7. Product description
The multimeter displays measurements on a digital display. The multimeter has 6000 counts (count = smallest
display value). The true RMS value is used when measuring AC voltages and currents.
To prolong the battery life, the multimeter switches off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity. The automatic
switch-off function can be manually disabled.
The meter can be used for DIY, professional, and industrial purposes up to CAT IV. The rubber seal gives the multi-
meter a robust design and enables it to withstand falls from up to 2 m. The multimeter is also dust and splash-proof
(IP54). Before replacing the batteries or fuse, check that the battery compartment seal is clean and intact. Remove
dirt and dust with a thin cotton swab. The seal must not be damaged. Do not apply grease or other sealants, as this
may affect the safety of the device.
Protective caps may be attached to the test lead plugs. Remove these before inserting the test leads into the
multimeter.
Control knob (16)
Use the control knob to select a measuring mode/range. Automatic
range selection (“AUTO”) is enabled in most measuring modes. This
means that the appropriate measurement range will be selected
automatically.
To select the modes marked in red, press the “SELECT” button (e.g.
to switch from resistance to continuity test or AC to DC). To select
“MOTOR” mode, move the control knob to the “V” position, then
press and hold the “SELECT” button for 2 seconds.
To turn the multimeter off, move the control knob to the “OFF” positi-
on. Always turn the multimeter off when it is not in use.
