The digital display is oversized with large digits and icons in the display. In spite of its small size, the PM51 is full safety rated to CAT III 300 V, CAT II 600 V, and is UL listed. No other meter offers this size with such performance and high safety ratings.
Symbols Used in this Manual Battery Refer to the manual Double insulated Dangerous Voltage Direct Current Earth Ground Alternating Current Audible tone > Underwriter Laboratories, Complies with EU directives Inc. Making Measurements All measurements described in this manual use the red test lead for positive (+) polarity and the black test lead for ground reference (-) unless otherwise specified.
Selecting Functions Select measurement as shown in the diagram on the back of the meter. V dc and V ac Functions Rotate the rotary selector to the V position. V dc is the default function. The dc annunciator F appears on the display. Press the SELECT button momentarily to select V ac.
• A continuous beep tone indicates a complete circuit. 1. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. 2. Discharge any capacitors that may influence the reading. 3. Connect the test probes across the resistance or two measurement nodes. 4. Listen for the tone that indicates continuity (< 120 Ω). •...
