SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL BATTERY
Turn the meter over to gain access to the battery
compartment.
To open the compartment
:
1) Use a small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the
single screw at the top of the one-piece battery
compartment cover/flip-up stand.
2) Put the cover/stand aside.
3) Obtain a “9V” battery and plug it into the wired socket
inside the compartment. The terminals of the battery
and the socket mate in only one way, with the smaller
male terminal plugging into the larger female terminal.
4) Secure the battery compartment by replacing the
cover/stand and reinstalling and tightening the
Phillips-head screw.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
All parameters except bipolar transistor forward current
gain (hFE) and temperature (DMM53FSG only) are
measured through the included test leads. Measurements
of hFE and temperature are made using included
accessories. The specific operating instructions for each
parameter explain which jacks to plug the test leads or
an accessory into.
HOLDING READINGS
Pressing the
HOLD
button “freezes” any measurement on
the LCD and causes the word
HOLD
to appear at its left.
Pressing the button again releases the hold, removes the
word
HOLD
and resumes real-time measurements.
MEASURING AC OR DC CURRENT
••
Warning
••
Do not attempt to measure: 1) currents larger than
200mA through the
jack DMM52FSG) or
jack
(DMM53FSG); 2) currents larger than
10A
through the
10A
jack; or 3) currents larger than 5A through the
10A
jack for more than 10 seconds at a time or for more than
