Average sensing RMS calibrated RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC value of an AC signal. Most digital multimeters use average sensing RMS calibrated technique to measure RMS values of AC signals. This technique is to obtain the average value by rectifying and filtering the AC signal.

value, and is commonly used to define the dynamic range of a True RMS DMM. A pure sinusoidal waveform has a Crest Factor of 1.4. A badly distorted sinusoidal waveform normally has a much higher Crest Factor. 4) OPERATION CAUTION Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.

Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. Note: Conductance is the inverse of Resistance, that is S=1/ or nS=1/G. It virtually extends the Resistance measurements to the order of Giga-Ohms for leakage measurements.

loop current in industrial process control applications. *Note: When measuring a 3-phase system, special attention should be taken to the phase-to-phase voltage which is significantly higher than the phase-to-earth voltage. To avoid exceeding the voltage rating of the protection fuse(s) accidentally, always consider the phase-to-phase voltage as the working voltage for the protection fuse(s).

5) MAINTENANCE WARNING To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads from the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate with open case. Install only the same type of fuse or equivalent Calibration Accuracy is specified for a period of one year after calibration.
