MAKING MEASUREMENTS

Verify Instrument Operation

Before attempting to make a measurement, verify that
the instrument is operational and the battery is good. If
the instrument is not operational, have it repaired before
attempting to make a measurement.

Range Selection

In addition to autoranging (Models 15XP-B and 35XP-A only)
you can manually select and lock a range by pressing the
RANGE button. RANGE appears on the display to indicate

3

that manual ranging is active and the range is locked. When
appropriate, each subsequent press of the range button
steps the meter to the next higher range. When the highest
range is reached the next press returns the meter to the
lowest range. To return to autoranging press the RANGE
button. If RANGE still shows on the display, autoranging is
not available for the selected function.Use autorange for
all initial measurements. Then, when appropriate, use the
RANGE button to select and lock a range.

�Warning

To avoid electrical shock while manual ranging, use
the display annunciators to identify the actual range
selected.

Correcting an Overload (0o or -0o)

Indication�

An 0o or -0o indication may appear on the display to indicate
that an overload condition exists. For voltage and current
measurements, an overload should be immediately corrected
by selecting a higher range. If the highest range setting does
not eliminate the overload, interrupt the measurement until
the problem is identified and eliminated. The
is normal for some functions; for example,resistance,
continuity, and diode test.

.

Preparing for Current Measurements

• Turn off circuit power before connecting the test probes.

• Allow the meter to cool between measurements, if current

measurements approach or exceeds 2 amps.

• A warning tone sounds if you connect a test lead to a

current input while a current function is not selected.

• Open circuit voltage at the measurement point must not

exceed 600V.

• Always measure current in series with the load. Never

measure current across a voltage source.

Measuring DC Current (See Figure 3)

3. Connect the test leads: Red toV , Black to COM.

4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. Never
measure resistance across a voltage source or on a
powered circuit.

5. Discharge any capacitors that may influence the
reading.

6. Connect the test probes across the resistance.

7. Read the display. If
the resistance is too large to be measured or the circuit
is an open circuit.

8. (15XP-B) The 2000 M range has a fixed 10-count
offset in the reading. For example, when measuring
1100 M, the display reads 1110. The 10 residual must
be subtracted to obtain the actual value of 1100 M

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Input Test Lead Warning

The meter emits a continuous tone when a test lead is
placed in the mA or A input jack and the Function/Range
Switch is not set to a correct current position. (If the meter
is connected to a voltage source with leads connected for
current, very high current could result). All current ranges are
protected by fast acting fuses.

MIN MAX Measurements (Model 5XP-A only)

The MIN MAX feature reads and updates the display to show
the maximum or minimum value measured after you press
the MIN MAX button.Pressing the MIN MAX button for less
than 1 second will put the meter into a mode of displaying
the maximum or minimum readings. Each time the button is
pressed,the meter will cycle to the next display mode. Press
the MIN MAX button for more than 1 second to disable this
feature.

Auto Power Off (Models 15XP-B and 35XP-A only)

Auto Power Off is a battery saving feature that puts the
meter into a sleep mode if the Function/Range Switch has
not changed position in the last 10 minutes. To wake the
meter turn the Function/Range Switch to another position.
The Auto Power Off feature can be disabled to keep the
meter from going to sleep.To disable the Auto Power Off
feature use the following procedure:

1. Set the Function Switch to OFF.

2. Press and hold the Range button while turning the
Function Switch from OFF to the desired function.

3. Release the Range button. The Auto Power Off
feature will remain disabled until the meter is turned
off and then on.

HOLD Measurements

The HOLD button causes the meter to capture and
continuously display a measurement reading. To use the
HOLD feature make a measurement, and then,after the
reading has stabilized, momentarily press the HOLD button.
You can remove the test leads and the reading will remain
on the display. Pressing the HOLD button again releases the
display.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

To clean the meter, use a soft cloth moistened with water. To
avoid damage to the plastic components do not use benzene,
alcohol, acetone, ether, paint thinner,lacquer thinner, ketone
or other solvents to clean the meter.

Troubleshooting

If the meter appears to operate improperly, check the
following items first.

1. Review the operating instructions to ensure the meter
is being used properly.

2. Inspect and test the continuity of the test leads.

3. Make sure the battery is in good condition. The low
battery symbol

a low-battery immediately.

4. Check the condition of the fuses if the current ranges
operate incorrectly.
