- Pressing the "TEST" button again or turning the dial will end the measurement. After measuring,
remove the measuring leads from the measuring object and turn the device off.
In the simplified measuring mode the earth resistance "re" is added to the actual earthing resistance
(REX) as a result of the use of only two measuring inputs. This results in the following equation: "RE =
REX + re".
c) Measuring Voltage "V"
When conducting voltage measurements exceeding 75 V/DC or 50 V/AC only use
measuring leads which are certified for these high voltages. The alligator clip leads
supplied are only to be used in earthing measurements. Safety measuring leads for
CAT III 600 V can be bought separately
Proceed as follows to measure DC voltages "V/DC":
- Turn the DMM on and select measuring range "600 V=".
- Plug the red measuring lead into the "V" measuring socket (10)
and the black measuring lead into the COM measuring socket
(11).
- Now connect the two measuring probes to the object to be
measured (battery, switch etc.). The red measuring tip indi-
cates the positive pole, the black measuring tip the negative
pole.
- The polarity of the respective measured value is indicated on
the display together with the current measured value.
If a minus "-" appears in front of the voltage value
when measuring DC, the measured voltage is nega-
tive (or the measuring tips have been mixed up).
- After measuring, remove the measuring leads from the measured object and turn the DMM off.
Proceed as follows to measure AC voltages "V AC":
- Turn the DMM on and select measuring range "600 V=~".
- Plug the red measuring lead into the "V" measuring socket (10)
and the black measuring lead into the COM measuring socket
(11).
- Now connect the two measuring probes to the object to be
measured (generator, switch etc.).
- The measured value is indicated on the display.
- After measuring, remove the measuring leads from the mea-
sured object and turn the DMM off.
