General Information to carry out measurements
Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical systems are only to
be carried out in compliance with the instructions of a responsible elec-
tronics technician, and never alone.
Test leads and test probes may only be touched at handle surfaces pro-
vided. Absolutely avoid the direct contact of the test probes.
Prior to switching to a new measurement range or a new type of measure-
ment, remove all connections from UUT.
Measurements have to be carried out by respecting the standards.
Measurements in environments with strong high frequencies occurs
incorrect display values.
5.1 Voltage Measurement
To avoid electrical shock, the valid safety measures and VDE directives
strictly have to be met concerning excessive contact voltage when work-
ing with voltages exceeding 120 V (60 V) DC or 50 V (25 V)rms AC.
The values in brackets are valid for limited areas (such as e.g. medicine,
agriculture).
DC Voltage Measurement:
• Select measurement range V via measurement function selection switch.
• Connect the black test lead to the COM socket and the red test lead to the
VΩmA socket.
• Connect test leads to UUT.
• Read the measurement result displayed on the screen.
