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 and 35XP only) you can manually select
and lock a range by pressing the RANGE button. RANGE appears on the display to
indicate 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.

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

Correcting an Overload (0o or

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 0o indication 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 1000 V.

• Always measure current in series with the load. Never measure current across a

voltage source.

Measuring DC Current See Figure -3-

1. Set the Function Switch to a current function, µA, mA, or A.

2. Select the desired RANGE (5XP only).

3. Connect the test leads: Red to mA or A, Black to COM.

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 only)

The MIN MAX feature reads and updates the display to show the maximum,
minimum, or average 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 and 35XP 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 6 minutes (15XP)
or 10 minutes (35XP). 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.
