English Warranty The warranty period shall be one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover fuses, disposable batteries, damage from neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling, including failures caused by use outside of the product’s specifications, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and is not transferable.
Safety Standard - IEC/EN61010-2 lncluded with the Meter iDVM 510 Test leads Battery - not covered by warranty Thermocouple Magnetic Hanging Strap Meter Measurements AC & DC voltage & current Resistance Frequency Capacitance Diode Continuity Warning “Warning” and “Caution” Statements A “Warning” identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.
Warning - Read before using the Meter Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired. English Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced. Always use the proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements. Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage.
Instrument Power ON & Setup The iDVM 510 is a high resolution professional grade multimeter capable of operating autonomously. Much of the remainder of the manual is dedicated to describing the use of the multimeter in an autonomous fashion. The meter can log data with or without being connected to the mobile device. Depress and hold the REC/Bluetooth button and the meter will begin logging data to internal memory.

Making Basic Measurements English The figures on the following pages show how to make basic measurements. When connecting the test leads to the circuit or device, connect the common (COM) test lead before connecting the live lead; when removing the test leads, remove the live lead before removing the common test lead.
Te s t i n g a n d M e a s u r i n g Warning To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the Meter, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance.

Measuring AC or DC Current Current measurement ≤ 600 µA Start with open circuit Break the circuit English Warning To avoid personal injury or damage to the Meter: Never attempt to make an in-circuit current measurement when the open-circuit potential to earth is >1000 V. Use the proper terminals, switch position, and range for your measurement. use symbol Never place the probes in parallel with a circuit or component when the leads are plugged into the current terminals.

Understanding AC Zero Input Behavior of True RMS Meters Cleaning Wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings. English Unlike averaging meters, which can accurately measure only pure sinewaves, True RMS meters accurately measure distorted waveforms. True RMS converters require a certain level of input voltage to make a measurement.
English F u s e a n d Te s t P r o b e R e p l a c e m e n t WARNING Fuses are to be replaced by trained service personnel. Fuses are not intended to be replaced by untrained end-users. Return the iDVM to the factory if needed. WARNING Fuse replacement by untrained personnel may result in damage to the iDVM or personal injury. WARNING Never replace fuses while the iDVM is under load.
General Specifications Product Features Accuracy is specified for 1 year after calibration, at operating temperatures of 18ºC to 28ºC, with relative humidity at 90%. Accuracy specifications take the form of: plus/minus ([% of Reading] + [Counts]). English Max voltage must be less that 1000V DC or AC RMS. Surge protection up to 8KV peak per IEC/EN61010. Fuses are 600mA for inputs. <600mA at 1000V and 10A up to 10A at 1000V Power supply: DC 9V battery (type: NEDA 1604,6F22 or 006P.) Size is 3.
