  • Page 7: Safety Precautions

    Safety Precautions The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any associated instrumenta- tion. Although some instruments and accessories would normally be used with non-hazardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditions may be present. This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions required to avoid possible injury.
  • Page 8 As described in the International Electrotechnical Commis- sion (IEC) Standard IEC 664, digital multimeter measuring circuits (e.g., Keithley Models 175A, 199, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2010) are Installation Category II. All other instruments’ signal terminals are Installation Category I and must not be connected to mains.
  • Page 9 Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of with- standing the voltage being measured.
  • Page 10 Keithley Instruments to maintain accuracy and functional- ity of the product.) If you are unsure about the applicability of a replacement component, call a Keithley Instruments office for information. To clean an instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water based cleaner.

    Introduction This quick reference guide includes summary informa- tion on front panel and remote operation for the Model 2010 Multimeter. For detailed operating information, consult the Model 2010 User’s Manual.

  • Page 13: Front Panel Operation Summary

    Operation Summary Power-on defaults Power-on defaults are those settings the instrument assumes when it is turned on. The Model 2010 offers two choices for the settings: user or factory. With user, the instrument will power-on to the settings stored in memory by the operator.

  • Page 17 FILTER — Filter state (on/off) and configuration can be changed for any measurement function, except fre- quency, period, continuity, and diode test. The FILTER key toggles between filter on (FILT annunciator on) and filter off. After pressing FILTER to enable the filter, you can then enter the filter count (1 to 100), and select the filter type (moving or repeating).
  • Page 18 Math To enable and configure a math operation, press SHIFT and then the desired math key (MX+B, %, dBm, or dB). Use the , and keys to configure the math operation and press ENTER when finished. Pressing SHIFT and then the related math key a second time dis- ables the math operation.

  • Page 19: Measuring Continuity

    Measuring continuity With this feature, the instrument alerts you with a beep when a resistance reading is below the set level. To measure continuity, press SHIFT and then CONT. Use , and keys to set the resistance threshold level, and press ENTER. Connect the test leads to INPUT HI and LO.
  • Page 20 Enabling limits — Press SHIFT and then ON/OFF to dis- play the beeper status. Use the keys to change the beeper status (NEVER, OUTSIDE, or INSIDE) and press ENTER to enable limits. Pressing SHIFT and then ON/OFF a second time disables limit operations. Reading hold With this feature, an audible beep is sounded when a valid, settled reading is acquired.
  • Page 21 While in 2-wire or 4-wire ohms (Ω2 or Ω4), select offset compensation by pressing SHIFT and then O COMP. Ratio This feature lets you perform a ratio calculation between the sense input (denominator) and the measure input (numerator) for DC voltage. It lets you compare DC voltages (measure input) to a reference voltage (sense input).
