Operation
3.1
Function wheel
Use the function wheel to select the desired measuring function. You have 5 different settings:
1.
Off
2.
Voltage measurement
(“V”)
3.
Resistance measurement, diode test, continuity test
(“Ω“)
4.
Current measurement
(“mA”)
5.
Non-contact voltage measurement
(“NCV”)
3.2
Mode button
With the mode button, you can switch between different measuring modes within the selected
measuring function. For example, you can switch between AC and DC measurement or
between resistance measurement, diode test and continuity test.
3.3
Range button
Use the range button to change the measuring range and accuracy of the selected function.
Keep in mind that the measuring range might be exceeded when changing switching to a
smaller measuring range. In this case, the display shows an overload indication. Switch to a
higher measuring range or to the auto measuring mode by pressing and holding the range
button for 2 seconds. If the overload indication does not disappear the parameter to be
measured is too high and cannot be measured with the multimeter. This might cause damage to
the device.
3.4
Hold button
By pressing the hold button, you can freeze the current reading on the display. The display
shows a hold indication. To unfreeze the reading, press the hold, range or mode button or use
the function wheel.
3.5
Voltage measurement
To use the voltage measurement function, connect the test lead to the device. Next, turn the tip
of the device clockwise until the measuring tip comes out. Select the voltage measurement
function by using the function wheel. Use the mode button to select AC or DC measurement.
Now you can perform a voltage measurement.
3.6
Resistance measurement
To use the resistance measurement function, connect the test lead to the device. Next, turn the
tip of the device clockwise until the measuring tip comes out. Select the resistance
measurement function by using the function wheel.
Now you can perform a resistance measurement.
3.7
Diode test
In order to use the diode test function, follow the steps in chapter 3.6 and press the mode button
to switch to the diode test function. Now you can check diodes.
