The Continuity mode provides a means to determine if a low
resistance (continuity) exists between two points without
having to constantly watch the display. It provides an audible
beep when continuity is detected. There will be no sound until
a low resistance is measured.
Bargraph
To watch for rapid fluctuations in the reading, a 32 segment
bargraph is provided. This bargraph responds much faster
than the digital display, allowing the user to better judge the
stability or instability in the digital reading. For example, it will
always read to the right for inputs of +1.0 volt and -1.0 volt.
Data Hold
It is often not possible to view the display and touch the
probes to the circuit being tested. In these situations, this
meter provides a data hold feature which function is to take
and hold the reading. The Data Hold feature is available in all
functions. To use this feature, simply press and release the
DATA HOLD button. D-H will be displayed on the LCD. Press
the DATA HOLD button again to cancel.
Low Battery Indicator
Internal circuitry continuously monitors the battery voltage and
will inform the user by activating the BAT annunciator on the
display. Replace the batteries immediately to ensure accurate
readings.
Sleep Mode
If left on for 10 minutes, the meter will power down to save
batteries. To turn the power back on, simply press any button
or move the Function switch.
Self Storing Tip
The Test Tip is self storing for safety and convenience. Turn
the red collar in a counter clockwise fashion to loosen the tip,
remove it, turn it over, and re-insert it into the red collar. Turn
the collar clockwise to tighten.
