Basic operations
This section will explain how to operate the V RANGE, I RANGE, HOLD, KEY LOCK, and
LOCAL keys.
Setting the range
Follow the procedure below to set the current or voltage range. In the factory default settings,
these are both set to AUTO (auto range).
1
To set the current range, press I RANGE. To set the voltage range, press
V RANGE.
The measurement range that is currently in use is shown on display D.
When you are setting the current range, “i.rAnGE” is shown on display B. When you
are setting the voltage range, “V.rAnGE” is shown on display B.
You can press DSPL B to switch between the current range (i.rAnGE) and the voltage
range (V.rAnGE).
2
Press ▲ or ▼ to select the measurement range.
If the KPM1000 had been using the auto range, the AUTO LED turns off, and the auto
range is cleared.
Press
▲
to select a range that is higher than the one that is currently being used.
Press
▼
to select a range that is lower than the one that is currently being used.
You can also use the DSPL D key to change between ranges. Repeatedly press DSPL
D to select a range that is higher than the one that is currently being used. Repeatedly
press SHIFT+DSPL D to select a range that is lower than the one that is currently
being used.
When you select a low measurement range, the OVER I LED (or the OVER V LED if
you are selecting the voltage range) may light. This indicates that the input current
has exceeded the measurement range. To enable correct measurements, select the
measurement range so that the OVER I LED (or the OVER V LED) turns off.
3
If you were setting the current range, press I RANGE. If you were setting
the voltage range, press V RANGE.
The KPM1000 returns to measurement mode.
