1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing PANCONTROL. Since 1986, the PANCONTROL brand has
stood for practical, innovative and professional measuring instruments. We hope you
enjoy using your new product and we are convinced that it will serve you well for
many years to come.
Please read this operating manual carefully before using the device to become
familiar with the proper handling of the device and to prevent faulty operations.
Please follow all the safety instructions. Nonobservance cannot only result in damages
to the device but in the worst case can also be harmful to health.
The PAN 185 is a universal measuring instrument with many additional functions. In
addition to the basic electrical variables (V, A, Hz, Ω and F), you can measure and store
temperature, noise level and illuminance. In addition to the date and time, you also
have the ambient temperature and humidity in the display. The PAN 185 is therefore
the ideal device for the demanding technician.

is set to measure current, resistance or test diodes. This can damage the device.
•
If the battery symbol appears in the display, replace the battery immediately.
•
Always switch off the appliance and remove the test leads from all voltage
sources before opening the device to exchange the battery or the fuse.
