Voltage measurement may only be performed with the Warning concerning a source of danger selector switch set to the V= or the V~ position. (attention: observe documentation) • Be prepared for the occurrence of unexpected voltages at devices under test (e.g. defective devices). For Earth terminal example, capacitors may be dangerously charged.
Initial Start-Up The instrument is automatically switched to: (6039 digits + 1 digit) – The next highest range at typically Battery (560 digits – 1 digit) – The next lowest range at typically Your instrument is supplied with two 1,5 V AA size batteries in accordance with IEC LR 6, and is ready for operation.
3.4 Relative Measurement REL Display Illumination After the instrument has been switched on, background A reference value for relative measurements can be stored to illumination can be activated by briefly pressing the memory with the keys MAN / AUTO and HOLD. ON / OFF LIGHT key.
Voltage Measurement ➭ Depending upon the voltage to be measured, set the rotary selector switch to V or V 20.00 ➭ Connect the measurement cables as shown. The “” TRMS connector jack should be grounded. Note! The 600 mV measuring range can only be selected 600 mV* ...
Current Measurement ➭ First disconnect supply power from the measuring circuit or the consuming device, and discharge any included 0.000 capacitors..6 A AC ~ ➭ Select the A range with the rotary selector switch for TRMS current greater than 600 mA, or the mA range for current less than 600 mA.
