Note :
1. BLUE KEY switch and RANGE Switch resets all special modes other than ∿ HZ
mode .
2. ∿ HZ switch is only used to toggle between frequency measurement mode
and voltage or current measurement mode, and thus can not be nested in any
other special modes.
3. The bar graph always shows the current value, regardless of special
mode.
-
Light switch — Press the switch to turn on or turn off the back-light.
-
8. ∿ HZ — If “ ∿ HZ” switch is pushed in voltage or current measurement mode, the meter enters frequency counter mode with automatic range selection. Therefore, pressing “RANGE” switch in HZ mode does not change the frequency range.
However, “RANGE” switch changes the sensitivity of frequency detection. If the input signal has a small amplitude, the user shall increase the sensitivity.
Note : Since HZ mode is treated as a temporary frequency measurement in voltage or current mode, pressing
“RANGE” switch in HZ mode also changes the full scale range of the original voltage or current mode after VAHZ mode is cancelled. -
PEAK
H— The precision of PEAK hold mode measurement can be enhanced by calibration. Calibration for PEAK hold mode is invoked by pressing “PEAK**H**” switch for more than 2 seconds until the “caL” is displayed. Pressing the “ Peak**H**” switch to toggle between PMAX and PMIN. Pressing “Peak H ” switch and held for longer than one second to release the peak hold mode. -
. Range Switch, (Manual Range) — “Range” switch is pressed to select manual ranging and to change ranges. When “Range” switch is pressed on “RANGE” annunciator on the LCD appears.
Press “RANGE” switch to select appropriate range to be used.
Press “RANGE” switch and hold for 2 seconds to return to Autoranging. In “ ∿ HZ” mode “RANGE” is not used to change the full scale frequency range, but change the sensitivity of frequency measurement. -
Blue Switch — Press the switch to measure AC Voltage / Current or DC Voltage / Current in the voltage / Current mode, or to measure Resistance or continuity or diode in mode or to measure Frequency or RPM in RPM in Hz / PRM mode.
-
MIN MAX — The meter displays the maximum or minimum value of the input in MAX / MIN mode. When “MIN MAX “ switch is pressed for the first time, the meter displays the maximum value. When “MIN MAX” switch is pressed again, the meter displays the minimum value.
When “MIN MAX” switch is pressed for the third time, the meter displays current input value and the “MAX” “MIN” annunciator are blink. The meter returns to normal
operation if “MIN MAX” switch is pressed and held for longer than one second. Pressing HOLD in MAX/MIN mode makes the meter stop updating the maximum or the minimum value. -
REL — In REL mode, the LCD panel displays D(current) – D(relative), where D(relative) is the last value before “REL ” switch is pressed, and D(current) is the current value. If “REL ” switch is pressed again in REL mode, the meter displays the reference value and the “REL” annunciator is blink. The meter returns to normal operation if “REL ” switch is pressed and held for longer than one second. Pressing “HOLD
H” switch in REL mode makes the meter stop updating the LCD panel. REL with MIN MAX — MAX / MIN mode can be nested in REL mode. The “MIN MAX’ meter displays the maximum or the minimum value relative to the reference when “MIN MAX” is pressed in REL mode. Before release the REL function, the MAX/MIN function is needed to release first. -
HOLD — HOLD mode makes the meter stop updating the LCD panel. This mode can be nested in most of the special modes. Enabling HOLD function in automatic mode makes the meter switch to manual mode, but the full scale range remains the same. HOLD function can be released by changing the measurement mode, pressing “RANGE” or “BLUE KEY” or push HOLD again. When HOLD mode is nested in Peak
Hor MIN / MAX or REL mode to release the Peak**H**or MIN / MAX or REL function is needed to release HOLD function first.
