  • Page 12: Data Hold

    This mode uses a ‘Lo Z’ low ramp-up impedance (approx. 2.1kΩ for low voltages) to drain ghost voltages. Refer to Section 6.2 Low Impedance Auto-Voltage Measurements for complete details. FLIR DM6x USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM6x-en-US_AA...

  • Page 14: Low Impedance (Lo Z) Auto-Voltage Measurements (Dm64/66 Only)

    Do not use this feature on circuits that could be damaged by such low input impedance. Instead, use the high input impedance voltage modes to minimize loading on such circuits (rotary switch set to the position). FLIR DM6x USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM6x-en-US_AA...

  • Page 15: Line Frequency Measurements (Dm64/Dm66 Only)

    First measure the signal voltage (or current) level and then activate the Hz function in that range to find the optimum trigger level. If the Hz reading becomes unstable, select a lower sensitivity to avoid electrical noise. If the reading shows zero, select a higher sensitivity.

  • Page 16: Resistance And Continuity Measurements

    CAUTION Be sure to remove power from any circuit or device before measuring resistance and continuity. Measuring resistance and continuity on a live circuit will produce false results and may damage the instrument. FLIR DM6x USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM6x-en-US_AA...

  • Page 17: Capacitance (Dm64/Dm66) And Diode Measurements

    Figure 6-5 – Capacitance Testing CAUTION Discharge capacitors before making any measurements. Large value capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load.
