Analogue Bar Graph

• 

The bar graph provides an analogue indication of the measured input. For most 

measurement functions, the bar graph updates 10 times per second.

• 

Using MAX MIN

• 

The MAX MIN mode stores minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) input values. 

When the input goes below the stored minimum value or above the stored 

maximum value, the meter beeps and stores the new value.

• 

Press MAX MIN to enter MAX MIN mode. The sampling time is every 2 seconds. 

The maximum reading and MAX are shown on the left secondary display. The 

minimum reading and MIN are shown on the right secondary display. The primary 

display shows the current measurement reading.

• 

Press MAX MIN the second time, the current measurement reading is shown on 

the left secondary display. The minimum reading and MIN are shown on the right 

secondary display. The primary display shows the maximum value.

• 

Press MAX MIN the third time, the current measurement reading is shown on the 

left secondary display. The maximum reading and MAX are shown on the right 

secondary display. The primary display shows the minimum value.

• 

Each subsequent press of MAX MIN steps through the above three modes.

• 

To exit MAX MIN mode, press EXIT.

Note: 

MAX MIN mode can only be used under MANUAL ranging mode.

OPERATION

Measuring Voltages

• 

To measure voltage, do the following:

1.  Insert the red test lead into the V terminal and the black test lead into the COM 

terminal.

2.  Set the range selector to V 

 or V

~ or

 

Hz % mV 

3.  Connect the test leads across the object being measured.
4.  The measured value shows on  the  display. 

AC measurement displays the True RMS value. 
DC measurement displays the effective value 
of sine wave (mean value response).

• 

When the ACV function is selected, you can 
press the Yellow Button to view the AC+DC 
True RMS value in the primary display.

• 

The BLUE button cycles among mV 

 

frequency and duty cycle.

• 

Special care should be taken when measuring 
high voltage.

• 

When voltage measurement has been 
completed, disconnect the test leads from the 
circuit under test and remove the test leads from the input terminals of the meter.

Warning: 

To avoid personal injury, or damage to the meter from electrical shock,  

do not attempt to measure voltages higher than 1000V, although readings may be 
obtained.
