➔
If ʻOLʼ appears on the display, the value of the capacitor is over the
maximum range of the meter.
8. DUTY CYCLE MEASUREMENT
WARNING:
NEVER MEASURE FREQUENCY ON A CIRCUIT WITH MORE
THAN 250V.
➔
Set the function switch to
VOLT/Hz/%
.
➔
Press the Hz/% pushbutton twice and ʻ%ʼ appears on the display.
➔
Apply the test leads to the point of measurement.
➔
The duty cycle will be shown on the display with proper decimal
point and value.
9. RELATIVE FUNCTION
NOTE: This function can only be used when making voltage and capacitance
measurements.
Relative is indicated by on the LCD display. This function sets the
displayed reading to zero and stores it as a reference value which is
subtracted from subsequent measurements. Press the button again to
release this function and will disappear from the display.
Example: When 5V DC is being measured and this button is pressed
once, the value is stored. After disconnecting the test probes from the
voltage source and then re-applying to another voltage source of 4.5V
DC, the LCD will display -0.5V DC. This means that the subsequent
reading (4.5V DC) is 0.5V DC lower than the reference (5V DC).
