5.1. Description
1. LCD display with function indicators
The 3 ¾ digit LCD display is used for digital measurement display with
automatic polarity selection and comma placement. The maximum
display is 3999. The bar graph is a trend indicator, showing how far the
measured value is in the current measurement range. The function
symbols are chosen automatically depending on range. When
exceeding the measurement range, the overflow indication “OL”
appears. The battery should be replaced promptly when a battery
symbol appears in the left upper corner of the display.
2. Range Key
The Range button is for manual range selection. The unit has an auto-
ranging, but it can sometimes be useful to select the measurement
range manually. This increases the response time considerably, since
the search for the best measurement range is omitted. Exceeding the
measuring range is displayed indicating an overflow symbol ”OL”.
3. MIN / MAX Key
The Min / Max key is used to activate the minimum or maximum value
holding function. Press the button once to hold only the highest reading
in the display. If this value falls, still the highest indication remains on the
display. Press it again to keep the smallest reading in the display. If this
reading increases during the measurement again, still the minimum
value remains in the display.
4. Select Key
The Select key is used to switch the different modes. Press this key in
the current and voltage ranges to switch between AC and DC voltage.
Press this key also to switch between diode and continuity test and the
temperature range in °C or °F.
5. Rotary Seletor
This function selector switch is used to switch between the different
measurement functions. To select the desired measurement function,
turn the switch to the appropriate position.
