MEASURING 

 

A.  Direct voltage (A V scale) 

 
1.  Set knob Sk

2

 to position "

". 

 
2.  Set  knob  Sk

1

  to  position  "1200  V"  (highest  voltage  range,  to  prevent                    

 

overloading) and connect the measuring leads to the s and –. 

 
3.   Now connect the measuring leads to the voltage source to be measured                      
 

and    set  knob  Sk

1

  to  that  measuring  position  that  is  most  suitable  to                

 

provide an accurate reading of the voltage in question. 
If the direct voltage in question has a maximum value of .60 mV, knob 
Sk2 may be put in position "60 mV

". (Sk

1

  may have any  position; 

the meter protection is cut off!) 

 

B.  Direct current (A V scale) 

 
1.  Set knob Sk

2

 to position "

". 

2.  Set  knob  Sk

1

  to  position  "3  A"  (highest  current  range  to  prevent 

damage  to  the  meter  due  to  the  selection  of  too  low  a  range)  and 
connect the measuring leads to the s and -. 

3.  Subsequently  connect  the  measuring  leads  to  the  current  circuit  to  be 
 

measured and then set knob Sk

1

 in that measuring position that is most 

 

suitable to provide an accurate reading of the current in question. 

 

If the direct current has a value of maximum 30 µA, knob Sk

2

 may be                    

 

put  in  position  "60  mV

".  (The  position  of  Sk

1

is  unimportant;  the                       

 

meter protection is cut off!) 

 

C   Alternating voltage (A V scale) 

1.  Set knob Sk

2

 to position "~". 

 
2.  Set  knob  Sk

1

  to  position  "1200  V"  (highest  voltage  range  to  prevent 

overloading) and connect the measuring leads to the s and -. 

 
3.    Subsequently  connect  the  measuring  leads  to  the  voltage  source  to  be                                     

measured and then set knob Sk

1

 to that measuring position that is most              

suitable to provide an accurate reading of the voltage in question.
