(9) Auto Power Off (APO) If the meter idles for more than 10 minutes, the meter automatically turns the power off. When this happens, the state (non-logic measurement) of the meter is saved, the meter can be turned back on by pressing any switch or changing the rotary switch.
Page 8 Required Equipment Required equipment is listed in Table B. If the recommended models are not available, equipment with equivalent specifications may be used. Repairs or servicing should be performed only by qualified personnel. Table B. Required Equipment Equipment Required Characteristics Recommended Model AC Voltage Range: 0 ~ 750V AC...
Page 9 Basic Maintenance Warning To avoid shock, remove the test leads and any input signals before opening the case or replacing the battery or fuses. Opening the Meter Case Caution To avoid unintentional shock, always place the uncovered Meter assembly on a protective surface. When the case of the Meter is open, circuit connections are exposed.
Page 10 Testing Fuses To test the internal fuses of the meter. 1. Turn the rotary selector switch to the Ω position. 2. To test FS1, plug a test lead into VΩHz input terminal, and touch the probe to the A input terminal. The display should indicate between 0.0 to 0.2Ω.
Page 11 Performance Tests The following performance tests verify the complete operability of the Meter and check the accuracy of each Meter function against the Meter’s specifications. Accuracy specifications are valid for a period of one year after calibration, when measured at an operating temperature of 18°C to 28°C and a maximum of 80% relative humidity.
Page 12 Testing the Voltage Function To verify accuracy in the AC and DC voltage ranges, do the following: 1. Turn the rotary switch to “V ” position. 2. Connect the Calibrator to the VΩHz and COM inputs on the Meter. 3.
Page 13 Table 3 Ω Resistance Test: Step Source Reading 150.0Ω 148.6Ω to 151.4Ω 1.500KΩ 1.486KΩ to 1.514KΩ 15.00KΩ 14.86KΩ to 15.14KΩ 150.0KΩ 148.6KΩ to 151.4KΩ 1.500MΩ 1.482MΩ to 1.518MΩ 15.00MΩ 14.74MΩ to 15.26MΩ Lead resistance on the 200Ω range is not included in error. Testing the Capacitance Function The Meter measures capacitance by charging the capacitor with a known direct current, measuring the resultant voltage, and calculating the capacitance.
Page 14 Testing the amp (A) Function To verify the accuracy of AC current measurement functions, do the following: 1.Connect the Calibrator to the A and COM inputs on the Meter. 2. Turn the rotary switch to A 3. Apply the inputs for steps 1-4 in Table 5. 4.
Page 15 Calibration Procedure Recalibrate your meter: It is recommended that the multimeter be calibrated once each year. 1. Perform calibration at an ambient temperature of 23°C±2°C and a relative humidity of 75% or less. 2. Disconnect the test leads and turn the meter off. Remove the test leads from the front terminals. 3.
