2. From the front panel, use a screwdriver to rotate the fuse carrier several turns counter-clockwise.

Take the fuse carrier out of the socket.

3. Remove the fuse and replace it with the same type (T1AL, 250V, 5×20mm).

CAUTION: Do not use a fuse with a higher current rating than specified or instrument may be

damaged. If the instrument repeatedly blows fuses, try to find out the reason before

replacing the fuse.

4. Install the new fuse by reversing the procedure above.

3.4.1 Connections

Assuming the multimeter is under factory default conditions, the basic procedure for measuring

resistance is as follows:

1. Connect the test leads between

and COM.

2. Select resistance measurement function by pressing

3. Press

toggles auto ranging. Notice the AUTO annunciator is displayed with auto ranging. If

you want manual ranging, use the RANGE

and

keys to select a measurement

range consistent with expected resistance.

4. Connect test leads to the resistance as shown in Figure 3-3:

CAUTION: Do not apply more than 1000 V peak

between

and COM or instrument

damage may occur.

5. In manual range, i

f the “OVL.D” message is displayed, press up

key to select a higher range

until a normal reading is displayed (or press

key for auto ranging). Use the lowest possible

range for the best resolution.

6. Take readings from the display.
