15.  Stop watch

This function allows you to measure elapsed times up to one hour. 

ê

Run the function selector switch (6) to “V - - - ”

ê

Use the pushbutton “AUTO/MAN” (4) to select a measuring range  between 3 V 

and 1000 V.

ê

The function stop watch cannot be activated in the range 300 mV - - -.

14.  Event counter

Event counter is only possible with a voltage measurement in(DC+AC)   mode. 
With this function it is possible to measure and indicate the number   of elapsed 
time of the events and the total of the function activation. Voltage   signals are 
indicated with an amplitude of >2 500 digits, with a maximum,   repetition rate of 
0.25  Hz  (minimum,  duration  of  4  seconds)  and  a  minimum,  event  time  of  2 
seconds.

w

by pressing the yellow multi- function pushbutton (5) longer, this 

is Confirmed 

w

by the buzzer sounding twice, by switching the meter off.

Note:

The  correction  value  for  the  lead  resistance  remains  stored  when  exiting  the   
function and when switching off the multimeter.
To determine the lead resistance, only use the multimeter you use to  measure the 
temperatures. Only this way, it is assured that the measuring   error is within the 
specified range.

ê

Set the function switch (6) to V  - - -.

ê

Switch the signal on as for voltage measurement.

For other functions see the following table.
With this function the meter is not switched off automatically.
It is possible to return directly from event counter to voltage measurement

w

by pressing the yellow multi- function pushbutton (5) longer. This is  confirmed 
by the buzzer sounding twice. The voltage measuring range which was set the 
last time, keeps switched on.

w

by actuating the function switch (6).

ê

Set the function selector switch (6) to V 

ê

Connections are made the same way as for voltage measurement.   See foot 

note 6) on page 22.

ê

Briefly press the yellow multi-function pushbutton (5).

The meter switches to frequency measurement.  The frequency is  displayed 
on the LCD.

See Section “17. Specifications” for the lowest measurable  frequencies and 
the maximum permissible voltages.

ê

From  frequency  measurement,  you  can  directly  switch  back  to  voltage 

measurement

w

by pressing the yellow multi-function pushbutton (5) for a long time.  The meter 

acknowledges this with the buzzer sounding twice. The   voltage measuring 
range last selected is maintained.

w

by operating the function selector switch (6).

13.   Temperature measurement

With Pt 100 and Pt 1000 temperature sensors you can measure temperatures  on 

0

0

the range from-200 (-100) C ...+850  C

0

ê

Set the function switch (6) to “ C ”.

ê

Connect the sensor to the two sockets for which access is allowed.

The  meter  automatically  detects  the  connected  sensor(  Pt  100  or  Pt  1000)

0

and shows the measured temperature in C on the digital display.

Notes:

This measurement automatically considers the lead resistance of the  Company 
temperature sensors which are available as accessory. 

Temperature measurement 

considering sensor lead resistances up to 50

W

Lead resistance of sensors having a value differing from that of Company sensors 
can be considered up to a value of 50

W

 as follows:

ê

Briefly press the yellow multi-function pushbutton (5).

The  temperature  measurement  range  is  now  selected  which  considers  a 
changed lead resistance of the sensor. This is indicated on the LCD  by  the 
“ZERO” symbol.

ê

Briefly  press the yellow multi- function pushbutton (5) again.

The LCD now displays the resistance value which the meter   automatically 
considers. So that you can recognize that is the resistance correction value 

0

on the temperature measuring range, the “ C” character is simultaneously 
shown.

ê

You can set the line resistance correction value as follows:

Press the DATA-MIN/MAX pushbutton (3) to increment the value, or   the 
AUTO/MAN  pushbutton  (4)  to  decrement  the  value.  Each  time  the   
pushbutton  is  briefly  pressed,  the  value  changes  by  one  digit.  You  pass 
through fast, when you press the pushbutton longer.

ê

Briefly press the yellow multi- function pushbutton (5) again.

The LCD displays the measured temperature in consideration of the changed 
lead resistance. The symbol “ZERO” (18) in the LCD shows  you this.

ê

Each  following  time  the  yellow  multi-  function  pushbutton  (5)  is  briefly 

pressed, the display changes between measured temperature with changed 
lead resistance and correction value of the lead resistance. You can exit the 
function “temperature measurement with changed  lead resistance”
