7. Minimum  value  and  Maximum  value  ’’MIN/MAX"    storage 

facility.

With the MIN/MAX function, you can hold the minimum and the maximum 
measured  value  which  was  applied  to  the  input  of  the  multimeter  after 
activating  MIN/MAX  function.  The  most  important  application    is  the 
determination  of  the  minimum  and  the  maximum  value  for  long-term 
monitoring of measured quantities. MIN/MAX does not influence the analog 
indication  The  actual  measured  value  can  still  be  noted/read.  Apply  the 
measured  quantity  to  the  meter  and  select  the  measuring  range  prior  to 
activating the MIN/MAX function. With the function activated, you can select 
the  measuring  ranges  only  manually,    if  you  switch  to  another  range,  the 
stored MIN/MAX values are cleared.

1)  Reactivated by falling below the specified limits of the measured value.
2)  With the exception of the ranges 30 mV and 300 mV.

As long as the DATA   hold function is active, manual range selection is not 
possible. The DATA  hold function is switched OFF, when,

5.3.  Backlit 

The  instrument  is  provided  with  user  selectable  Back-lit  for    taking 
measurements in poor lighting conditions/ dark areas. 

Switching the Backlit ON 

By pressing “AUTO/MAN”   and “DATA/MIN/MAX” keys   simultaneously the 
Backlit can be switched ON.

Switching the Backlit OFF

By  pressing  “AUTO/MAN”  and  “DATA/MIN/MAX”  keys  simultaneously  the 
Backlit can be switched OFF.

6. “DATA” hold facility

The DATA  function allows to automatically hold the measured values. This is 
particularly useful, for instance, when connecting the probes to the measuring 
point  requires  full  attention.  When  the  measured  value  is  applied  and  the 
’’condition’’ according to the table shown below is met, the meter holds the 
measured value on the digital display and emits a sound signal. The probes 
can now be removed from the measuring point and the measured value on the 
digital display (9) can be read. When the measured value falls below the limit 
specified in the table, the meter is reactivated for a new storage.

The    analog    indication  is  not  influenced  by  the  DATA  hold,   
measured value can still be noted / read. Note that with a held digital display, 
the location of the decimal  point is also held. With autoranging selected, the 
measuring range of the analog indicator is no longer known.
