e) Continuity check
Make sure that all the circuit parts, switches and components and other objects of measurement
are disconnected from the voltage and discharged.
- Turn the DMM on and select measuring range
-
Press the button “MODE” (6) to switch the measuring function. The symbol for
continuity check now appears in the display. Pressing this button again takes
you to the first measuring function etc.
-
Plug the red measuring lead into the Ω measuring socket (8) and the black
measuring lead into the COM measuring socket (7).
- A measuring value of less than 35 Ohm is detected and a beep sounds.
- As soon as „OL“ (overload) appears on the display, you have exceeded the
measuring range or the measuring circuit has been broken. Perform a counter-
pole measuring for control reasons.
- After measuring, remove the measuring leads from the measuring object and
turn the DMM off.
1
HOLD function
The HOLD function freezes the currently indicated measuring value to allow you to read it or to take the record without
rush.
If you test live wires make sure that this function is deactivated before the measurement starts.
Otherwise, a false measuring result is simulated!
To switch on the HOLD function press the “HOLD” button (9); an acoustic signal confirms this action and “HOLD”
appears on the display.
To turn the HOLD function off, press the button “HOLD” again or change the measuring function.
2
MAX function
This function keeps the maximum value on the display during continuous measuring. This function is only available in
the voltage measuring ranges “V/AC” and “V/DC”.
-
Press the button “MAX” (10) once in V measuring mode. The display shows “MAX” and indicates and saves
the highest value.
-
If you press the button “MAX” again, you return to normal measuring mode.

Auto power OFF function
The DMM turns off automatically after 15 minutes if no button or switch is operated. This function saves battery power
and extends the service life.
To reactivate the DMM after automatic shutdown, use the rotary switch or press any function key (MODE, MAX,
HOLD).
