Summary of Contents for Extech Instruments EX520A

  • Page 1 Quick Start True RMS Industrial Multimeter MODEL EX520A...
  • Page 2 Quick Start (EN) INTRODUCTION The Extech EX520A measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Re- sistance/Continuity, Capacitance, Frequency/Duty Cycle, Diode, and Temperature. Additional measurement features include a low impedance (LoZ) voltage mode and a low pass filter (LPF) mode. This meter features a water-proof, rugged design intended for in- dustrial use.

  • Page 6 Maximum and Minimum Readings Press the MAX/MIN button to toggle the maximum and minimum reading displays. The MAX and MIN display icons show the se- lected mode. Long press the MAX/MIN button to exit. Relative (REL) Mode The Relative feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored reference.
  • Page 7 MEASURING VOLTAGE, FREQUENCY, RESISTANCE, DIODE, CAPACITANCE Voltage, frequency, resistance, diode, and capacitance measure- ments are made with the test leads placed ‘across’ the device or circuit under test (in parallel). WARNING Risk of electrocution. High-voltage AC and DC circuits are extremely danger- ous and should be measured with great care.
  • Page 8: Measuring Current

    MEASURING CURRENT Current measurements are made with the test leads placed in ser- ies with the circuit under test. WARNING Do not make 10 A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. 1. Rotate the function switch to the desired current function. Use the MODE button to select AC or DC.
