General Information
5.4.2 Measurement Out of Range (Alert)
When performing a test, if a group of arrows displays onscreen, this indicates that the
measurement is out of range for the scale selected.
•
Arrows pointing UP—measurement over maximum range
•
Arrows pointing DOWN—measurement under minimum range
Voltage measurements also display arrows in place of live values when the voltage exceeds the
input rating of the meter.

Risk of electrical shock.
• Do not exceed voltage limits between inputs as indicated on the rating label.
• Use extreme caution when working with circuits that have greater than 40 volts AC or
24 volts DC.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury, equipment damage, or circuit damage.
IMPORTANT:
If arrows are displayed in the live voltage values, discontinue circuit testing.
Correct an out-of-range condition by selecting a scale setting appropriate for the signal being
sampled. See
Scale (Vertical scale adjustment)
‚ on page 45 for more information.
