Table 1. The Crest Factor is the Peak Voltage divided by the RMS voltage.
Note: To accurately measure a DC voltage with an AC component, measure the
AC component first with selector switch set to V
range used. Switch to V
and select a range equal to or higher then the V
measurement. The result is the measured AC Voltage on top of the measured DC
component. (Max input is 1500V for any combination).
DC AND AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT (See Fig. 3)
Connect red test lead to the mA input for current measurements up to 40mA or
to the 10A input for current measurements to 10A. Connect black test lead to
COM input connector.
Open circuit in which current is to be measured (voltage between this point and
ground must not exceed 600V on 10A input or 500V on mA input). Securely
connect test leads in series with the load.
Read current value on Digital Display.
Note: If, in the 10A range, the meter is exposed to current greater than 10A, it
should be turned off and allowed to cool for at least 10 minutes
Incorrect Input Warning: "FErr" is displayed when a test lead is connected to
current input, but the selector switch is not set to a current range.
