e) V/Ohm Socket
If you want to measure voltage-, frequency- or resistance, continuity
or diodes/batteries, plug in the red test-lead in this socket.

5. Measurement Procedure

5.1 DC Voltage Measurement

Attention!
Never exceed the maximum input limits. Max. 1000 VDC or 750
VACrms (=effective).
Do not touch circuits or parts of circuits, if you measure voltage
more than 25 VACrms or 35 VDC.
To measure DC voltage proceed as follows:
1. Set the rotary function switch to desired position (mV= or V=).
Attention!
For voltage measurement, always start with the highest
measuring range. Before you change the measuring range first
remove the test-leads form the object under measurement
because of security reasons.
2. Connect the test-lead tips with the object to be measured (load,
circuit etc.). Each of the five DC ranges show an input resistance
of 10 MOhm (shunted with < 100 pF). As soon as a "-" appears
before the measuring value, the voltage under measurement is
negative (or the test-lead have been confused).

5.2 AC Voltage Measurement
To measure AC voltage proceed as follows:
1. Set the rotary function switch to the desired position (mV~ or V~)
Attention!
Always start with the highest measuring range for voltage
measurement. Before you change the measuring range first
remove the test-leads form the object under measurement
because of security reasons.
2. Connect the test-lead tips with the object to be measured (load,
circuit etc.). Each of the four AC ranges show an input resistance
of 10 MOhm (shunted with < 100 pF). The measuring input is AC
coupled.

5.3 Current Measurement

To measure DC and AC current proceed as follows:
1. Set the rotary function switch to current measurement (mA= or A=
or mA~ or A~).
Attention!
Always start with the highest range for current measurement.
Before you change the measuring range first remove the test-
leads form the object under measurement because of security
reasons.
2. Connect the test-lead tips in series with the object to be measured
(see the following figure).
