Using the Meter
Preparation
Fully plug the test leads into the input jacks. Red lead to
“
VΩA+”
input and black lead to “
COM-“
input.
Calibration of the scale is needed before making
measurement. Use a small size flat tip screwdriver to
adjust the black knob located in the center of the Meter,
next to the Dawson logo. The needle on the scale should
align with “0” on the left side of the scale.
The “
” symbol next to the input lead
shows that the input voltage or current should
not exceed the specified value in order to
protect the internal circuit from damage.
Turn the rotary switch to the required
function and range to be measured.
Choose the highest range when the value to
be measured is unknown.
When making connection, connect the
common test lead first and then the powered
test lead.
Remove the charged test lead first when
disconnecting.
