Automatic Measuring Range Selection Switching the Instrument Off Manually The multimeter is equipped with auto-ranging for all Ð Press and hold the ON|OFF key until OFF appears at the measuring ranges, except for temperature measurement, and display.
Quick Measurements Triple Digital Display If you wish to perform quicker measurements than those pos- The three digital displays (1 main display and 2 auxiliary sible with the automatic measuring range selection function, displays) show the measured value with decimal and plus or make sure to establish the appropriate measuring range: minus sign.
Measured Value Storage The METRA HIT27 provides two entirely different options for storing data: 30.000 • Measured Value Memory – DATA Key Function: DATA Each time a measuring point is contacted, a measured value is stored in accordance with a defined condition 20.
Saving Minimum and Maximum Values “MIN/MAX” with Time Stamp 30.000 Minimum and maximum values can be displayed at the auxiliary displays for long-term observation of measured quantities. Ð Press the DATA|CLEAR key twice: Current MIN and MAX values appear at the auxiliary displays. Automatic range selection is disabled as long as the DATA Current Measured Value...
Voltage and Frequency Measurement 7.1.1 Zero Balancing in the 3 V DC Measuring Range Ð Select the 3 V measuring range. Ð Plug the measuring cables into the instrument and connect the free ends to each other. 226.000 Ð Press the FUNC key. The instrument acknowledges zero balancing with an acoustic signal, and „0.0000 V“...
Frequency Measurement [Hz] Resistance Measurement (2-wire connection) [Ω] Ð Ð Select the V~/Hz measuring function with the rotary Make sure that the device under test is voltage-free (see selector switch. chapter 7.1). Interference voltages distort measurement results and damage the instrument! Ð...
Continuity Test during Resistance Measurement Diode Measurements If the “acoustic signal ” function is activated and the Ð Make sure that the device under test is voltage-free (see 0 ... 310 Ω measuring range is selected, a continuous chapter 7.1). Interference voltages distort measurement acoustic signal is generated by the instrument within a range results! of 0 to approx.
Milliohm Measurement (4-Pole-Measurement) Compensation of Cable Resistance 01.180 Electrical resistance is a dipole quantity which can generally mΩ only be measured using two poles. This is accomplished by m Ω directing a measuring current of predetermined magnitude through the device under test, and measuring the resultant voltage drop.
Milliohm Measurement with 200 mA or 20 mA DC [mΩ] Temperature Measurement [°C] Ð Make sure that the device under test is voltage-free (see Resistance thermometers (available as accessories) are used chapter 7.1). Interference voltages distort measurement for temperature measurement. A 2-pole measurement is utilized.

11.2 Insulation Resistance Measurement Note! Ð Press and hold the FUNC key until the display settles in, in Testing the Measurement Cables order to measure insulation resistance. Initial testing should be performed by short-circuiting the measurement cables using their test probes. The Attention! instrument must display nearly 0 Ω.
Using the Menus – from the Initial InFO Menu to 12.2 Saving Measured Values Operating and Measuring Parameters The METRA HIT27 provides two entirely different options for storing data: Menu-driven operation via the initial „1NF0“ menu allows the user to query online help, activate the memory and query •...
12.3 Querying Memory Occupancy – INFO MEMO/OCCUP 12.2.2 Memory Mode Operation – STORE Menu Function Ð Memory occupancy can be queried from the „1NF0“ menu. First set the sampling rate for memory mode operation, The main display shows current occupancy as a percentage and then start memory mode operation.
12.6 Transmission Mode Operation with RS 232 Interface The METRA HIT27 is equipped with an bidirectional infrared interface for the transmission of measurement data to a PC. Data are transferred optically through the instrument housing by means of infrared light to an interface adapter (accessory USB-HIT), which is attached to the instrument.
