Turning the multimeter OFF Ø Press the "ON/OFF" pushbutton (2). Function and range selection The function selector switch (6) is coupled with the Automatic terminal Blocking System which allows access only to two correct sockets for each function. Prior to switching to the "mA" functions or from the "mA" or “A” functions, remove the test lead from the corresponding socket.
4. Triple Digital Display The t hree digital displays, one main display and two sub-displays, show the measurement value with correct decimal point and sign. The selected unit of measure and the current type are also displayed. A minus sign appears in front of the number for the measurement of zero-frequency direct quantities, 15 Digits if the positive pole of the measured quantity is applied to perpendicular input.
5.DATA “HOLD” facility. Measurement values can be automatically “frozen” with the data function. This can be especially useful when your full attention is required for testing the measuring point with the test probes. 0.05+3 After the measurement value has been acquired, and the appropriate 0.2+3 “condition”...
