Off to save battery life. The instrument is completely o-ring sealed to pass strict IP-67 ratings for moisture and dust proof. The HD160C also has internal components shock - mounted for drop proof capability. The HD160C meets the highest safety rating of CAT IV 1000 V (1500V DC max). -
Page 5: Unpacking And Contents
Unpacking and Contents Your shipping carton should include the HD160C multimeter, a holster with Magna-Grip, one test lead set with alligator clips(one black, one red), one temperature adaptor, one Type K thermocouple probe, one 9 V battery (installed), a hex wrench (held inside holster) and this manual. -
Page 6: Display Symbols And Audible Symbols
Display Symbols and Audible Symbols Dangerous voltage warning (also double beep tone). Indicates input � voltages higher than 30 V ac or 60 V dc. Low-battery voltage Negative polarity indicator Overload Condition Input Overload (highest range in autoranging) is indicated by “OL or -OL” and a continuous tone. -
Page 7: Analog Bargraph
Analog Bargraph The 41 segment analog bargraph indicates the percentage of the range the displayed measurement relates to. The zero segment is lit when the instrument is turned on. Each segment after that equals 2.5 % of range. The 400 mA, 40 MΩ, and Capacitance ranges are limited to 16 segments. -
