AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION
When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging. This automatically
selects the best range for the measurements being made and is generally the best mode
for most measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually
selected, perform the following:
1. Press
the
RANGE
button. The “
Auto”
display indicator will turn off.
2. Press
the
RANGE
key to step through the available ranges. Observe the decimal
point and units displayed until the preferred range is located.
3.
To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to Autoranging, press and hold the
RANGE
key for 2 seconds.
Note:
Manual ranging does not apply for the Capacitance and Frequency functions.
RELATIVE MODE
The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored
zero reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements
made in comparison to that value. The displayed value is the difference between the
reference value and the measured value.
1.
Perform the measurement as described in the operating instructions.
2. Press
the
REL
button to store (zero) the reading in the display. The "
REL
" indicator
will appear on the display.
3.
The display will now indicate the difference between the stored value and the
measured value.
4. Press
the
REL
button to exit the relative mode.
Note:
The Relative function does not operate in the Frequency function.
HOLD
The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the
HOLD
key momentarily to
activate or to exit the
HOLD
function.
AUTO POWER OFF
