This instrument is shipped configured for 230 volt operation. Operation at 117 VAC requires that the fuse be
changed and the proper power cord used.
FOR UNITED KINGDOM ONLY
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green/ Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the colours marking identified in your
plug/appliance, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth
terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. The wire
which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or
Black. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or
coloured Brown or Red. If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating
information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, cable of 0.75 mm should be
protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection
method used. Any moulded mains connector that requires removal / replacement must be destroyed by removal
of any fuse & fuse carrier and disposed of immediately, as a plug with bared wires is hazardous if engaged in live
socket. Any re-wiring must be carried out in accordance with the information detailed on this instruction.
INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a line powered, bench-type digital multimeter with a 4-1/2 digit LED display. The DMM can
measure AC/DC volts, AC/DC current, and resistance. Among other features:
• True RMS Measurements of AC or AC+DC Signals : True RMS measurement is the only accurate way to
directly measure AC or AC+DC signals that are not noise-free pure sine waves. This instrument measures AC
voltage frequencies up to 50 kHz.
•
Five measurement functions :
•
AC and DC VOLTS: Standard linear voltage measurements from 10 µV to 1200 VDC and 10 mV to
1000 VAC or AC+DC true rms.
This meter is shipped with two power cords. The 117/230 volts
power switch on the rear panel has been set to 230 volts and the
0.08A fuse installed.
Please verify the switch and fuse for your location before
installing the power cord
To change to 117 V operation, install proper fuse at back panel
(see manual) and set switch to 117V.
