IRONMETER 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.
IRONMETER 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. Before activating the rotary switch, disconnect the test leads from the circuit being measured.
IRONMETER 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The instrument carries out the following measurements: DC voltage AC TRMS voltage DC current AC TRMS current Resistance and Continuity test Frequency Duty Cycle Diode test Capacity Each of these functions can be activated by means of the appropriate switch.
IRONMETER 4.2. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION KEYS 4.2.1. HOLD/ Pressing the HOLD/ key freezes the value of the measured quantity on the display. After pressing this key, the message appears on the display. Press the HOLD/ key again “ ” to exit the function.
IRONMETER 4.3. DESCRIPTION OF ROTARY SWITCH FUNCTIONS 4.3.1. 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.
IRONMETER 4.3.2. 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.
IRONMETER 4.3.3. Resistance measurement and 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. 5: Use of the instrument for resistance measurement and continuity test 1.
IRONMETER 4.3.4. Diode 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 diode test 1. Select position ...
IRONMETER 4.3.5. Capacitance measurement CAUTION Before carrying out capacitance measurements on circuits or capacitors, cut off power supply from the circuit being tested and let all capacitance in it be discharged. When connecting the multimeter and the capacitance to be measured, respect the correct polarity (when required).
IRONMETER 4.3.6. DC Current measurement CAUTION Maximum input DC current is 10A (input 10A) or 400mA (input VHz%mACAP ). Do not measure currents exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
IRONMETER 4.3.7. AC Current measurement CAUTION Maximum input AC current is 10A (input 10A) or 400mA (input VHz%mAACAP ). Do not measure currents exceeding the limits given in this manual. Exceeding voltage limits could result in electrical shocks to the user and damage to the instrument.
IRONMETER 5. MAINTENANCE CAUTION Only expert and trained technicians should perform maintenance operations. Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect all cables from the input terminals. Do not use the instrument in environments with high humidity levels or high temperatures. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
