3. Introduction Thank you for selecting the FLIR DM91 True RMS Digital MultiMeter with Bluetooth®, Type-K thermocouple, automatic datalogging, and work light features. The DM91 can measure voltage up to 1000V AC/DC and includes Low-Z (low impedance), VFD (low pass filter), Non-Contact Voltage Detector, and Smart/Classic Diode modes. This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

‘Prob’ is shown. 4.5.2 Out-of-range warning If the input is over/under the full-scale range in Manual range mode, or if the signal has exceeded the maximum/minimum input in Auto range mode, ‘OL’ is displayed. FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
(the exception is that the Hz function is not available in the mode). 5. For DC Current/Voltage, Resistance, Continuity, Capacitance, Temperature, and Diode only the MAX-MIN-AVG, Relative, Datalogger, and Settings icons are available. FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
To change the range, press the button repeatedly until the desired range appears. 2. To return to the Auto range mode, long press the button until the Auto Range indicator again appears. FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
To display only the Frequency, navigate to the menu icon using the arrow buttons and enable (or disable) the mode by pressing OK. Fig. 5-1 Voltage and Frequency Measurements FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
5. If the resistance is < 20Ω the meter beeps. If the resistance is > 200Ω the meter will not beep. If the resistance is > 20Ω but < 200Ω the beeping will stop at an unspecified point. Fig. 5-2 Resistance and Continuity Measurements FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
5. If the reading is between 0.400 and 0.800V in one direction and OL (overload) in the opposite direction, the component is good. If the measurement is 0V in both directions (shorted) or OL in both directions (open), the component is bad.

The meter display will show ± 0.400 ~ 0.800V for a good diode, ‘bAd’ for a shorted diode, and ‘O.L’ for an opened diode. See Fig. 5.4 below: Fig. 5-4 SMART Diode Test FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
5. Read the capacitance value on the display. Note: For very large capacitance values, it may take several minutes for the measurement to settle and the final reading to stabilize. Fig. 5-5 Capacitance Measurements FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
5. Read the temperature value on the display. 6. To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the thermocouple adapter before turning the function switch to another position. Fig. 5-6 Temperature Measurements FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
5. Read the current and frequency values on the display (note that the frequency function is not available for the µA function). To display only the Frequency, navigate to the Hz icon and enable (or disable) the mode by pressing OK. FLIR DM91 USER MANUAL Document Identifier: DM91-en-US_AB...
