DC current measurements. To perform a zero, select ADC and, with no conductor in the jaw, press and the REL button. The display will zero. The offset value is now stored and removed from all measurements. MA640-en-GB_V2.4 5/15...
Continuity Test Connect as described for resistance measurements. Press the MODE button to select continuity Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test. If the resistance is < 60, a tone will sound. MA640-en-GB_V2.4 5/15...
Touch the red test probe tip to the other side of the device. Read the capacitance value in the display. Note: For very large values of capacitance measurement time can be several seconds before the final reading stabilizes. MA640-en-GB_V2.4 5/15...
The meter will begins recording and displaying the maximum value measured. Press the MAX/MIN button and “MIN” will appear. The meter will display the minimum value measured during the recording session. To exit MAX/MIN mode press and hold the MAX/MIN button for 2 seconds. MA640-en-GB_V2.4 5/15...
If the meter is allowed to shut off, turn the function switch to the OFF position and then to the function again to restart.
