Measurement Considerations

NOTICE: Read and understand all warning and caution statements

listed in the safety section of this operation manual prior to using this

meter.

1. Always move the rotary function switch to the OFF position when the

meter is not in use. This meter has Auto Power OFF that

automatically shuts the meter OFF if 17 minutes elapse without

activity.

2. If "OL" appears on the display during a measurement, the

measurement exceeds the range selected. Change to a higher range.

AC, DC or AC+DC Voltage Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack and the red test

lead into the positive V jack.

2. Set the function switch to the "VAC", "VDC" or "mV" position

3. In “VAC” press the SELECT key to toggle between AC and dBm.

4. In “VDC” press the SELECT key to toggle between DC and AC+DC.

5. In “mV” press the SELECT key to toggle between DC, AC and

AC+DC.

6. Read the voltage measurement on the display.

7. Press the 500000 key momentarily to toggle between 50,000 counts

and 500,000 counts in DCV or DC mV.

Note: The setting selected will be stored in non-volatile memory and will

become the default setting.

dBm Measurements

1. Set up and connect as described for ACV measurements.

2. Press the SELECT key momentarily to select dBm.

3. The reference impedance will be displayed for 1 second before the

dBm display appears.

4. Press the RANGE key momentarily to change the reference

impedance.

AC or DC Current Measurements

CAUTION: Do not make current measurements at 20A for longer than

30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter

and/or the test leads.

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack.
