Summary of Contents for CEM DT-9929

  • Page 1 User's Guide True RMS Industrial Multimeter...
  • Page 3 Introduction This meter measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency (electrical & electronic), Duty Cycle, Diode Test, and Continuity plus Thermocouple Temperature. It can store and recall data. It features a waterproof, rugged design for heavy duty use. Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of reliable service.
  • Page 4: Overvoltage Category

    PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I is equipment for connection to circuits in which measures are taken to limit the transient overvoltages to an appropriate low level. Note – Examples include protected electronic circuits. OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming equipment to be supplied from the fixed installation.
  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe operation. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum: Input Protection Limits Function Maximum Input...
  • Page 6 ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to replace the fuse or batteries. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse covers are in place and fastened securely. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

  • Page 8: Dc Voltage Measurements

    Operating Instructions WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. 1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. 2. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected.
  • Page 9: Ac Voltage (Frequency, Duty Cycle) Measurements

    AC VOLTAGE (FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it.
  • Page 10: Mv Voltage Measurements

    MV VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS CAUTION: Do not measure mV voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter. 1. Set the function switch to the green mV position. 2.
  • Page 11: Dc Current Measurements

    DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS CAUTION: Do not make 20A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 2.
  • Page 12: Ac Current (Frequency, Duty Cycle) Measurements

    AC CURRENT (FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS CAUTION: Do not make 20A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.
  • Page 13: Resistance Measurements

    RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the function switch to the green Ω CAP position.
  • Page 14: Continuity Check

    CONTINUITY CHECK WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or wires that have voltage on them. 1. Set the function switch to the green Ω CAP position. 2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive ...
  • Page 15: Capacitance Measurements

    CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the rotary function switch to the green Ω CAP position.
  • Page 16: Autoranging/Manual Range Selection

    FREQUENCY (DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS (ELECTRONIC) 1. Set the rotary function switch to the green Hz/% position. 2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive Hz jack. 3.

The meterleft auxiliary displaywill display and hold the maximum reading and will update only when a new “max” occurs.The display icon "MIN" will appear. The right auxiliary displaymeter will display and hold the minimum reading and will update only when a new “min”...
  • Page 18 PEAK HOLD The Peak Hold function captures the peak AC or DC voltage or current. The meter can capture negative or positive peaks as fast as 1 millisecond in duration. Momentarily press the PEAK button, “PEAK” and “MAX” will display in left auxiliary display. MIN” will display in right auxiliary display.
  • Page 19 To finish above STORE function, press EXIT button shortly. If you want to clean all the memory data, the steps are: When power on, press the EXIT button long time, and then turn the switch from OFF to random, and release the EXIT button, the LCD will flash thrice and meantime buzzer thrice, which meansall memory data have been cleaned.
