Ac Voltage Measurements; Dc Current Measurements; Resistance Measurements; Diode Measurements - Velleman DVM810 Notice D'emploi

4.3. AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

1. Connect the red test lead to the "V mA" jack and the black lead to the "COM" jack.
2. Place the RANGE switch in the appropriate VAC position. Set the switch to the highest range and work your way down if
the voltage range is unknown beforehand.
3. Connect the test leads to the device or circuit to be measured.
4. Activate the device or circuit to be measured. The voltage value will appear on the display.

4.4. DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

1. Connect the red test lead to the "V mA" jack and the black lead to the "COM" jack. (Connect the red test lead to the
"10A"-jack for measurements between 200mA and 10A).
2. Place the RANGE switch in the appropriate ADC position. Set the switch to the highest range and work your way down if
the voltage range is unknown beforehand.
3. Open the circuit to be measured and connect the test leads IN SERIES with the load of which the current is to be
measured.
4. Activate the device or circuit to be measured. The current value will appear on the display.

4.5. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

1. Connect the red test lead to the "V mA" jack and the black lead to the "COM" jack.
2. Place the RANGE switch in the appropriate position.
3. If the resistance to be measured is connected to a circuit : disconnect the power and discharge all capacitors prior to
measurement.
4. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured.
5. The resistance value will be displayed.

4.6. DIODE MEASUREMENTS

1. Connect the red test lead to the "V mA" jack and the black lead to the "COM" jack.
2. Set the RANGE switch to the position.
3. Connect the red test lead to the anode and the black test lead to the cathode of the diode to be measured.
4. The forward voltage drop will be displayed in mV. "1" will be displayed if the polarity of the diode is reversed.
4.7. TRANSISTOR hFE-MEASUREMENTS
1. Set the RANGE switch to the hFE-position.
2. Determine whether the transistor is NPN or PNP and locate the emitter, base and collector leads. Insert the leads into the
proper holes of the hFE-socket on the front panel.
3. The display will show the approximate hFE-value at the moment of testing. Base current 10µ A, Vce 2.8V.

5. BATTERY AND FUSE REPLACEMENT

CAUTION
All test leads should be disconnected from energised circuits prior to opening the case. This eliminates the risk of
electroshocks.
- The fuse rarely needs to be replaced and a blown fuse is nearly always due to an error on behalf of the operator.
- Replace the battery when the display reads "BAT".
- In order to replace the battery (type GP23GA) or the fuse (200mA/250V) : loosen and remove the 2 screws at the back of
the device. Remove the old battery or fuse and insert a new one. Observe the polarity !
