Operation

Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical systems are only to be carried

out in compliance with the instructions of a responsible electronics technician,

and never alone.

Test leads and test probes may only be touched at handle surfaces provided. Ab-

solutely avoid the direct contact of the test probes. Prior to switching to a new

measurement range or a new type of measurement, remove all connections from

UUT.

Measurements have to be carried out by respecting the standards.

Voltage Measurement

To avoid electrical shock, the valid safety measures and VDE directives strictly

have to be met concerning excessive contact voltage when working with voltages

exceeding 120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V)rms AC.

DC Voltage Measurement

1) Select measurement range (2V, 20V, 200V or 600V) via measurement

function selection switch.

2) Connect the black test lead to the COM socket and the red test lead to the

socket.

3) Connect test leads to UUT.

4) Read the measurement result displayed on the screen.

If display shows ”1” on the left, change selection to next highest voltage range.

AC Voltage Measurement

1) Select measurement range (200V or 600V) via measurement function

selection switch.

2) Connect the black test lead to the COM socket and the red test lead to the

socket.

3) Connect test leads to UUT.

4) Read the measurement result displayed on the screen.

If display shows ”1” on the left,, change selection to next highest voltage range.
