Range Selection
In addition to autoranging (Models 15XP-B and 35XP-A 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.
� Warning
To avoid electrical shock while manual ranging, use
the display annunciators to identify the actual range
selected.
Correcting an Overload (0o or -0o)
Indication
�
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.
Measuring DC Voltage
(See Figure 1)
1. Set the Function Switch to  .
2. Select the desired RANGE. The default DC voltage
range is 2 V on the 15XP-B and 4 V on the 35XP-A.
3. Connect the test leads: Red to V , Black to COM.
