Installing the Measuring Device
There is a fold-out stand on the back of the device. This lets you put the measuring
device in a slanted position, which eases reading off the values.
Disposal
If the appliance doesn't function despite an intact voltage supply (9 V block battery)
and intact fuses, respectively can no longer be repaired, it must be disposed of
according to the valid statutory regulations.
Troubleshooting
With this digital multimeter VC-860, you have purchased a product that reflects
the latest state of technology and is safe to operate.
Still there might be problems or malfunctions.
At this point, we want to tell you how to easily remedy possible malfunctions
yourself.
Observe the safety notices under all circumstances!
Error
The multimeter does not function. Is the battery spent?
Current measuring is not possible. Is the fuse for the 400 mA or 10A current mea-

do not change.
Other repairs than the ones described above may only be performed
by an authorized expert.

Possible cause
Check the battery status.
suring range defect?
Check the fuse (fuse change)
Is the HOLD function active?
Press the HOLD button.
a) Direct Current Measuring
For measuring direct currents, proceed as follows:
- Connect the black measuring cable with the COM
socket (7) and the red measuring cable with the VW
socket (6) until these are plane in the measuring
device.
- Set the range selection switch (5) to position "V".
- Now connect the two measuring tips with the mea-
suring object (battery, circuit, etc.).
- The respective polarity of the measuring value is
displayed together with the current measuring value
on the display (1).
The direct current range "V DC" shows an input resistance of approx. 10 MOhm. As
soon as a minus "-" appears in front of the measuring value with direct current, the
measured voltage is negative (or the measuring cables are switched).
Notice: Due to the fact that the measuring input is very sensitive, it may happen that
phantom measuring values are displayed with exposed measuring cables (not con-
nected to a measuring object). This "occurrence" is normal and disappears as soon
as you perform your measurement respectively press the button "Loimp.200k".
b) Alternate Current Measuring (True RMS)
Attention!
Do not exceed the admissible input values, even when measuring
superposed direct currents (e.g. ripple voltages). Max. 750 V
ACrms. Do not touch any circuits or circuit parts if these carry
voltages in excess of 25 V ACrms or 35 V DC!
