5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1.1. DC voltage measurement
CAUTION
The maximum input DC voltage is 600V. Do not measure voltages
exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could
result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
Fig. 3: Use of the instrument for DC voltage measurement
1. Switch on the instrument by pressing the
ON/OFF
key. The measuring mode
Ω
is
automatically selected and the indication
“
OL.
”
appears on the display.
2. Insert the red cable into input terminal
V/
Ω
/
and the black cable into input terminal
COM
3. Position the red lead and the black lead respectively in the spots with positive and
negative potential of the circuit to be measured (see Fig. 3). The instrument
automatically switches to DC voltage measurement for
value > ca. 1.0V
. The display
shows the value of voltage.
4. The message
“
O.L.
”
indicates that the value of DC voltage exceeds the maximum
measurable value.
5. When symbol
“
-
”
appears on the instrument
’
s display, it means that voltage has the
opposite direction with respect to the connection in Fig. 3.
6. To use the AutoHOLD function, see § 4.3.2
