9. Taking measurements

Never exceed the maximum permitted input values. Never touch circuits or circuit components if

they may carry voltages greater than 33 V/ACrms or 70 V/DC! This may cause a fatal electric shock!

Measurements can only be taken when the battery and fuse compartment is closed. Cables cannot

be inserted when the compartment is open.

Before measuring, check the connected test leads for damage, such as cuts, tears and kinks. Never

use damaged test leads, as this may cause a fatal electric shock!

When taking measurements, do not touch any area beyond the grip markings on the test probes

/ test leads.

Only connect the two test leads that you require to take measurements. For safety reasons, remove

all unnecessary test leads from the device before taking a measurement.

Measurements in circuits rated at >33 V/AC and >70 V/DC must only be made by qualied and

trained personnel who are familiar with the relevant regulations and the associated hazards.

”OL” (overload) indicates that the measuring range has been exceeded.

The display shows the correct connection sequence of the measurement terminals for each measurement

mode. Follow the sequence indicated on the display when connecting the test leads.

a) Turning the multimeter on and off

Turn the control dial (D) to selected the desired mode.

The optical measuring range is automatically selected (except in

current mode). When measuring a current, always start with the

largest measurement range, and then switch to a smaller range if

necessary. Always disconnect the test leads from the multimeter

before switching to another mode.

To turn the multimeter off, move the control dial to the “OFF” posi-

tion. Always turn the multimeter off when it is not in use.

Before storing the multimeter, insert the test leads into the high-

impedance terminals (COM and V). This helps to prevent errors

when making subsequent measurements.

The battery must be inserted before you can use the

multimeter. See “Cleaning and maintenance” for in-

structions on how to change/replace the battery.
