Chapter II GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS You have just acquired a 5000 count-portable digital multimeter and we thank you for your confidence. This instrument complies with the specification of EN publication 61010-1, concerning safety requirements for electronic measuring apparatus. To get the best service from this instrument, read carefully this user’s manual and respect the detailed safety precautions.
Chapter II ∗ When performing current measurements, never change of range, do not connect or disconnect leads without first isolating the current. If you do, there is a risk of generating surge currents which can blow the fuses or damage the instrument. ∗...
Chapter II 1.3. Safety devices ∗ The battery unit and fuses cannot be accessed without first disconnecting the measuring leads. ∗ When measuring voltages above 24 V, the symbol blinks on the display. ∗ If the maximum range is repeatedly exceeded, an intermittent audible signal indicates the risk of electric shock.
Chapter II DESCRIPTION This multimeter is one of the ASYC II (Advanced SafetY Concept, third generation) range, designed for a high degree of user safety, maximum protection and unrivalled performance. 2.1. Selector switch It is a standalone, handheld professional measuring instrument, capable of measuring the following quantities (accessed by the eleven-position rotary selector switch) : •...
Chapter II COMMISSIONING 3.1. Connecting the test leads Connect the black lead to the COM socket (for all measurements). Depending on the position of the selector switch, connect the red lead as follows: Rotary selector switch position Input terminal VΩ , Ω, , mV 10 A...
Chapter II 3.5. Multimeter maintenance 3.5.1. Fuse self-test When fuse F1 (0.63 A) or F2 (11 A) is blown, the display shows “FUSE.1” or “FUSE.2”, accordingly. If both fuses are blown, the display shows “FUSES”. Replace the fuse or fuses concerned. Note Fuse F1 cannot be tested unless the switch is set to a mA position.
Chapter II FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 4.1. SEL/ON key This can be used to switch on the multimeter again after an automatic shutdown. It can also be used to access secondary functions associated with the selector switch positions. The flowcharts below define these various functions. 4.1.1.

Chapter II 4.5. HOLD key Short press : Sets the display on the current value. Long press : Accesses or quits the “autostore” mode. Can be accessed in the V , mV, V positions. Autostore Set the probes on the point to be measured. An audio signal indicates if the measurement is stable.
Chapter II TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Only those values assigned tolerances or limits are guaranteed values. Values without tolerances are given for information only (French standard NFC 42670). The technical specifications are guaranteed only after 30 min warm-up period. Except special indication, they are valid from 5 to 100 % of the range of measurement. {Accuracy : ‘’n%R + nD’’...
