AC Voltage Measurements
WARNING
: To avoid electric shock or damage to the meter, do not make any voltage
measurements that exceed the maximum specified.
1. Set the Function switch to the AC Voltage position.
2. Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V,
,Hz” terminal; Black lead to the
COM input.
3. Measure voltage with the pointed end of the test leads. Remember that voltage measurements
are made in parallel with the device/circuit under test.
4. Read the ACV value on the LCD.
DC Voltage Measurements
WARNING
: To avoid electric shock or damage to the meter, do not make any voltage
measurements that exceed the maximum specified.
1. Set the Function switch to the DC Voltage position.
2. Insert the test leads to the meter as follows: Red lead to “V,
,Hz,” terminal; Black lead to the
COM input.
3. With the pointed end of the test leads measure voltage. Remember that voltage measurements
are made in parallel with the device or circuit under test.
4. Read the DCV value on the LCD.
Frequency Measurements
1. Set the Function switch to the Hz position.
2. Insert the test leads into the meter’s input terminals.
3. Connect the other ends of the test leads in parallel with the device/circuit under test.
4. Read the Frequency measurement on the LCD in Hz.
MIN, MAX Function
Pressing the MIN/MAX key allows the meter to display ONLY the highest and the lowest readings
encountered. Press the MIN/MAX key once to view the minimum reading, press it again to view the
maximum reading. Note that the meter will only change its displayed reading when a measurement
is taken higher than the previous MAX or lower than the previous MIN readings. The HOLD display
icon (along with the MIN or MAX icon) will appear on the LCD in MIN/MAX mode. Pressing the
MIN/MAX key a 3
rd
time returns the meter to normal operation.
Data Hold
To freeze the current reading on the LCD, press the Data Hold key. To release the Data Hold
function and return the meter to normal operation, press the Data Hold key again.
Relative Mode
1. Press the Zero key and the present measurement will Zero.
2. All subsequent measurements are displayed with respect to the zeroed reading. For example, if
a 20A reading is zeroed and a 30A reading is subsequently measured, the LCD will display 10A.
3. To return to normal operation, press and hold the zero key for 2 seconds.
4. Note that Relative mode is not available if MIN/MAX mode is enabled.
