Voltcraft® - In the field of measuring, charging and network technology, this name stands for high-quality products which perform superbly and which are created by experts whose concern is continuous innovation.
INTENDED USE Measuring and displaying electric parameters in the range of excess voltage category III (up to max. 600 V against ground potential, pursuant to EN 61010-1) and all lower categories. • Measuring direct and alternating voltage up to a maximum of 600 V •...
DELIVERY CONTENT • Digital multimeter • Measuring leads • 9 V monobloc battery • K-type thermo sensor (VC155 only) • Operating instructions SYMBOL EXPLANATION An exclamation mark in a triangle indicates important instructions in this operating manual which absolutely have to be observed. The triangle containing a lightning symbol warns of danger of an electric shock or of the impairment of the electrical safety of the device.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee. a) Persons / Product •...
a) Rotary switch (5) The individual measuring functions are selected via a rotary switch. The measuring range can be selected manually with this switch. b) Turning the measuring device on and off The DMM are turned on and off via the rotary switch (5). When the rotary switch (5) is set to “OFF”, the DMM is turned off.
a) Voltage measuring “V” Before measuring voltages, always make sure that the measuring instrument is not set to a measuring range for current. Proceed as follows to measure DC voltages “DC” (V 1. Turn the DMM on and select the measuring range “V ”...

Proceed as follows to measure DC currents “µA, mA, A” AC current is not supported by this DMM. Do not attempt to measure AC currents with this DMM. Insert the red measuring lead into the 10 A max socket (10) if you are not sure about the size of the current.
If you carry out a resistance measurement, make sure that the measuring points which you contact with the measuring prods are free from dirt, oil, solderable lacquer or similar. An incorrect measurement may result under such circumstances. d) Diode test Make sure that all the circuit parts, switches and components and other objects of measurement are disconnected from the voltage and discharged.
f) Non contact voltage test “NCV” Make sure that all measuring sockets are unoccupied. Please remove all measuring leads and adapters from the measuring device. This function only serves as aid. Prior to performing work on these cables, you have to perform contact measuring operations to check for the absence of voltage. 1.
BACK LIGHT FUNCTION (ONLY IN VC155) During any measurement, press the BACK LIGHT button (12) to turn on the back light on the display (4). Press it again to turn it off. TORCH FUNCTION (ONLY IN VC155) During any measurement, press the torch button (11) to turn on the torch light (3). Press it again to turn if off.
c) Fuse replacement (only for VC155) Using mended fuses or bridging the fuse holder is not admissible for safety reasons. Never operate the measurement device when it is open. RISK OF FATAL INJURY! The currency measuring ranges are protected against overload with ceramic fine-wire fuses. If measuring in this range is no longer possible, you have to change the fuse.
If you have queries about handling the measuring device, our technical support is available under the following telephone number: Voltcraft®, 92242 Hirschau, Lindenweg 15, phone 0180 / 586 582 7 In purchasing the DMM, you have acquired a product which has been designed to the state of the art and is operationally reliable.
DISPOSAL a) Product Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations. Remove any inserted (rechargeable) batteries and dispose of them separately from the product.
