DVM 890L LCD Standard Digital Multimeter 1. Introduction This instrument is a compact, rugged, battery-operated hand-held 3 1/2 digit digital multimeter for measuring DC and AC voltages, DC and AC current and resistance. It also offers the possibility of executing continuity tests and of testing diodes and transistors. You can also measure capacitance and temperatures.
2.1 Function and range selector Various functions and 32 ranges are provided. A rotary switch is used to select functions as well as ranges. 2.2 Power switch A push-button is used to turn the meter on or off. To extend battery life, an Auto Power-Off function is provided. The meter will be turned off automatically within approx.
3. Operating instructions 1) Check the 9V battery by setting the ON-OFF switch to the ON position. If the battery is weak, a " " sign will appear on the display. If this sign does not appear on the display, proceed as mentioned below. Read MAINTENANCE if the battery has to be replaced.
3.3 DC Current measurement 1) Connect the black test lead (-) to the COM input connector and the red test lead (+) to the mA input connector or a maximum of 200mA. Move the red test lead to the 20A MAX input connector for a maximum of 20A.
Note : 1) The overrange indication ("1") will be displayed if the resistance value being measured exceeds the maximum value of the selected range. Consequently, you should select a higher range. It may take the meter a few seconds to become stable when measuring a resistance of approximately 1 MΩ...
3.7 Diode measurement and Continuity test 1) Connect the black lead (-) to the COM input connector and the red lead (+) to the V/Ω/f input connector. 2) Set the FUNCTION switch to the range and connect the test leads to the diode under measurement.
4. Specifications Maximum accuracy is achieved during a one-year period after calibration. Ideal circumstances require a temperature of 23°C (± 5°C) and a relative humidity under 75%. 4.1 General Maximum display 1999 counts (3 1/2 digits) with automatic polarity indication and eng. unit. Indication method LCD display Measuring method...
