•
mA-Measuring Socket
For DC/AC mA current measurements below 400mA, insert the Red test-lead
to this terminal.
•
COM (Common or Negative Input Terminal
For all measurements, except capacitance, temperature and transistor
measurements, the Black test lead is connected here
•
V/Ohm-Socket
For measurements of voltage, frequency, resistance, continuity, diode and
logic, insert the Red test lead into this terminal.
5.4 Advanced Function Information
•
Analog Bargraph:
The Bargraph consists of 43 segments and responds faster
than the LCD. If the meter’s measuring range is exceeded, “OL” is displayed on the
LCD and the Bargraph segments will flash. An audible warning tone will sound for
all functions except resistance, diode, and temperature in an overload condition.
•
Data-Hold “D-H”:
In this mode, you can freeze a reading in the center sub-LCD
display. Press the FUNCTION key then the SET/RESET keys to activate Data
Hold. The center sub-display will indicate the held reading. Press SET/RESET
again to freeze a new reading. Press the FUNCTION key to exit the Data Hold
mode.
•
Range Hold “R-H”:
Press the FUNCTION key twice then the SET/RESET key
once to access this mode.
This function allows the user to switch off automatic
range selection (Auto Range) and set the measuring range manually. Each time
the UP or DOWN button is pressed, the decimal point is moved one position to the
left or to the right, the units of measure are changed respectively (e.g. from KHz to
MHz during frequency measurement). To return from this function mode, press the
SET/RESET key.
•
Auto Hold A-H:
In this function, the meter will automatically record the
MIN/MAX/AVG readings taken since this mode was accessed. These values are
continuously updated. To access A-H, press the FUNCTION key three times. Then
press the SET/RESET key once. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the
decimal location for the MIN/MAX/AVG readings. If you fixed the range using
Range Hold R-H (explained above), press the SET/RESET key once again. The
MIN-value is shown on the left sub-display, the MAX-value on the right sub-display,
and the AVG on the center sub-display. Press SET/RESET key to return to normal
meter operation.
•
REL(Relative):
The relative mode enables the operator to compare a pre-set
reference value (displayed in the right-most sub-LCD) to subsequent readings.
Press the FUNCTION key four times and then press the SET/RESET Key once.
Set the polarity of the reference value via the UP/DOWN keys. Press the
SET/RESET key when polarity is set. Use the UP/DOWN keys to set the desired
reference value and its decimal point (use the SET/RESET key to move through
the digits. When a digit is flashing it is ready to be changed via the UP/DOWN
keys. Press the SET/RESET key repeatedly until the digits cease flashing when
editing is complete. Press the SET/RESET key once more and the meter’s center
sub-LCD will now display the difference (offset) between the stored reference value
and the actual readings, while the present (actual) measurement displays on the
Main LCD. The left sub-display will show the difference in % and the right sub-
display will continue to show the preset reference value.
