FLASHMETER 1. PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES The instrument has been designed in compliance with directive IEC/EN61010-1 relevant to electronic measuring instruments. For your safety and in order to prevent damaging the instrument, please carefully follow the procedures described in this manual and read all notes preceded by symbol with the utmost attention.
FLASHMETER 1.2. DURING USE Please carefully read the following recommendations and instructions: CAUTION Failure to comply with the caution notes and/or instructions may damage the instrument and/or its components or be a source of danger for the operator. When the instrument is connected to the circuit being measured, do not touch any unused terminal.
FLASHMETER 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The instrument carries out the following measurements in full Autorange: DC voltage AC TRMS voltage Detection of AC voltage without contact Resistance and Continuity test According to the quantity present at the input, the instrument automatically switches between voltage and resistance measurement.
FLASHMETER 3. PREPARATION FOR USE 3.1. INITIAL CHECKS Before shipping, the instrument has been checked from an electric as well as mechanical point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the instrument is delivered undamaged. However, we recommend generally checking the instrument in order to detect possible damage suffered during transport.
FLASHMETER 4.3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION KEYS 4.3.1. ON/OFF key ( ) Pressing the key allows turning on the instrument. Press and hold the key for approx. 1s to turn off the instrument. 4.3.2. AutoHold/ Pressing the AutoHold/ key allows activating/deactivating the built-in white-light torch (see Fig.
FLASHMETER 5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5.1.1. DC voltage measurement CAUTION The maximum input DC voltage is 600V. Do not measure voltages exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
FLASHMETER 5.1.2. AC voltage measurement CAUTION The maximum input AC voltage is 600V. Do not measure voltages exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
FLASHMETER 5.1.3. Resistance measurement CAUTION Before attempting any resistance measurement, cut off power supply from the circuit to be measured and make sure that all capacitors are discharged, if present. Fig. 5: Use of the instrument for Resistance measurement 1. Switch on the instrument by pressing the ON/OFF key. The measuring mode Ω...
FLASHMETER 5.1.4. Continuity test CAUTION Before attempting any resistance measurement, cut off power supply from the circuit to be measured and make sure that all capacitors are discharged, if present. Fig. 6: Use of the instrument for Continuity test 1. Switch on the instrument by pressing the ON/OFF key. The measuring mode Ω...
