6.7 Measuring frequencies
GB
1) Set the selector switch (10) to the position
"Hz".
2) Apply the test tips to the measuring points
like for measuring voltages.
3) Read the frequency on the display.
6.8 Measuring temperatures
For measuring the surface temperature of ob-
jects, the meter is supplied with a type K tem-
perature sensor with banana adapter plug. The
temperature measurement is not suitable for
medical purposes!
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, do not
apply the temperature sensor to
any objects carrying voltage.
1) Connect the sensor to the multimeter via the
adapter plug: Connect the positive pole to
the jack "V Hz Ω CAP °C °F" (11) and the
negative pole to the jack "COM" (12).
To ensure protection of the meter accord-
ing to IP 67 (e. g. to protect it against humid-
ity for outdoor applications), insert the
sleeves (13) provided into the two red jacks
not used.
2) Set the selector switch (10) to the position
•
"°C
°F". After switching on, the mode
"Fahrenheit " will be activated ("°F" will be
displayed).
3) To switch to Celsius, press the button
"MODE" (3) ["°C" will be displayed]. To return
to "°F", press the button "MODE" again.
4) Apply the sensor to the object to be meas-
ured.
5) Once the reading has stabilized (after ap-
prox. 30 seconds), read the temperature on
the display.
7 Additional Functions
7.1 Manual range selection
The optimum range for a measuring function
will always be selected automatically when
"AUTO" is displayed.
1) To hold a range selected automatically,
press the button "RANGE" (1). "AUTO" will
disappear and "MANU" will appear.
16
2) Each time the button "RANGE" is pressed,
the next higher range will be selected. This
will reduce the resolution of the measured
value, but it will prevent permanent switch-
ing if the measured value fluctuates be-
tween two ranges.
When the highest possible range has
been reached and the button is pressed
again, the smallest range will be selected. If
the range is too small, "OL" (overload) will
be displayed. When measuring voltages
and currents, warning signals will sound ad-
ditionally.
3) To return to automatic range selection, keep
the button "RANGE" pressed for approx.
2 seconds until "AUTO" appears instead of
"MANU".
7.2 Data hold function
To hold a measured value on the display (e. g.
to be able to read the value more easily when
the test tips have been removed from the ob-
ject to be measured), press the button "HOLD"
(2). The digital display will hold the measured
value, "HOLD" will appear and the automatic
range selection will be deactivated ("MANU"
will be displayed).
To deactivate the data hold function, press
the button "HOLD". "HOLD" will disappear and
the automatic range selection will be reacti-
vated ("AUTO" will be displayed).
7.3 Indicating the maximum /
minimum value
With the MAX/MIN function activated, the
meter will record the maximum value and min-
imum value of a measurement and indicate
them on the display. To activate this function,
press the button "MAX / MIN" (8). The automatic
range selection will be deactivated ("MANU"
will be displayed). The button "MAX/MIN" will
allow to switch between three indications:
1. "MAX": The digital display will show the
maximum value measured since the func-
tion has been activated. If a higher value is
reached while measuring, the indication will
be updated accordingly.
2. "MIN": The digital display will show the min-
imum value measured since the function
has been activated. If a lower value is
