Making Basic Measurements

WARNING

  • When connecting the test leads to the DUT (Device Under Test), connect the common test lead before connecting the live lead.
  • When removing the test leads, remove the test live lead before removing the common test lead.
  • The following sections describe how to take measurements with the meter.

Measuring AC and DC Voltage

  • This meter have true rms readings, which are accurate for distorted sine waves and other waveforms (with no DC offset) such as square waves, triangle waves, and staircase waves.
  • The ranges of measuring voltage are 40mV, 400mV, 4V, 40V, 400V and 1000V. To select the mV range, turn the rotary switch to the mV position.
  • For best accuracy when measuring the DCmV, touch the probe tips together and read the DC offset. If necessary, you can use the relative (Δ) mode to automatically subtract this value.

Make dB measurement

  • The meter is capable of displaying voltage as a dB value, either relative to 1 milliwatt (dBm), or a reference voltage of 1 volt (dB).
  • A dBm measurement must use a reference impedance (600Ω) to calculate a dB value based on 1 milliwatt. A dB measurement uses a 1-volt reference voltage to compare the present measurement against. Define as below:
  • To use the dB or dBm function, turn the rotary switch to ACV or ACmV position.
  • Then move the blinking cursor of the menu to the dB or dBm position, and press the ENTER button to enter the function.
  • Press the CANCEL button to exit the function.

Measuring Voltage in LoZ Mode

  • Do not use the LoZ mode to measure voltages in circuits that could be damaged by this mode’s low impedance.
  • To eliminate ghost voltages, the meter’s LoZ mode presents a low impedance across the leads to obtain a more accurate measurement. The ranges of measuring LoZ voltage are 400V and 1000V.
  • In this mode, the meter will automatically measure the input signal which is AC or DC, and determine the range.
  • To use the LoZ mode, turn the rotary switch to the LoZ position.

Measuring AC and DC Current

WARNING

  • Always use proper terminals, switch positions, and range for measurements.
  • To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open circuit potential to earth is greater than 1000V.
  • Only replace the blown fuse with the proper rating as specified in this manual.
  • Replace the fuse as soon as the indicator (FUSE) appears.
  • To measure current, you must break the circuit under test, then place the meter in series with the circuit.
  • The ranges of measuring current are 40mA, 400mA, 4A and 10A. AC is displayed as an rms value. Insert the black lead into the COM terminal.
  • For currents less than 400 mA, insert the red lead into the mA terminal. For currents above 400 mA, insert the red lead into the A terminal.
  • You can press the function (yellow) button to select the current measurement function.

Measuring Frequency

  • The meter measures the frequency of a voltage or current signal by counting the number of times the signal crosses a threshold level each second.
  • This function only can be operated in AC voltage and current measurements. The ranges of measuring frequency are 400Hz, 4kHz, 40kHz and 100kHz.
  • If a reading shows as 0 Hz or is unstable, the input signal may be below or near the trigger level. The detail of the frequency trigger level refers to the electrical specifications.
  • To use the frequency function, press the function (yellow) button to select the measurement function.

Make High-Frequency Rejection Measurement

  • Do not use the High-Frequency Rejection (Low Pass Filter) option to verify the presence of hazardous voltages.
  • Voltages greater than what is indicated may be present. First, make a voltage measurement without the filter to detect the possible presence of hazardous voltage. Then select the filter function.
  • The High-Frequency Rejection mode equips a low pass filter in the AC measurements. The cut-off frequency (-3dB point) of the low pass filter is 800Hz.
  • To use the HFR mode, press the HFR button to equip a low pass filter in the AC measurements.

Make Peak-Hold Measurement

  • The Peak-Hold mode records wave peak maximum and minimum input values. The response time of Peak-Hold is 10us.
  • To use the Peak-Hold mode, press the P-HOLD button to enable the Peak-Hold mode in the AC or DC measurements. In this mode, press the P-HOLD button to select the peak MAX or MIN value. Press > 1 sec to disable the Peak-Hold mode.
  • For square waves, use the peak-hold mode in the DC measurements.

Make AC+DC Measurement

  • When the input signal is AC and DC combinations: AC over DC or DC over AC, the meter is capable of displaying one AC+DC (rms) value combined.

Define as below:

  • To use the AC+DC function, turn the rotary switch stop in DCV, DCmV, or A position, then press the function (yellow) button to select the measurement function.

Measuring Resistance

  • To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance.
  • The ranges of measuring resistance are 400Ω, 4kΩ, 40kΩ, 400kΩ, 4MΩ, and 40MΩ.
  • The test leads may be added 0.1Ω to 0.2Ω of the error to resistance measurements. To test the leads, touch the probe tips together and read the resistance of the leads.
  • For best accuracy, you can use the relative (Δ) mode to automatically subtract this value.
  • High-resistance (>10MΩ) readings are susceptible to electrical noise. To smooth out most noisy readings, enter the MAX/MIN recording mode; then step to the average (AVG) reading.

Continuity Check

CAUTION

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before testing continuity.Sefram-BK390B-Digital-Multimeter-
FIG-12

  • The continuity check features a buzzer that sounds as long as a circuit is complete. The buzzer allows you to do quick continuity checks without watching the display.
  • When measuring resistance is less than the threshold, the buzzer sounds. You can set up the threshold in setup mode.
  • The continuity threshold is default 30Ω.
  • To use continuity check, turn the rotary switch to the resistance position, then press the function (yellow) button to select measuring mode.

Testing Diodes

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes.

  • Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices.
  • This function tests a semiconductor junction by sending a current through the junction and then measuring the junction’s voltage drop. A good silicon junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V.
  • For forward-bias readings on any semiconductor component, place the red test lead on the component’s positive terminal and place the black lead on the component’s negative terminal.
  • In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward-bias reading of 0.5V to 0.8V.
  • For reverse-bias readings on any semiconductor component, the meter still can be measured. In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a reverse bias reading of -0.5V to -0.8V.
  • The display shows “OL” if the diode is open or short.
  • To use the diode test, turn the rotary switch to the resistance position, then press the function (yellow) button to select the measuring mode.

Measuring Capacitance

  • To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high- voltage capacitors before measuring capacitance.
  • Use the dc voltage function to confirm that the capacitor is discharged.
  • The ranges of measuring capacitance are 40nF, 400nF, 4uF, 40uF, 400uF, 4mF and 40mF.
  • To improve the accuracy of measurements less than 1000nF, you can use the relative (Δ) mode to subtract the residual capacitance of the leads.
  • To use capacitance measurement, turn the rotary switch to the resistance position, then press the function (yellow) button to select the measuring mode.

Measuring Temperature

  • The meter measures the temperature of a K-type thermocouple. You can press the function (yellow) button to choose degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
  • Display ranges are -200°C to +1200°C and -328°F to +2192°F. Readings outside of these ranges show “OL” on the display. When there is no thermocouple connected, the display also shows “OL”.
  • To use temperature measurement, turn the rotary switch to the temperature position, then press the function (yellow) button to select the measuring mode.

Auto-Hold

  • When measuring, you can press the A-HOLD button to start the Auto-Hold mode. In this mode, the meter holds the reading and shows it on the secondary display.
  • If the difference between the new reading and the hold reading is bigger than 5d (3¾-digit mode), and the new reading is also stable, then the meter automatically holds a new reading on the secondary display.
  • When the reading is smaller than the Auto-Hold limit, or the reading is OL, the Auto-Hold mode is not working.

Others No limit
  • To exit Auto-Hold mode, press the A-HOLD button again. If you don’t want to use the Auto-Hold mode, you can disable it in the setup mode.
  • When Auto-Hold mode is disabled, the hold mode does not update any new reading.

Maximum / Minimum Record

  • When measuring, you can record the maximum, minimum, and average values of reading.
  • To use maximum/minimum record mode, move the blink cursor of the menu to MAX, MIN or AVG position, and press the ENTER button to enter mode. In this mode, the meter records each data to compare the maximum and minimum values. Also, the meter calculates the average reading.
  • You can move the blink cursor of the menu to MAX, MIN, or AVG position, and press the ENTER button to select the result on the secondary display.
  • When maximum/minimum record mode running, if you want to pause recording, press the A-HOLD button. Press again to continue.
  • To exit maximum/minimum record mode, press the CANCEL button.

Relative

  • When measuring, you can use the relative (Δ) mode to subtract the offset.
  • To use relative (Δ) mode, move the blink cursor of the menu to Δ position, and press the ENTER button to enter mode. In this mode, the meter records the presently reading as a reference and shows it on the secondary display.
  • The relative (Δ) mode subtracts reference from each reading and shows the result on the main display.
  • In relative (Δ) mode, the minimum range is the relative (Δ) range.
  • For example: The ranges of measuring resistance are 400Ω, 4kΩ, 40kΩ, 400kΩ, 4MΩ, and 40MΩ. If you use the relative (Δ) the mode in the 4kΩ range, then the minimum range is the 4kΩ range.
  • You can use a range is 4kΩ to 40MΩ, but cannot change to 400Ω.
  • To exit relative (Δ) mode, press the CANCEL button.

Relative %

  • When measuring, you can use the relative (%) mode to calculate the relative percent value. The relative percent value is defined as below: Relative % = [(Reading – Ref) ÷ Ref] × 100.0%+
  • To use relative (%) mode, move the blink cursor of the menu to the % position, and press the ENTER button to enter mode.
  • In this mode, the meter records the presently reading as a reference and shows it on the secondary display. The relative (%) mode calculates the relative percent value from each reading and shows the result on the main display.
  • To exit relative (%) mode, press the CANCEL button.
