See “Accuracy Specifications.” A. Selecting a Measurement Range Being in the right measurement range is important: l If the range is too low for the input, the Meter displays OL to indicate an overload. l If the range is too high, the Meter will not display the most accurate measurement. B.

Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(1) A. DC Voltage Measurement (see figure 3) Select red black ( figure 3) Warning To avoid harms to you or damages to the Meter from eletric shock, please do not attempt to measure voltages higher than 1000V, although readings may be obtained. The DC Voltage ranges are: Model UT60F: 400mV, 4V, 40V, 400V and 1000V; Model UT60G: 600mV, 6V, 60V, 600V and 1000V. To measure DC voltage, connect the Meter as follows: 1.
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(2) Note l In each range, the Meter has an input impedance of 10MΩ . This loading effect can cause measurement errors in high impedance circuits. If the circuit impedance is less than or equal to 10kΩ , the error is negligible (0.1 or less). l When DC voltage measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test and remove testing leads from the input terminals. B.
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(3) 2. Set the rotary switch to V ; and press BLUE button to select AC measurement mode. 3. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured. The measured value shows on the display. Note l In each range, the Meter has an input impedance of 10MΩ. This loading effect can cause measurement errors in high impedance circuits. If the circuit impedance is less than or equal to 10kΩ, the error is negligible (0.1 or less).
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(4) Use the 10A terminal and A range if the current value to be tested is an unknown. Model UT60F has 3 measurement positions on the rotary switch: µA , mA and A . Model UT60G has 2 measuremnet positions on the rotary switch: mA and A . To measure current, do the following: 1. Model UT60F: Insert the red test lead into the µAmA or 10A terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal.
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(5) D. Measuring Resistance (see figure 6) Select red black ( figure 6) Warning To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to measure voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V rms AC. To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance. The resistance ranges are: Model UT60F: 400Ω, 4kΩ, 40kΩ, 400kΩ, 4MΩ, and 40MΩ.
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(6) Note: l The test leads can add 0.1Ω to 0.2Ω of error to resistance measurement. To obtain precision readings in low-resistance measurement (UT60F: 400Ω and UT60G is 600Ω), short-circuit the input terminals beforehand and record the reading obtained (called this reading as X). Then use the equation: measured resistance value (Y) –(X) = precision readings of resistance.
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(7) E.Testing Diodes (see figure 7) Select red black ( figure 7) Warning To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to measure voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V rms AC. To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes. Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and other semiconductor devices.
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(8) Note l In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward voltage drop reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the reverse voltage drop reading can vary depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe tips. l Connect the test leads to the proper terminals as said above to avoid error display. l The LCD will display OL indicating either open circuit or wrong polarity connection.
Model UT60F/G: OPERATING MANUAL Measurement Operation(9) Warning To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to measure voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V rms AC.
