Frequenz, Widerstand, Kapazität, Tastverhältnis, Diodenprüfung, Durchgangsprüfung| 1000V DC/AC

AUTO OFF function
In order to preserve the batteries, the meter switches off automatically if it is left idle for 15 minutes.

Insert battery

Open the battery compartment on the housing‘s rear side and insert a 9 V battery. Correct polarity must be observed.

Attaching the test prods

In order to avoid the risk of injury, the test prods must always be kept in the holder on the rear of the meter when not in use and during transport.

Connection of test prods

The black test prod (–) must always be connected to the „COM socket“. When taking current measurements, the red test prod (+) must be connected to the „10 A socket“. For all other measuring functions, the red test prod must be connected to the „VΩHZ socket“.
CAUTION:  Please ensure that the test prods are connected correctly before each measurement. Taking a voltage measurement with 10 A current connections plugged in can cause the installed fuse to trip and result in damage to the measuring circuit.

Current measurement DC/AC

To take a current measurement, turn the rotary switch to position „10 A“ and press the „Mode“ button to set the voltage mode (AC, DC). Disconnect the circuit before connecting the meter. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested.  The measured value acquired and the polarity appear on the display. Disconnect the circuit again before disconnecting the meter.

CAUTION: Do not measure currents above 10 A for longer than 30 seconds. This could damage the device or the test prods.

Voltage measurement DC/AC

To take a voltage measurement, turn the rotary switch to position „V“ and press the „Mode“ button to set the voltage mode (AC, DC). Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. The measured value acquired and the polarity appears on the display.

Resistance measurement

To measure the resistance, turn the rotary switch to position „Ω“. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. The measured value acquired appears on the display. If „O.L.“ appears on the display instead of a measured value, either the measuring range has been exceeded or the measuring circuit is not closed or has been interrupted. Resistances can only be measured correctly in isolation; therefore, the components might need to be disconnected from the remainder of the circuit.

CAUTION: When measuring resistance, to avoid the risk of the results of a measurement being distorted, there must be no traces of dirt, oil, solder spray or other contamination on the test prods.

Continuity test

To test continuity, turn the rotary switch black to position „Ω“ and press the „Mode“ switch twice to activate the „Continuity test“ function. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. A measured value of < 150 ohms is recognized as continuity; this is confirmed by an audible signal. If „O.L.“ appears on the display instead of a measured value, either the measuring range has been exceeded or the measuring circuit is not closed or has been interrupted. 

Diode test

To test the diode, turn the rotary switch to position „Ω“ and press the „Mode“ button once to activate the „Diode test“ function. Then connect the measuring contacts to the diode. The measured value acquired for the forward voltage appears on the display. If „O.L.“ appears on the display instead of a measured value, the diode has either been tested in the reverse direction or is faulty. If 0.0 V is measured, the diode is faulty or a short-circuit has occurred.

Capacitance measurement

To take a capacitance measurement, turn the rotary switch to position „CAP“ and press the „Mode“ button three times to activate the „Capacitance measurement“ function. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. In the case of poled capacitors, connect the positive pole to the red test prod.

Frequency and duty factor measurements

To take a frequency measurement, turn the rotary switch to position „Hz“. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. Press the „Mode“ button to switch from Hz to % (duty factor). 

Auto range/Manual range

The „Auto range“ function is activated automatically when the meter is switched on. Auto range searches for the best possible range for each measurement in the corresponding measuring functions. Press the „Range“ button to activate manual range selection, then press the „RANGE“ button several times until you reach the desired range. Pay attention to changes in decimal places or units. To return to the „Auto range“ range, press the „RANGE“ button and hold it down for 2 seconds. „AUTO“ reappears on the display. The „Range“ function can only be used for voltage, current and resistance measurements.

Comparative measurement

The comparative measurement function takes a measurement relative to a reference value that has been saved previously. This enables the difference between the current measured value and the saved reference value to be displayed. Press the „REL“ button whilst a reference measurement is being taken in the corresponding measuring function. The display now shows the difference between the current measurement and the set reference value. Press the „REL“ button again to deactivate the function. The „Rel“ function can only be used for voltage, current and capacitance measurements, as well as continuity tests.

Hold function

The „Hold“ function enables you to keep the current measured value on the display. Press the „HOLD“ button to activate and deactivate the function.

LCD-Backlight

Voltage detection, non-contact (AC warning)

The non-contact voltage detector integrated in the meter is able to detect AC voltages from 100 V to 600 V, thus enabling live cables or cable breaks, for example, to be identified. Turn the rotary switch to position „V“ and run the voltage sensor along the object to be tested (5 – 10 mm). The display lights up and the device starts to vibrate if AC voltage is detected.

CAUTION: Non-contact voltage detection is no substitute for conventional voltage testing. As the device detects an electrical field, it will react even to static charge.

Voltage detection, single-pole phase test

For reasons of safety, you must disconnect the black measuring lead from the COM socket on the device to take this measurement. Turn the rotary switch to position „V“. Connect the red test prod to the phase or neutral conductor. The red LED only lights up if the phase conductor is live. When the single-pole phase test is carried out on the outer conductor, the indicator function may be adversely affected under certain conditions (e.g. when insulating personnel protective equipment is used or at insulated locations).
CAUTION: The single-pole phase test is not suitable for checking for zero voltage. To do this, you need to carry out a two-pole phase test.

Replacing the fuse

To replace the fuse, first disconnect the test prods from their voltage source and then from the device. Remove all screws from the rear of the meter and then remove the battery. Open the housing and replace the fuse with one of the same type and specification (10 A /600 V). Close the housing and carefully screw the meter back together.

Calibration

The meter needs to be calibrated and tested on a regular basis to ensure it produces accurate measurement results. We recommend carrying out calibration once a year.
