6. Operation

GENERAL

• When the range of the measured signal is unknown, start measurement

in auto-range mode, and then select range according to indicated value.

• The display shows “OL” when the present range limit is exceeded. Select

a higher range to continue measurement.

• Do not measure voltages > 600 V or current higher than 1000A. Never

turn the rotary function switch [3] during measurement.

• The device will go in sleep mode when no activity is detected for ±30

min.

• For all measurements: pressing the data hold button [4] freezes the

currently measured value until the data hold button [4] is pressed again.
The hold-mode is indicated by the word “HOLD” in the display.

• To switch on the backlight, press and hold the backlight button [4] for

about one second. To switch the backlight off, press and hold the
backlight button [4] again for ±1s. Note that the meter goes in HOLD
mode when switching the backlight on or off. Press the data hold button
[4] again to continue normal measurement.

• The meter starts in auto ranging mode. To select the range manually,

press the range button [7] (not for AC current, diode and continuity
measurements). To return to auto ranging, press and hold the range
button [7] for ±2 seconds.

AC/DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

DCM267N

• Connect the red test lead to the "V  °C/°F" jack [10] and the black lead

to the "COM" jack [9].

• Set the rotary function switch [3] in the

• Use the mode button [5] to choose between AC and DC voltage.

• Connect the test leads parallel to the source being measured.

• Read the voltage value on the LCD display [8] along with the polarity of

the red lead connection.

AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT

• Make sure no test leads are connected to the “V  °C/°F” [10] or “COM”

[9] jacks.

• Set the rotary switch [3] in the desired range (40A, 400A or 1000A). If

the current to be measured is unknown beforehand, set the range switch
in the highest range position and then reduce gradually until the ideal
resolution is obtained.

• Press the trigger [2] to open the jaws [1] of the clamp. Enclose a single

conductor within the clamp and release the trigger [2]. Enclosing
multiple conductors at the same time will result in faulty measurements.

• Read the current value on the LCD display.
RESISTANCE, AUDIBLE CONTINUITY, DIODE and CAPACITY TEST

• Connect the red test lead to the "V  °C/°F" jack [10] and the black lead

to the "COM" jack [9].

• Set the rotary switch [3] in the "

• For resistance test and continuity test, press the mode button [5] until

the “” symbol appears in the display. Connect the test leads to the
resistor to be measured and read the value in the LCD display.
Disconnect one side of the device under test to avoid interference from
the rest of the circuit. When the resistance is <100, a continuity buzzer
will sound.

• For diode measurements, press the mode button [5] until the "

symbol appears in the display. When the diode passes the test, indicated
forward voltage will be 0.4~0.7V while reverse voltage will indicate “OL”.
When the diode is short circuited, both readings will be ±0mV; when
open, both measurements will shown “OL”.

Notes:

forward DC current: ±0.3mA

• For capacity measurements, press the mode button [5] until “F” is shown

open circuit voltage: ±1.5V

in the display. Warning: disconnect power to the device under test
(including batteries!) and discharge all capacitors before measuring
capacitance. Connect the test leads to the capacitor to be measured and
read the value in the LCD display.

FREQUENCY or % DUTY CYCLE measurement

• Connect the red test lead to the "V  °C/°F" jack [10] and the black lead

to the "COM" jack [9].

• Set the rotary switch [3] in the "Hz·%" position. Select Hz or % duty

with the Hz - % select button [6], the selection is indicated in the
display.

• Connect the test leads to the circuit under test and read the value in the

LCD display.

• Insert the side of the temperature probe adapter marked with “+” in the

"V  °C/°F" jack [10] and the other side (“-”) in the "COM" jack [9].

• Hold the probe head to the device under test for ±30s and read the value

in the LCD display.

• Do not change the rotary function switch when the thermocouple is

connected to the meter.

7. Battery

DCM267N

• When the low battery indication appears, replace the internal battery.

• Always disconnect test leads when replacing the battery. Do not us the

device without batteries installed.

• The battery cover is located on the back of the device and is closed with

one screw. Remove the screw and open the battery compartment.

• Remove the battery and insert a new 9V battery following the polarity as

indicated in the battery holder. Only use a new battery of the same type
and specifications.

• Reinstall the cover and secure it with the screw.

•

Remove the battery when the device will not be used for a long time to avoid
leakage.

• Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries and do not throw in fire as they

may explode.

WARNING: handle batteries with care, observe warnings on
battery casing. Dispose of batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
Keep batteries away from children.

ALGEMEEN

• Indien u het bereik niet kent, start de meting met de automatische

bereikinstelling en kies het gepaste bereik aan de hand van de eerste
meetresultaten.

• De display geeft ‘OL’ weer indien het bereik overschreden wordt.

Selecteer een hoger bereik.

• Meet geen spanning > 600 V of stroom > 1000 A. Draai niet aan de

functieschakelaar [3] tijdens het meten.

• Het toestel schakelt naar stand-by na 30 seconden inactiviteit. Druk op

een toets om verder te gaan.

• Druk op de vergrendeltoets [4] om de uitlezing op het scherm te

bevriezen (de display geeft ‘HOLD’ weer). Druk opnieuw om verder te
gaan.

• Houd de vergrendeltoets [4] ingedrukt om achtergrondverlichting in of

uit te schakelen.

• De meettang staat standaard in de automatische bereikinstelling. Stel het

bereik handmatig in met de RANGE-toets [7]. Deze functie is niet
beschikbaar voor AC-stroom, en diode- en continuïteitstest. Houd de
RANGE-toets [7] gedurende ± 2 seconden ingedrukt om de automatische
bereikinstelling opnieuw in te stellen.
