5. Using the Digital Multimeter
Model 381395 Version 1.0 January 2008
5-6
5. Connect test leads to your source signal. The measured value will be shown on the
display automatically. The Meter
“
beeps” when measured resistance value is lower than
threshold value.
5.2.5. Frequency
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement if a test lead is plugged in
the CHB or EXT.TRIG input jack, instrument damage and/or personal injury
may result.
WARNING!
1. Never attempt a frequency measurement with a voltage source greater
than 600V AC rms. Determine the voltage of any unknown frequency
source before connecting the instrument in frequency mode.
2. Always keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probe when making
measurements.

FRQ
appears at the top-left corner of the display
area.
5. Connect test leads to the source signal and observe the reading shown on the display. If
the input signal is beyond the allowable range, an overload message “OL” will be display.
