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
key. The “
AUTO”
display indicator will turn off.
2. Press the
RANGE
key to step through the available ranges until you select the range you
want.
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.
MAX/MIN
Note:
When using the MAX/MIN function in Autoranging mode, the meter will “lock” into the
range that is displayed on the LCD when MAX/MIN is activated. If a MAX/Min reading
exceeds that range, an “OL” will be displayed. Select the desired range BEFORE
entering MAX/MIN mode.
1. Press the
MAX/MIN
key to activate the MAX/MIN recording mode. The display icon "
MAX
"
will appear. The meter will display and hold the maximum reading and will update only
when a new “max” occurs.
2. Press the
MAX/MIN
key again and the display icon "
MIN
" will appear. The meter will display
and hold the minimum reading and will update only when a new “min” occurs.
3. To exit MAX/MIN mode press and hold the
MAX/MIN
key for 2 seconds.
RELATIVE MODE
The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored
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 the reading in the display and 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.
DISPLAY BACKLIGHT
Press the
HOLD
key for >1 second to turn on or off the display backlight 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
The auto off feature will turn the meter off after 30 minutes. To disable the auto power off
feature, hold down the
MODE
button and turn the meter on.
