Page 8: Safety Information
Before operating the device, you must read, understand, and follow all in- structions, dangers, warnings, cautions, and notes. Note FLIR Systems reserves the right to discontinue models, parts or accessories, and other items, or to change specifications at any time without prior notice. Note Remove the batteries if the device is not used for an extended period of time. - Page 9 2 Safety information WARNING Do not measure the current on a circuit when the voltage increases to more than 600 V. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons. WARNING You must disconnect the test leads from the circuit that you did a test on be- fore you change the range.
- Page 10 2 Safety information WARNING Be careful when you do the measurements if the voltages are more than 25 VAC rms or 35 VDC. There is a risk of shock from these voltages. Injury to per- sons can occur. WARNING Do not do diode, resistance or continuity tests before you have removed the power from capacitors and other devices under test during a measurement.

5 Operation To enter Manual range mode, press the button. To change the range, press the button repeatedly until the desired range is displayed. To return to Auto range mode, press and hold the button until the indi- cator is displayed. 5.3 Current measurements When measuring current using the clamp jaws, only one conductor should be en- closed by the jaws—refer to Figure 5.1. -
Page 21: Voltage Measurements
5 Operation Note The meter can also be set to display peak values only, see section 5.13 Peak hold, page 20. 5.3.1 DC Zero The DC Zero feature removes offset values and improves the accuracy of DC current measurements. Set the function switch to the position. -
Page 22: Resistance Measurements
5 Operation 5.5 Resistance measurements WARNING Do not do diode, resistance or continuity tests before you have removed the power from capacitors and other devices under test during a measurement. Injury to persons can occur. Set the function switch to the position. -
Page 23: Frequency Measurements
5 Operation Note For very large capacitance values, it may take several minutes for the meas- urement to settle and the final reading to stabilize. 5.7 Frequency measurements Set the function switch to the position. Insert the black probe lead into the negative COM terminal and the red probe lead into the positive V terminal. -
Page 24: Diode Test
5 Operation Insert the black probe lead into the negative COM terminal and the red probe lead into the positive Ω terminal. Use the button to select continuity measurement. The indicator should be displayed. Touch the tips of the probe across the circuit or component under test. If the resistance is less than 30 Ω, the meter beeps continuously. - Page 25 5 Operation from the target, the diameter (spot) of the object under test must be at least 1 inch (2.54 cm). Refer to Figure 5.2. Figure 5.2 IR spot-to-distance ratio IR measurement notes: • The object under test should be larger than the size of the laser beam spot. •...
