9. Operation
The multimeter indicates measured values on the digital LC display (4).
The measuring value LC display (4) of the VC185 digital multimeter spans 6000 counts (count = smallest display
value). The measuring device can be used for professional applications especially in the electronics industry (up to
CAT III 600 V). For better readability, the digital multimeter may also be positioned with the foldable stand (7) on the
rear side in an upright position on tables, or work benches.
a) Rotary switch (5)
The major measuring functions are selected via a rotary switch (5). When
the rotary switch (5) is set to a measuring function, it is turned “ON”. If the
multimeter switch is set to “OFF”, the meter is switched off. Always turn the
meter off when it is not in use. Select between the sub-functions using the
SELECT button (1).
