For setting a high and low limit (Hi) and (Lo), press the "RANGE” but-
ton before you enter the set mode to set the desired measuring range
for the high and low limit. Then press the "SET” button to reach the set
mode and then the "Hi/Lo" button. The arrow symbol "^" will flash,
and on its right 4

digits for setting the value.
When the half digit flashes, only the numbers "1" or "0" (=blank) can
be set.
For the other four digits, the numbers from 0 to 9 are possible. After
entering the number, the next digit will flash.
When the setting of the high limit is done, press the "ENTER" button
(PAL SER) to confirm the lower limit. (Arrow symbol "
"). Proceed in
the same way as for setting the high limit. Make sure that the set val-
ue is below the upper limit, otherwise ".Err" for error will be displayed
and the measuring instrument will switch to the upper limit.
When the setting of the lower limit is done, press the "ENTER” button
for confirmation and return to the normal mode automatically.
D9 d)
For setting the tolerance limits (when measuring tolerances) press the
"RANGE” button before you enter the set mode to select the desired
range for the upper and lower tolerance.
Then press the SET button to reach the set mode and then the "TOL"
button. The "TOL” symbol above the large display will flash and
beneath it, the left digit of the 4
1

2
digits for setting the value.
This value will be needed for measuring tolerance (described in detail
below) without tolerance standards (in [%]).
When the setting is done, press the "ENTER" button (PAL SER). The
arrow symbol "^" will flash, and on its right 4

2
digits for setting the
value.
When the half digit flashes, only the numbers "1" or "0" (=blank) can
be set.
For the other four digits, the numbers from 0 to 9 are possible. After
entering the number, the next digit will flash.
When the setting of the high limit is done, press the "ENTER" button
(PAL SER) to confirm the lower limit. (Arrow symbol "
"). Proceed in
the same way as for setting the high limit. Make sure that the set val-
ue is below the upper limit, otherwise ".Err" for error will be displayed
and the measuring instrument will switch to the upper limit.
When the setting of the lower limit is done, press the "ENTER” button
for confirmation and return to the normal mode automatically.

For setting a reference value for measuring relative to a reference val-
ue (REL), press the "RANGE” button before you enter the set mode to
select the range (not possible afterwards). Then press the "SET” but-
ton once, and then the "REL” button. The delta symbol above the
large display will now flash, and beneath it the left digit of the 4

dig-
its for setting a reference value. When you have entered a number, the
next digit flashes etc.
When the reference value is set, press the "ENTER” button for confir-
mation and automatically return to the normal mode.
The second function of the "SET" button is the number "6".
D10 "REL" button for measuring relative to reference values
You can carry out this measurement in two ways:
with a reference value as described under D9e or without this standard.
D10 a) First, measuring a reference value without a pre-set value:
When measuring a component, press the "REL” button. This will set
the digital display to ".0000" when a component is connected. Dis-
connect the component, the difference will be displayed.
For example the value for an Elko is 1.13 µF. You press the "REL” but-
ton, the display switches to "0000". Now disconnect the Elko. Then the
value "– 01.13 µF" will be displayed.
D10 b) Now the same measurement with the pre-set value:
Press the "REL" button and then the "SET" button. The pre-set refer-
ence value (e.g. - 01,13µF) will be displayed. Connect the Elko to the
terminals with the correct polarity. "00.00" will then be displayed.
The second function of the "REL" button is the number "7".
D11 "Hi / Lo LIMITS" button
When you press this button while measuring a resistor (R), a capacitor (C) or
an inductor (L), the reference values will be activated automatically. You may
have set these reference values under D9c.
If the value goes over the upper limit (Hi), there will be an acoustic signal (6 x
beep) and the arrow symbol "^" will flash.
If the value falls below the lower limit (Lo), there will be a long sound (beeep)
and the arrow symbol "
" will flash.
