AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION 

When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into 
AutoRanging. This automatically selects the best range for the 
measurements being made and is generally the best mode for most 
measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range 
be manually selected, perform the following: 

1. Press the 

RANGE

 key. The “

AUTO”

 display indicator will turn off. 

2.  Press the 

RANGE

 key to step through the available ranges until 

you select the range you want. 

3.  To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to Autoranging, 

press 

EXIT

 

Note:

 Manual ranging does not apply for the Temperature functions. 

 

MAX/MIN 

1. Press the 

MAX/MIN

 key to activate the MAX/MIN recording mode. 

The display icon "

MAX

" will appear. The meter left auxiliary 

display will display and hold the maximum reading and will update 
only when a new “max” occurs. The display icon "

MIN

" will appear. 

The right auxiliary display meter will display and hold the 
minimum reading and will update only when a new “min” occurs. 

2.To exit MAX/MIN mode press 

EXIT 

RELATIVE MODE 

The relative measurement feature allows you to make 
measurements relative to a stored reference value. A reference 
voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements made in 
comparison to that value. The displayed value is the difference 
between the reference value and the measured value. 

Note:

 

Relative mode does not operate in the 4-20mA function. 

1.  Perform the measurement as described in the operating 

instructions. 

2.  Press the

 REL

 button to store the reading in the display and the   

"

REL

" indicator will appear on the display.
