is also „0“
press once again “SET/R“. The price per 1 KWh is now entered (middle
sub-display).

Attention!

After measurement has been finished, first pull the plug from mains
socket, before you disconnect the adapter from the measuring unit.
Attention! Life Danger!
