Measuring

Do not exceed the permitted max. input values. Never touch circuits or parts of circuits with a pos-sible voltage of more than 33 V/ACrms or 70 V/DC! Danger to life!
Before measuring, check the connected measuring lines for damage such as cuts, cracks or pinch-es. Defective measuring lines must no longer be used! Danger to life!
When measuring, only touch within the tangible grip markings on the test prods.
Measuring is only permitted with the housing and the battery compartment closed.
During insulation tests, dangerous voltages can be present at the test prods. A lightning symbol on the display warns of such voltages. The insulation may only be tested on currentless components or devices.
As soon as “OL” (overload) appears on the display, you have exceeded the measuring range.
a) Switching on the measuring device
The measuring device is switched on using the rotary switch (5). Turn the rotary switch to select the desired measuring function. Tum the rotary switch to “OFF” to switch off the measuring device. Always switch off the measuring device when it is not in use (“OFF” position).
Before the measuring device can be used, the enclosed batteries have to be inserted. See chap- ter “Cleaning and maintenance” for information on inserting and replacing the batteries.

b) Voltage measurement “V”
Proceed as follows to measure DC voltages “V/DC”:
– Switch on the measuring device and select measuring range “1000 V=”.
– Plug the red measuring line into the “V” measuring socket (10) and the black measuring line into the COM measuring socket (11).
– Now connect the two test prods with the test object (battery, switch etc.). The red test prod is the positive terminal, the black test prod is the negative terminal.
– The polarity of the measured value is displayed with the measured value.

If a minus “-” appears for direct voltage in front of the measured value, the measured voltage is negative (or the measuring lines have been mixed up).
– After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the test object and switch off the measuring device.
Proceed as follows to measure AC voltages “V/AC”:
– Switch on the measuring device and select measuring range “750 V~’.
– Plug the red measuring line into the “V” measuring socket (10) and the black measuring line into the COM measuring socket (11).
– Connect the two test prods with the test object (generator, switch etc.).
– The measured value is shown on the main display. The small display at the bot-tom right shows the current battery voltage in the measuring device.
– After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the test object and switch off the measuring device.

c) Resistance measurement “Ω”

Make sure that all circuit parts, circuits, components and any other test objects are currentless and discharged.
The measuring device allows measuring resistances in the low-resistance measuring range from 0.01 to 400 Ω. For accurate results, resistance is measured with a test current of approx. 200 mA.
Proceed as follows to measure resistances:
– Switch on the measuring device and select measuring range “400 0”.
– Plug the red measuring line into the 0-measuring socket (10) and the black meas-uring line into the COM measuring socket (11).
– Check the measuring lines for continuity by connecting both test prods with one another. The resistance value must be approximately 0 – 0.5 ohms (inherent re- sistance of the measuring lines) along with a beep.
– Connect the test prods with the test object. The measured value is displayed as long as the test object is not a high-resistance object or interrupted. Wait until the display has stabilised.
– IF “OL” (overload) is displayed, you have exceeded the measuring range or the measuring circuit is broken.
– After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the test object and switch off the measuring device.
If no measurement can be carried out or if the continuity check fails (zero display), check the built-in fuse. Fuse replacement is described in chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.
If you carry out a resistance measurement, make sure that the measuring points where you connect the test prods are free from dirt, oil, solderable lacquer or the like. Faulty measurements may result under such circumstances.
For low-voltage measurement, the resistance of the measuring lines is included in the measuring result. Measuring line resistance is approx. 0.5 Q. The equivalent circuit diagram is illustrated on the right. Resistances “R E1″ and “R E2″ represent the measuring lines. “R” represents the test object. All three resistances contribute to the measured value. In order to exclude measuring line resistance from the result, activate the ZERO function.

d) Continuity check
Make sure that all circuit parts, circuits, components and any other test objects are currentless and discharged.
– Switch on the measuring device and select measuring range
– Carry out the measurement as described for resistance measurement. A measured value of less than 35 ohms is
identified as continuity and accompanied by a beep. The continuity check symbol is displayed.
– After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the test object and switch off the measuring device.

e) Insulation test with auxiliary supply
Make sure that all circuit parts, circuits, components and any other test objects are currentless and discharged. If the measuring device recognises a voltage of 230 V/DC or 230 VIAC in the measur- ing circuit, no insulation test is possible. Always measure the voltage (AC + DC) before testing the insulation.
During insulation tests, dangerous voltages can be present at the test prods. A lightning symbol  on the display warns of such voltages. The voltage is also present in all connected circuits and conductors. Do not touch any circuits or components when measuring the insulation.
Only touch within the tangible grip markings on the test prods or the insulated alligator clip.
The insulation test allows measuring the insulation resistance of safety- related protective measures with an adjustable auxiliary supply. Faulty or insufficient insulation can be detected. The required insulation resistances can be gathered from the respective standards.
– Switch on the measuring device and select the “4000 MΩ” measuring range and the corresponding auxiliary supply.
– Plug the red measuring line into the “V” measuring socket (10) and the black measuring line into the COM measuring socket (11). You can use the provided (rey alligator clip to carry out a one-hand measurement.

– The display shows the unit “MΩ”.
– Connect the two test prods (red = positive/black = negative) with the test object.  The measuring line with the alligator clip makes handling easier during measure-ments.
When measuring, a beep along with a flashing lightning symbol warns of test voltage present in the measuring lines.
If a voltage of more than 30 V (AC/DC) has been detected, no test is carried out and “>30 V” is displayed along with the voltage type (AC or DC). This is indicated by a warning sound. Stop meas- uring immediately and disconnect the measuring circuit, any components and the device from the power supply.
– For a single measurement, hold down the TEST button (4) for the duration of the measurement. After a short while, the insulation resistance is displayed along with the current auxiliary test voltage. Wait until the main display has stabilised. This may take several seconds. Let go of the TEST button to stop measuring. The last measured result
is recorded (“HOLD” displayed) and the measuring circuit is discharged.
– For permanent measurement, press the LOCK button (2). The display shows “LOCK” and the lock symbol. Press the TEST button (4) shortly to start the insulation test. Permanent measuring mode is active for about 10 minutes.
Then the measuring device turns off automatically. If you want to end the measurement before that time, press the TEST button. The last measured result is recorded (“HOLD” displayed) and the measuring circuit is discharged.
– IF “OL” (overload) appears on the display, you have exceeded the measuring range or the measuring circuit is highly resistive.
– After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the test object and switch off the measuring device.

f) HOLD function
The HOLD function locks the displayed value to allow you to read it comfortably or log it.
If you test live conductors, make sure that this function is deactivated when you start measuring.
Otherwise, a false measuring result is shown!
To activate the HOLD function, press the “HOLD” button (3). An audio signal confirms the activation and “HOLD” appears on the display.
To deactivate the HOLD function, press the “HOLD” button again or switch to another measuring function.
g) ZERO function
The ZERO function is only active in the 400 O, 1000 V/DC and 750 V/AC measuring ranges.
The ZERO function allows zero adjustment of the display or a fast relative measurement, e.g. to display component tolerances. The reference value is measured and saved in the internal memory and then automatically deducted from subsequent measurements. This allows the easy display of deviations from the reference values.
– Connect the test object as described for resistance measurement or voltage measurement. Wait until the measured value has stabilised.
– Press the “ZERO” button (6) shortly while measuring. “ZERO” appears on the display and the display is reset to zero. The reference value is saved.
– Continue with the differential measurements on the other test objects.
– Press the ZERO button again to deactivate the function.
After changing the measuring range or the measuring function, the ZERO memory is deleted.

h) MAX/MIN function
This function shows the measured max. and min. values on the display. The MAX/MIN function can only be used in the 400 Ω, 1000 V/DC and 750 V/AC measuring ranges.
– Hold down the MAX/MIN button for about 1 second during the measurement. The display shows “MAX” along with the highest value.
– Press the “MIN/MAX” button again to switch to “MIN”. The lowest value is displayed.
– Pressing the button switches the display.
– To abort this function, hold down the “MAX/MIN” button for about 1s until “MAX” or “MIN” is blanked accompanied by a beep.

i) Auto power-off function
The measuring device turns off automatically after 10 minutes if no button or rotary switch is operated. This function saves battery power and extends the service life.
To reactivate the measuring device after automatic power-off, use the rotary switch or press any function key on the measuring device.

j) Switching on the backlight
The display can be illuminated in bad lighting conditions. To switch on the backlight, hold down the light button (6) for about 2 seconds. The light will remain on for about 220 seconds and switches off automatically to save the batteries.
The lighting can be manually re-enabled by pressing the light button (6). Press and hold the light button (6) for active illumination 2s, the display light switches off manually.

Cleaning and maintenance
