Frequency can be measured at ACV functions by
pressing "Hz/DUTY" Switch. Concerning with the
direction for use of "Hz/ DUTY" Switch, please
reference to the item7-1 Hz/DUTY in this document.
Note) The minimum input can be measured is approx. 1.5V.
To measure a frequency, measure the voltage on the
electrical circuit in advance. Then press the "Hz/
DUTY" Key to enter into frequency measurement.
Readings of frequency may fluctuate or be
influenced under noisy environment.
7. How to use Function Switches
7-1SELECT,Hz/DUTYKey
At each function, the actions of SELECT, Hz/DUTY key
are different so please refer to following items and make
active use of them.
● ACV function
(Above two keys act as Hz/DUTY switch key.)
Capable of selecting the Voltage, Frequency or
DUTY measurement mode.
At the initial condition, Voltage measurement has
been selected for the ACV function.
By pressing "Hz/DUTY" key, measuring mode
changes.
"Voltage" → "Frequency" → "DUTY"
● *At Voltage function, the Auto-ranging function is
released by pressing the SELECT key. To measure a
voltage again, turn the Function switch to the "OFF"
position once. Then set it to the Voltage function again.
● DCV, Ω and Capacitance measurement
(Above two keys act as REL△ key.)
Indicate the difference between measured values.
When any function ("DCV", "Ω" and "Capacitance")
selected, the measured value can be stored by
pressing SELECT key and after that, the difference
between stored value and measuring value is
indicated on the display
(△mark is keep lighting on the display while a value
is stored)
The stored value can be released by pressing
"SELECT" key again.
"Release" → "Memory"
● Continuity check /Diode check function
(Change between Continuity check and Diode check)
At the initial condition, "Continuity check" mode has
been selected for the Continuity check / Diode check
function.
By pressing "SELECT" key, measuring mode
changes.
"Continuity check" → "Diode check"
The relative measurement is allowed in the following
range.
* Measuring range = Full scale value at a range −
initial value
7-2DATAHOLDKey
The measured value can be hold at all functions.
By pressing "DATA HOLD" key, "DH" symbol indicated
on the display and the indicated value can be held.
By pressing "DATA HOLD" key again, "DH" symbol
disappears from the display and held data is released.
8. Auto Power Off
Auto power off function operates when about 15minutes
passed after power on this instrument. When Auto
power off function operates and the instrument powered
off, the power-off statue returns to normal by pressing
any key.
9. Battery Replacement
#
DANGER
● Never open the instrument case when making
measurement.
● To avoid getting electrical shock, be sure to remove
test leads from the instrument when opening the
instrument case in order to replace batteries.
(1) Remove the Portable holder from the instrument.
(2) Loosen one screw on the bottom of the instrument
and open the battery cover, then replace batteries.
Battery : Two LR44(SR44)1.5V or equivalent
10. Maintenance
