Continuity test/resistance measurement
To make a continuity test or resistance measurement, select
“400Ω“ with the rotary switch. You
can now connect the test leads to your sample and measure the resistance. The measurement
range is set automatically. The continuity test takes place at the same time.
Note:
If the sample carries a voltage of at least 30 V, the meter will display
“>30 V“ and “ “, a
beep sound will be audible and the meter will not make a measurement. Therefore, it is important
to remove any external voltages before each measurement.

Voltage measurement AC/DC
To measure alternating current, select
“750V“ with the rotary switch. Now you can connect the
test leads to your sample. The present voltage will directly be shown in the upper part of the
display. The current battery voltage will be shown in the lower part of the display.
To measure direct current, turn the rotary switch to the
”1000V“ position. Then connect the test
lead to the sample. The reading will be shown directly in the upper part of the display.
The measurement range is determined automatically for both functions.
10 Automatic Power Off function
The meter turns off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity. This function cannot be disabled.
To turn on the meter again after auto power off, turn the rotary switch back to
“OFF“ and then turn
it o the desired position.
11 Keys
The meter has four keys which have the following functions:
11.1
Hold reading
Press the HOLD key to freeze the reading.
“HOLD“ will be displayed. Press the HOLD key again
to continue with the measurement.
“HOLD” will now disappear.
11.2
MAX/MIN
Press and hold the MAX/MIN key to start the MAX/MIN function.
“MAX“ will appear in the display
first. This function will display the maximum reading. Press the key again to view the lowest value.
“MIN” will be displayed. Press and hold this key to return to normal measuring mode.
Note:
This function is only available with the measuring functions
”400Ω“, ”1000VDC“ and
”750VAC“.
11.3
Freehand measurement (LOCK key)
Press the LOCK key. A lock icon will appear in the display. Now press the TEST key. An audible
signal indicates that voltage is now present in the measuring tips. This voltage will be shown as
a reading in the lower part of the display. The currently measured resistance value is shown in
the upper part of the display. The high voltage is discharged as soon as the TEST key is pressed
again. This procedure can be followed by looking at the lower part of the display. When the
discharge is completed, the beep sound will be muted and the measuring tips can be removed
safely.
