Safety

International Safety Symbols

This symbol, adjacent to another symbol or terminal, indicates the user must refer to the manual for further information.
This symbol, adjacent to a terminal, indicates that, under normal use, hazardous voltages may be present
Double insulation

SAFETY NOTES

Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function.
Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.
Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use
Remove the battery if meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.

WARNINGS

Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.
When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes
Do not measure current on a circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V
When changing ranges always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function.

CAUTIONS

Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual before operating the meter.
Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.
Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.
Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not “live”.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Operation

NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.

Measurements

1. For AC DC Voltage – Frequency, Duty Cycle – EVSE-CP/ Hz – Resistance – Continuity – diode, and capacity measurement.
Insert the red test lead to the red + ” VΩHz%.. terminal, and the black to the black – ”COM” terminal. Connect the test leads, with good contact, in parallel to the circuit under test.

Measure settings| Measuring of| Func. switch| *Mode| Display
| 1a| DC- Voltage ±| | 0| DC V or m V
1b| AC- Voltage| | 0| AC V
Frequency| | 1| Hz
Duty Cycle| | 2| %
| Resistance| CAP| 0| Ω or MΩ or KΩ
1a. Notices the polarity when measuring DC., red to + and black to Com.
| 1c| Continuity| CAP| 1| Ω and
1c. Notices for Continuity tests, if the resistance is < 50Ω, a tone will sound
| 1d| Diode| CAP| 2| and V
1d. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V.
Reverse polarity will indicate “ OL ”. The diode is OK Shorted diode will indicate near 0 mV and an open diode will indicate “ OL ” in both polarities.

4. Insert the red test lead from the external clamp to the red + ” VΩHz%.. terminal, and the black test lead to the black – ”COM” terminal.
Open the clamp on the flexible ElmaFlex 430 with the turn knob** , place the flex coil around a single phase and close the clamp completely again. Place the single phase in the middle of the flex coil for best results and read the current directly in the display.

Hold/ Back light

Hold Press the Hold/Backlight key, to “freeze” the measured value on the display, press the key again to cancel the freeze function. While Hold is active the display shows the symbol .

Backlight The LCD display is equipped with backlight for easier viewing in low-lighted areas. A long press at the Hold/Backlight key, will activate the backlight, a long press again will, turn off the backlight.

MAX/MIN RANGE

When performing measurements in normal AC / DC current and voltage functions, the MAX/MIN mode can be activated, which means that, in addition to the normal measurement results, you can also “save” the highest and lowest results, within the measurement period. Can’t be used for: External clamp, Resistance, Review, Diode, Capacity, Frequency, and Duty Cycle.

The first short press at the MAX/MIN/RANGE button activates the MAX/MIN function. The icon “MAX” will appear. The meter will display and “freeze” the maximum reading value and will update only when a higher value occurs.
Press again the MAX/MIN/RANGE button, the display icon “MIN” will appear. The meter will display and “freeze” the minimum reading value and will update only when a lower value occurs.
To exit MAX/MIN mode press and hold the MAX/MIN/RANGE button for 1 seconds.
Manuel range the first long press (1 sec.) at the MAX/MIN/RANGE key, will change the default, auto range measuring mode to manual range mode. AUTO disappears in the display. When entering the manual range mode, continue to press the button until the correct range is set.

Bluetooth/ Flash light

Flashlight. Short press the Bluetooth/ Flashlight button, will turn on or off the flashlight Bluetooth A long press at the Bluetooth/ Flashlight button will activate the Bluetooth data transmission function, thus allowing for the free Elma Link APP, as you can download at the App Store or Google play, for control of the instrument in a safe distance with your smart device, as well as save and transferring documentation or share measurements to the task you are doing. A long press again at the Bluetooth/ Flashlight button will turn off the Bluetooth function.

Automatic Power OFF (APO)

In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes. To turn the meter on again press a random button or turn the function switch to the OFF position and then to the desired function position.

Turn off the Auto Power OFF function, press and hold the Mode button while turning on the instrument. The Mode button must be held down, until Elma 6100EVSE is fully started.
The Auto Power OFF symbol disappear from the display.

Maintenance

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads from the input terminals, and turn OFF the meter before opening the case for change of battery or fuses. Do not operate the meter with an open case.

Cleaning and Storage

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. If the meter is stored away for 60 days or more, remove the battery and store it separately.
