6. Initial calibration
Set up the demo multimeter vertically.
Do not connect measuring leads to begin
with.
Set the toggle switch 1 to
.
Set the power switch to .
The needle will point to the zero point of the scale
on the left. If it does not, the amount of charge of
the battery should be checked.
7. Operation
7.1 To switch on:
Set the power switch to .
7.2 Checking battery charge:
Turn on the demo-multimeter.
Disconnect all measuring leads.
Set the toggle switch 2 to
.
Set the rotary switch to
.
If the battery is sufficiently charged, the needle
will point to the following range indication,
. If this is not the case, the battery will
need to be replaced immediately.
7.3 Zero point calibration:
Turn on the demo-multimeter.
Turn the rotary switch to 600 V.
Connect the common/ground socket and the
voltage measurement socket together by
means of a short connecting lead.
Turn the zero-point trimmer screw to adjust
the zero point as needed.
7.4 Zero point calibration for centre zero
point:
For measurements of DC current and voltage, the
zero point of the scale can be moved to the centre
of the dial. For this purpose the scales are la-
belled with red numbers..
Turn on the demo-multimeter.
Disconnect all measuring leads.
Set the toggle switch 2 to
.
Set the toggle switch 1 to
.
Use the zero-point trimmer to line up the nee-
dle precisely in the centre of the dial (red di-
vision).
7.5 To switch off:
Set the power switch to
.
Set the four-way switch to
.
When the meter is turned off, the needle points to
.
7.6 If a measurement is interrupted by battery
cut-out:
After 45 minutes of use, the multimeter is auto-
matically shut off and the needle will then point to
.
To switch back on:
Set the power switch of the multimeter to off
and then use it to turn the meter back on.
