Operation
5.1
DC voltage
•
Connect the black plug to the COM input jack and the red plug to the V
ΩmA input jack.
•
Select
”V“ = DC voltage measurement with the rotary function switch and set a resolution
with the RANGE key if required.
•
Touch the sample with the measuring tips. The display will show the polarity and voltage.
Notes:
•
When
“OL“ is displayed in Manal Range mode, the measurement range must be
increased.
•
Do not measure any voltages above 600 V as these can damage the meter!
•
Be careful when measuring high voltages. Do not touch the circuit.
5.2
AC voltage
•
Connect the black plug to the COM input jack and the red plug to the V
ΩmA input jack.
•
Select
”V“ = AC voltage measurement with the rotary function switch and set a resolution
with the RANGE key if required.
•
Touch the sample with the measuring tips. The display will show the polarity and voltage.
Notes:
•
When
“OL“ is displayed in Manal Range mode, the measurement range must be
increased.
•
Do not measure any voltages above 600 V as these can damage the meter!
•
Be careful when measuring high voltages. Do not touch the circuit.
5.3
DC current
•
Connect the black plug to the COM input jack and the red plug to the V
ΩmA input jack
(max. 600 A) or to the 10 A input jack.
•
Select
”µA“, ”mA“ or “A“ for DC current measurement with the rotary function switch and
set a resolution with the RANGE key if required.
•
Touch the sample with the measuring tips. The display will show the current.
Notes:
•
If you are not sure what measurement range to choose, select the highest option and
proceed in line with the reading.
•
When “OL“ is displayed in Manal Range mode, the measurement range must be
increased.
•
The maximum measurable current is 600 mA or 10 A
– depending on the input ack
the red test lead has been connected to! Higher currents destroy the fuse and can
damage the meter.
