Safety Features and Precautions You have selected an instrument which provides you with a high level of safety This instrument fulfills the requirements of the applicable Euro- pean and national EC guidelines. We confirm this with the CE marking. The relevant declaration of conformity can be obtained from GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH.
Errors and Extraordinary Strains If it may be assumed that the instrument can no longer be operated safely, it must be removed from service and secured against further use. Safe operation can no longer be relied upon • if the instrument demonstrates visible damage, •...
Selecting Measuring Functions and Ranges Automatic Measuring Range Selection The multimeter is equipped with automatic measuring range selection. This automatic feature is active as soon as the instrument is switched on, and automatically selects the measuring range which provides optimum resolution. The voltage measuring range selected in the V AC selector switch position remains active after switching to frequency measurement “Hz”, and automatic measuring range selection...
Minimum and Maximum Value Storage “MIN/MAX” with Time Stamp Minimum and maximum measurement values can be stored to memory with the MIN/MAX function. The most important appli- cation for this function is the determination of minimum and maximum values during long-term observation of measure- ment values.
Zero Balancing (for V , mA , Ω and °C) Ð Select the desired measuring range with the MAN|AUTO key. Ð 2-Wire Resistance Measurement, Current Measurement or Temperature Measurement with Pt100 or Pt1000: short-circuit the positive and negative poles of sockets „mAΩ...
Current Measurement Ð First disconnect supply power to the measuring circuit or the load component, and discharge any capacitors which may be present. Ð Set the selector switch to “mA”. After this selection has been made with the rotary switch, the DC current mode is always active.
Resistance Measurement Resistance measurements can be performed for devices with high inductive or capacitive components such as motors, transformers, coils etc. Ð Be certain that the device under test is voltage-free. Extraneous voltages distort measurement results! Ð Set the rotary switch to “Ω ”...
Temperature Measurement 10.1 Temperature Measurement with Pt100 and Pt1000 Ð Enter the type of sensor to be used (Pt100 or Pt1000) in the menu mode: SEnSor ↵ Pt 100 Pt 1000 ↵ rAtE Ð Set the selector switch to “°C ”...
í Heat or cool the sensor to a known temperature (e.g 0 °C in ice water), and measure the sensor’s resistance with the Ω function using the 1 kΩ range for Pt100 sensors, and the 10 kΩ range for Pt1000 sensors. Cable resistance is equal to the difference between the setpoint (100 Ω...
Storing Measurement Values to Memory The instrument is equipped with a quartz-movement synchro- nized measurement-value memory (128 kB), which has suffi- cient capacity for 30000 measurement values. Data can be stored to intermediate memory, or transmitted directly to a PC. Memory content can only be read out with the help of a PC, an ...

Ð After the desired parameter has been selected, the various possible setting can be called up by activating the ↵ key. Ð The desired value can be selected by repeatedly activating key. Ð Acknowledge with the ↵ key and return to operation in the measuring mode.
12.1 Description of Measurement Parameters and Memory Commands rAtE – Sampling Rate (storage or measuring rate) The sampling rate determines the interval, after which the respective measurement values are transmitted to the interface or the measurement value memory. The following sampling rates are possible: ...
For example: • Select and read out measuring parameters • Select measuring function and range • Start measurement • Read out measurement values (online readout with simultaneous measurement: shortest possible sampling period is 100 ms) The interface is always active if the instrument is switched on. 13.1 Selecting Interface Parameters Addr –...

Maintenance – Recalibration Attention! Disconnect the instrument from the measuring circuit before opening to replace batteries! 16.1 Batteries Note! Battery Replacement Stored measurement values are deleted when the battery is replaced. We recommend connecting the power pack, or uploading data to a PC with the help ...
16.2 Power Pack NA HIT 2X Use only the power pack for power supply to your instrument. The highly insulated cable assures safety for the operator, and the power pack provides for reliable electrical isolation. When a mains power pack is used, the batteries inside the instrument are disconnected automatically.
16.5 Device Return and Environmentally Compatible Disposal The instrument is a category 9 product (monitoring and control instrument) in accordance with ElektroG (German Electrical and Electronic Device Law). This device is subject to the RoHS directive. Furthermore, we make reference to the fact that the current status in this regard can be accessed on the Internet at www.gossenmetrawatt.com by entering the search term WEEE.
