8 Product description
The multimeter (DMM) displays measurements on a digital display. The multimeter
has 6000 counts (count = smallest display value). The correct socket assignment
is displayed according to the measurement mode selected. Incorrect socket as-
signment is indicated by a warning sound and warning indicator. This increases the
operational safety of the multimeter for the user.
The DMM can be used to take measurements up to CAT III 600 V. It is suitable for
use in hobby and professional applications.
With this multimeter, you do not requently need to replace a fuse that has acciden-
tally tripped in the mA/µA measurement range. The built-in PTC protection elements
limit current flow in the event of an overload and thus protect the multimeter and the
current circuit. The PTC protection elements reset themselves after tripping and
a short cool-down period. For this, the current measurement circuit must only be
interrupted briefly.
When the meter is being used for mA/µA measurement, but the meter is mistakenly
connected to a high-energy high-voltage power supply, then the ceramic tube fuse
will work and probably blow to protect the meter. In such case, the blown ceramic
tube fuse is required to be replaced by a new one.
An external clamp transformer allows direct and alternating currents of up to 60 A
to be measured contactlessly without interrupting the current circuit. The measure-
ment input is equipped with a maintenance-free PTC protection element to protect
against overload.
The battery and fuse compartment can only be opened when all test leads have
been removed from the multimeter. When the battery and fuse compartment are
open, the test leads cannot be inserted into the measurement sockets. This is a
built-in safety feature designed to protect the user.
