4. Compare the readings on the Meter display to readings in Table. 7
Note:
The meter selects the proper range automatically. Each measurement takes
about one second per range, 5mF takes about 15 seconds.
5. If the display reading falls outside of the range shown in Table 7, the Meter does not
meet specification.

Checking the Diode Test Function
To check the diode test function, do the following:
1. Connect the Calibrator to the
V
Ω
and
COM
inputs on the Meter.
2. Turn the rotary switch to
.
3. Apply 3.000V.
The meter display should read approx. 3.000V DC.
4. Press the blue button to test the
function.
5. Apply a 50
Ω
resistor to the meter. The built-in beeper alarms.
Testing the Milliamp (mA) Function
To verify the accuracy of AC and DC current measurement functions, do the following:
1. Connect the Calibrator to the
mA
and
COM
inputs on the Meter.
2. Turn the rotary switch to
mA
3. Apply the inputs for steps 1 - 5 in Table 8.
4. For each input, compare the readings on the Meter display to the readings
in Table 8.
5. If the display reading falls outside of the range shown in the Tables 8, the meter does
not meet specification.

6. Press the blue button on the Meter to toggle to DC measurement function.
7. Apply the inputs for steps 1 - 2 in Table 9.
8. For each input, compare the readings on the Meter display to the readings
in Table 9.
9. If the display reading falls outside of the range shown in the Tables, the meter does
not meet specification.
