Product Description
The multimeter (referred to as DMM in the following) indicates measured values on the digital display.
The measured value display of the DMM comprises 4000 counts (count = smallest display value). For
the VC265, current and voltage are measured as true effective value (TrueRMS), for the VC280 the
arithmetic average is displayed.
The display also shows the measuring sockets to be assigned for any measurement range in the display.
If the DMM is not operated for approx. 30 minutes, it switches off automatically. This saves battery power
and extends the period of operation. Automatic deactivation can be deactivate manually.
The meter can be used for do-it-yourself or for professional applications.
For better readability, the DMM can also be optimally mounted with the clip on the rear.
The mA/µA current rand of the VC280 has an all-new feature. With this measuring device, it is no longer
necessary to replace a fuse that has accidentally tripped. The installed PTC fuse resets automatically
after tripping.
The battery and fuse compartment can only be opened when all measuring lines were removed from the
meter. When the battery and fuse compartment is opened, the measuring lines cannot be inserted into
the measuring jacks. This improves user safety.
Rotary control (4)
The individual measuring functions are selected via a rotary control. The
automatic range selection “auto range” is active. The appropriate range of
measurement is set individually for each application.
The rotary control has a function button (9). Use the button “SELECT“ (9) to
switch to a sub-functions if the measuring function is doubly assigned (e.g.
switching from resistance measuring to diode test and continuity test or
AC/DC switching in the current range). Each press switches the function.
If the meter switch is set to “OFF”, the meter is switched off. Always turn the
device off when it is not in use.
