5.  BUTTON INSTRUCTION 

5-1  HOLD & LPF Function 

It is possible to freeze the displayed value by pressing on the "

HOLD

button. Press the "

HOLD

" button again to exit the Hold mode. 

To  activate  the  Low  Pass  Filter  (LPF)  feature,  press  and  hold  the 

LPF

” button until the symbol displays. To deactivate the LPF feature, 

press and hold the “LPF” button for 2 seconds. The meter will return 
to normal mode of operation. 

 

The Cut-Off frequency of the low pass filter is about 160 Hz with 
attenuation characteristic of approx. -24 dB/octave. 
 

Note:

 The LPF function operates on the AC A and AC mA ranges. 

 

 

5-2  PEAK Hold  &  

 /    Function Selection 

       Press "

PEAK

" button to enter the PEAK mode, the meter records the 

peak maximum value. Press the "

 PEAK

 " button again, to exit the 

peak mode. 

 

When  you  turn  the  rotary  switch  to  the  Ohms  /  Continuity  Test 
position, press the "

PEAK

" button to select Resistance measurement, 

press the "

PEAK

" button again to select continuity test with buzzer. 

 

5-3  ZERO Function 

Press "

ZERO

" button to enter the Zero mode, 

ZERO

 Annunciate will 

appear  and  Zero  the  display.  The  reading  is  stored  as  reference
