A blown fuse should be replaced with an identical one. 

 

F : F 0.2A/250V 

• 

Do not use this device in case of malfunction or if anomalies are detected. Have it repaired 
by qualified personnel. 

• 

Do not use the multimeter unless the back cover is in place and fully fastened. 

• 

Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent for cleaning purposes. Never use abrasives or solvents 
on the meter.

 1) LCD display 
 
  2) Power ON/OFF button 
 
  3) Capacity input sockets 
 
  4) "20A MAX" jack 
 
 5) "mA" jack 
 
  6) "COM" jack 
 
 7) "V

Hz" jack 

 
  8) Temperature probe jack 
 
  9) RANGE and FUNCTION switch 
 
10) Transistor test socket 
 
 
 

2.1. Range and Function Selector 

 
This rotary switch is used to install the various functions and each of the 32 ranges. 
 

2.2. Power Switch 

 
This push-button activates and deactivates the device. The DVM890 is also equipped with an 
energy-saving feature : the meter is automatically deactivated when the RANGE and 
FUNCTION selector has not been used for 15 minutes. The user will have to press the ON/OFF 
button twice to switch the device on again when the energy-saving feature has deactivated the 
DVM890. 
 

2.3. Input  Jacks 

 
The DVM890 is equipped with 4 input jacks that are protected against overload. The limit 
values are listed in the table below. The black test lead should be connected to the "COM" jack. 
The red test lead should be connected to one of the other three input jacks, depending on the 
required function.
