Notes
•
Although the capacitance ranges have been protected internally, you must fully
discharge the capacitor to be measured to avoid possible meter damage and
measuring errors.
•
During large-capacitance measurement, it will take some time to get a stable
reading.
•
Unit, 1000pF=1nF, 1000nF=1μF
Measuring Temperature (72-2595 only)
•
Insert the test probe banana plugs into the input terminals (red to mA and black to
COM).
•
Turn the range selector to
º
C or
º
F range, and the LCD displays the ambient
temperature.
•
Place the probe near the object being measured.
•
Read the measured temperature directly from the Display in
º
C or
º
F.
Testing Diodes and Continuity
•
Insert the test leads into the input terminals (red to
and black to COM, the
polarity of the red test lead is “+”). Then turn the range selector to
range.
•
Connect the test probes with the diode being tested. The reading obtained is the
approximate value of the forward voltage drop.
•
Connect the test probes with the circuit under test, if the resistance between the
two tested points is <10Ω, the built-in buzzer sounds.
•
Battery Test (72-2590 only)
•
Insert the test leads into the input terminals (red to
and black to COM).
•
Turn the range selector to a
range.
•
Connect the test probes with the battery being measured in series and ensure the
polarity is correct (red with “+”, black with “-”).
•
The measured value shows on the display, which is the voltage between the
cathode and anode of the battery.
Note:
When battery testing has been completed, disconnect the test probes from the
battery under test.
Auto Power Off
•
The meter features an Auto Power Off function. It will power off automatically
after 15 minutes inactivity and enter the sleep mode which reduces battery power
consumption.
•
If you want to power on the meter again, press the POWER button twice.
