1. DATA HOLD freezes display with the touch of a button, indicator in LCD turns on. A second touch resets. 2. MAX HOLD remembers the largest number displayed, indicator in LCD turns on. Second touch resets. 3. Phase rotation feature identifies phase relationship of three-phase power.
MULTIMETER SETUP FREQUENCY (Hz) VOLTS For DC volts, select DC, not AC as shown above. PHASE ROTATION RESISTANCE (Ohms)

AMPS<200mA AMPS>200mA For DC amps through the meter, select DC, not AC as shown above. CAPACITANCE (µ µ µ µ µ Farads) AMPS WITH CLAMP For best resolution on any Discharge first function, choose range just above value you expect. If display reads overload ("OL") select a higher range.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES EVER-INCREASING LINE OF ACCESSORY HEADS The HB74 can be used to test a wide variety of parameters. Plug the ADL2 test leads in the acces- sory head and connect to the meter. In most cases, use the 200mVDC range to read the pa- rameter directly.

Model ACMK3 CARBON MONOXIDE HEAD AND PUMP Measures carbon monoxide content of air in parts per mil- lion (PPM). Measures from 0 to 2000PPM. Fast reacting. Use the pump to extract samples from specific test sites. Model AMD1 MICROWAVE OVEN DIODE TESTER It takes more voltage than a DMM can supply to test the forward direction of a high voltage diode.

Functional Specifications Accuracy specifications good for 75°F±5°F, relative humidity less than 70%. Accuracy specified as ±% of reading ± number of least significant digits. For example if the actual parameter is 100 and the accuracy is specified as 1%±3, the measurement could be as high as 101.3 or as low as 98.7 on the 200 scale.
AC current Ranges: 200µA, 200mA, 20A* Resolution: 0.1µA Frequency response: 50Hz to 500Hz Accuracy: ±(1.5% rdg + 3dgts) on 200µA to 200mA ranges; ±(3.5% rdg + 3dgts) on 20A range Voltage burden: 250mV on 200µA range, 400mV on 200mA range and 600mV on 20A range. * 10A continuous, 20A for 30 seconds maximum.
WARNING TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, TURN OFF THE MULTIMETER AND DISCONNECT TEST LEADS BEFORE RE- MOVING THE BACK COVER Fuse Replacement If no current and capacitance measurements are possible, check for a blown overload protection fuse. There are two fuses; F1 for the µ...
