Fieldpiece SPDM1 - Pocket Digital Multimeter - Manual (Page 2)

Auto off
Your meter will turn off automatically after 10 min-
utes without use. After auto power off, press HOLD
button to restore power. The last reading shown
before it turned off will be displayed.
Data HOLD
Press HOLD button to keep the current range and
reading displayed until HOLD is pressed again.
Mode button
With the function set to VOLTS, press the mode
button to switch between AC and DC.
With the function set to Ω / / , press the
mode button to switch between resistance (ohms),
continuity, and diode test.
Non-contact voltage
The NCV function detects live AC voltage above
24VAC; sensitive enough to detect thermostat power.
1. Store leads in back of meter and switch to
OFF/NCV before using the NCV function.
2. Press and hold down the NCV button. The non-
contact voltage sensor is located at the red arrow
near the top of the meter. The closer the red
arrow is to AC voltage, the louder the beep and
the brighter the red LED.
3. Senses AC voltage between 24V and 600V.
Voltage AC/DC
1. With the function switch set to VOLTS, use mode
button to select AC or DC voltage.
2. Touch the probes to test
points as shown.
3. The meter will display the
voltage with the best
possible resolution. The
SPDM1 is an autoranging
meter so the decimal point will move to show
best resolution. Make sure you notice whether
the meter is displaying V (volts) or mV (millivolts).
Resistance and continuity
1. With the function switch set to Ω / / , use
mode button to toggle between ohms,
continuity, and diode.
2. Turn off power to circuit
being tested.
3. Touch probes to test
points as shown.
4. If mode is set to resistance
( Ω), the meter will display resistance with the best
possible resolution. Make sure you notice
whether the meter is displaying
Ω (ohms), KΩ
(kiloohms), M Ω (megaohms).
5. If mode is set to continuity ( ), the beeper will
sound continuously if the resistance is less than
~25
Ω.
Diode test
1. With the function switch set to Ω / / , use
mode button to select diode test.
2. Turn off power to circuit being tested.
3. Touch probes to the diode. A forward-voltage
drop should be about 0.6V.
4. Reverse probes. If the diode is good, “OL” is dis-
played. If the diode is shorted, a value about 0.0V
will be displayed. If the diode is open, “OL” is dis-
played in both directions.
Storing test leads
For convenient lead storage, open the back cover
and wrap the leads around posts.
