Frequency and duty factor measurements.
-
Resistance measurement
-
Diode test
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
Components (7: Resistors, 8: Diodes , 9: Capacitors) can only be measured correctly in isolation. It may therefore be necessary to disconnect the components from the rest of the circuit.
To avoid incorrect results the measuring points must be free of dirt, oil, solder lacquer or similar.
The components must be off-circuit. -
Continuity test
A measured value of < 50 ohms is recognised as continuity; this is confirmed by an audible signal. If „O.L.“ appears on the display instead of a measured value, either exceeded or the measuring circuit is not closed or has been interrupted.
The components must be off-circuit. -
Contact temperature measurement
To measure contact temperature, connect the supplied temperature sensor (K-type) to the device. Ensure correct polarity.
-
Low Z voltage measurement
-
Auto 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. -
Activate/deactivate Digital Connection
Digital Connection is activated and deactivated by long-pressing button 11. -
REL function (comparison measurement)
The comparison measurement function takes a measurement relative to a previously saved reference value. 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. -
AC+DC function
The AC+DC function measures both the AC as well as the DC component to obtain the RMS.
-
MAX-/MIN-/AVG function
The MAX/MIN/AVG function shows the highest, lowest and average measured values. The measured values are updated each time a higher or lower measurement is recorded. To activate the function, briefly press the MAX/MIN/AVG button. „MAX“ appears together with the highest value on the LC display. By briefly pressing the MAX/MIN/AVG button, the device switches from MAX to MIN and from MIN to AVG. Keep the MAX/MIN/AVG button pressed to exit MAX/MIN/AVG function and return to normal operation. -
PEAK function (voltage peak function)
The PEAK function detects the highest positive and lowest negative peak in an AC voltage or AC current wave form. The measured values are updated each time a higher positive or lower negative PEAK is detected.
Briefly keep the PEAK button pressed to switch between Peak MAX
and Peak MIN. To return to normal operation, keep the PEAK button pressed
until Peak on the LC display disappears. -
