9. MEASUREMENT OPERATION
Never exceed the maximum permissible input values. Do not touch any
circuitry or connection points when voltages exceeding 33 V/ACrms or 70 V/
DC might be applied. Risk of fatal injury!
Always check all connected test leads for damages (i.e. cuts, tears or
pinching) before measuring. Cease use of damaged test leads immediately!
Risk of fatal injury!
Do not touch beyond the feelable handle markings on the test leads during
measurement.
Only connect the two test leads required for measuring to the device. For
safety reasons, remove all unnecessary test leads from the device when
measuring the current.
Measurements of circuits >33 V/AC AND >70 V/DC may be carried out by
professionals and persons familiar with the applicable regulations for the
measurement and all possible hazards arising therefrom.
You have exceeded the measuring range when the display shows „OL“ (for overload).
a) Turn on the multimeter
Use the rotary switch to turn the multimeter on/off. Turn the rotary switch (13) to the desired
measuring function. To turn off the multimeter, turn the rotary switch to „OFF“. Always turn off
the multimeter when it is not in use.
A brief function test is conducted after power-up. The display
shows „VOLTCRAFT“ for the duration of the function test. The
test takes approx. 3 seconds and is ended with a beep.
