How to Make Measurements
The following sections describe how to make
measurements with the Meter.
AC and DC Voltage Measurements
The Meter features true-rms readings, which are accurate
for distorted sine waves and other waveforms (with no dc
offset) such as square waves, triangle waves, and
staircase waves.
The Meter’s voltage ranges are 600.0 mV, 6.000 V,
60.00 V, 600.0 V, and 1000 V. The select the 600.0 mV
dc range, turn the rotary switch to mV.
Refer to Figure 2 to measure ac or dc voltage.
Switch Box

How to Make Measurements

When measuring voltage, the Meter acts approximately
like a 10-MΩ (10,000,000 Ω) impedance in parallel with
the circuit. This loading effect can cause measurement
errors in high-impedance circuits. In most cases, the error
is negligible (0.1 % or less) if the circuit impedance is
10 kΩ (10,000 Ω) or less.
For better accuracy when measuring the dc offset of an
ac voltage, measure the ac voltage first. Note the ac
voltage range, then manually select a dc voltage range
equal to or higher than the ac range. This procedure
improves the accuracy of the dc measurement by
ensuring that the input protection circuits are not
activated.
Zero Input Behavior of True-rms Meter
True-rms meters accurately measure distorted
waveforms, but when the input leads are shorted together
in the ac functions, the Meter displays a residual reading
between 1 and 30 counts. When the test leads are open,
the display readings may fluctuate due to interference.
These offset readings are normal. They do not affect the
Meter’s ac measurement accuracy over the specified
measurement ranges.
Unspecified input levels are:
• AC voltage: below 3 % of 600 mV ac, or 18 mV ac
• AC current: below 3 % of 60 mA ac, or 1.8 mA ac
• AC current: below 3 % of 600 μA ac, or 18 μA ac
Low-Pass Filter
The Meter is equipped with an ac low-pass filter. When
measuring ac voltage or ac frequency, press to
activate the low-pass filter mode (). The Meter
continues measuring in the chosen mode, but now the
signal diverts through a filter that blocks unwanted
voltages above 1 kHz, refer to Figure 3. The lower
frequency voltages pass with reduced accuracy to the
measurement below 1 kHz. The low-pass filter can
improve measurement performance on composite sine
waves that are typically generated by inverters and
variable frequency motor drives.

XW Warning
To prevent possible electric shock or
personal injury, do not use the low-pass filter
to verify the presence of hazardous voltages.
Voltages greater than what is indicated may
be present. First, make a voltage
measurement without the filter to detect the
possible presence of hazardous voltage.
Then, select the filter.
Note
When the low-pass filter is selected, the Meter
goes to manual ranging mode. Select ranges by
pressing . Autoranging is not available with
the low-pass filter.

Temperature Measurements
The Meter measures the temperature of a type-K
thermocouple (included). Choose between degrees
Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F) by pushing
.
W Caution
To prevent possible damage to the Meter or
other equipment, remember that while the
Meter is rated for -200.0 °C to +1090.0 °C and
-328.0 °F to 1994 °F, the included type-K
thermocouple is rated to 260 °C. For
temperatures out of that range, use a higher
rated thermocouple.
Display ranges are -200.0 °C to +1090 °C and -328.0 °F
to 1994 °F. Readings outside of these ranges show on
the Meter display. When there is no thermocouple
connected, the display also reads .
To measure temperature, do the following:
1. Connect a type-K thermocouple to the Meter’s COM
and terminals.
2. Turn the rotary switch to .
3. Push to enter temperature mode.
4. Push to choose Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Continuity Tests
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.
The continuity test features a beeper that sounds as long
as a circuit is complete. The beeper allows you to perform
quick continuity tests without having to watch the display.
To test for continuity, set up the Meter as shown in
Figure 4.
Press to turn the continuity beeper on or off.
The continuity function detects intermittent opens and
shorts lasting as little as 1 ms. A brief short causes the
Meter to emit a short beep.

Resistance Measurements
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.
The Meter measures resistance by sending a small
current through the circuit. Because this current flows
through all possible paths between the probes, the
resistance reading represents the total resistance of all
paths between the probes.
The Meter's resistance ranges are 600.0 Ω, 6.000 kΩ,
60.00 kΩ, 600.0 kΩ, 6.000 MΩ, and 50.00 MΩ.
Set up the Meter as shown in Figure 5 to measure
resistance.
The following are some tips for measuring resistance:
• The measured value of a resistor in a circuit is often
different from the resistor's rated value.
• The test leads can add 0.1 Ω to 0.2 Ω of error to
resistance measurements. To test the leads, touch
the probe tips together and read the resistance of the
leads. If necessary, you can use the relative (REL)
mode to automatically subtract this value.
• The resistance function can produce enough voltage
to forward-bias silicon diode or transistor junctions,
causing them to conduct. If this is suspected, press
to apply a lower current in the next higher
range. If the value is higher, use the higher value.
Refer to the Input Characteristics table in the
specifications section for typical short-circuit currents.

How to Use Conductance for High Resistance or
Leakage Tests
Conductance, the inverse of resistance, is the ability of a
circuit to pass current. High values of conductance
correspond to low values of resistance.
The Meter's 60-nS range measures conductance in
nanosiemens (1 nS = 0.000000001 siemens). Because
such small amounts of conductance correspond to
extremely high resistance, the nS range lets you
determine the resistance of components up to
100,000 MΩ, 1/1 nS = 1,000 MΩ.
To measure conductance, set up the Meter for measuring
resistance as shown in Figure 5, then press until
the nS indicator appears on the display.
The following are some tips for measuring conductance:
• High-resistance readings are susceptible to
electrical noise. To smooth out most noisy readings,
enter the MIN MAX recording mode; then step to the
average (AVG) reading.
• There is normally a residual conductance reading
with the test leads open. To ensure accurate
readings, use the relative (REL) mode to subtract
the residual value.

Capacitance Measurements
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.
The Meter's capacitance ranges are 10.00 nF, 100.0 nF,
1.000 μF, 10.00 μF, 100.0 μF, and 9999 μF.
To measure capacitance, set up the Meter as shown in
Figure 6.
To improve the accuracy of measurements less than
1000 nF, use the relative (REL) mode to subtract the
residual capacitance of the Meter and leads.
Note
If too much electrical charge is present on the
capacitor being tested, the display shows
“diSC“.

Diode Tests
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.
Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, silicon
controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor
devices. This function tests a semiconductor junction by
sending a current through the junction, then measuring
the junction's voltage drop. A good silicon junction drops
between 0.5 V and 0.8 V.
To test a diode out of a circuit, set up the Meter as shown
in Figure 7. For forward-bias readings on any
semiconductor component, place the red test lead on the
component's positive terminal and place the black lead on
the component's negative terminal.
In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward-
bias reading of 0.5 V to 0.8 V; however, the reverse-bias
reading can vary depending on the resistance of other
pathways between the probe tips.
A short beep sounds if the diode is good (<0.85 V). A
continuous beep sounds if the reading is ≤0.100 V. This
reading would indicate a short circuit. The display shows
“OL” if the diode is open.

AC or DC Current Measurements
XWWarning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, remove circuit power before
you connect the Product in the circuit when
you measure current. Connect the Product in
series with the circuit.
WCaution
To prevent damage to the Meter or to the
equipment under test:
• Check the Meter's fuses before
measuring current.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and
range for all measurements.
• Never place the probes across (in
parallel with) any circuit or component
when the leads are plugged into the
current terminals.
To measure current, you must break the circuit under
test, then place the Meter in series with the circuit.
The Meter's current ranges are 600.0 μA, 6000 μA,
60.00 mA, 400.0 mA, 6.000 A, and 10.00 A.
To measure current, refer to Figure 8 and proceed as
follows:
1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all high-
voltage capacitors.
2. Insert the black lead into the COM terminal. For
currents between 0 mA and 400 mA, insert the red
lead into the mA/μA terminal. For currents above
400 mA, insert the red lead into the A terminal.
Note
To avoid blowing the Meter's 400-mA fuse, use
the mA/
μ
A terminal only if you are sure the
current is less than 400 mA continuously or less
than 600 mA for 18 hours or less.

rotary switch to
for currents below 6000 μA
(6 mA), or for currents above 6000 μA.
4. To measure dc current, press .
5. Break the circuit path to be tested. Touch the black
probe to the more negative side of the break; touch
the red probe to the more positive side of the break.
Reversing the leads will produce a negative reading,
but will not damage the Meter.
6. Turn on power to the circuit; then read the display.
Be sure to note the unit given at the right side of the
display (μA, mA, or A).
7. Turn off power to the circuit and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors. Remove the Meter and restore
the circuit to normal operation.
The following are some tips for measuring current:
• If the current reading is 0 and you are sure the Meter
is set up correctly, test the Meter's fuses as
described under "Testing the Fuses".
• A current meter drops a small voltage across itself,
which might affect circuit operation. You can
calculate this burden voltage using the values listed
in the specifications in the Input Characteristics table.

Frequency Measurements
The Meter measures the frequency of a voltage or current
signal by counting the number of times the signal crosses
a threshold level each second.
Table 6 summarizes the trigger levels and applications for
measuring frequency using the various ranges of the
Meter's voltage and current functions.
To measure frequency, connect the Meter to the signal
source; then press
. Pressing switches the
trigger slope between + and -, as indicated by the symbol
at the left side of the display (refer to Figure 9 under
"Duty Cycle"). Pressing stops and starts the
counter.
The Meter autoranges to one of five frequency ranges:
199.99 Hz, 1999.9 Hz, 19.999 kHz, 199.99 kHz, and
greater than 200 kHz. For frequencies below 10 Hz, the
display is updated at the frequency of the input. Below
0.5 Hz, the display may be unstable.
The following are some tips for measuring frequency:
• If a reading shows as 0 Hz or is unstable, the input
signal may be below or near the trigger level. You
can usually correct these problems by selecting a
lower range, which increases the sensitivity of the
Meter. In the function, the lower ranges also have
lower trigger levels.
If a reading seems to be a multiple of what you expect,
the input signal may be distorted. Distortion can cause
multiple triggerings of the frequency counter. Selecting a
higher voltage range might solve this problem by
decreasing the sensitivity of the Meter. You can also try
selecting a dc range, which raises the trigger level. In
general, the lowest frequency displayed is the correct
one.

Duty Cycle Measurements
Duty cycle (or duty factor) is the percentage of time a
signal is above or below a trigger level during one cycle
(Figure 9). The duty cycle mode is optimized for
measuring the on or off time of logic and switching
signals. Systems such as electronic fuel injection systems
and switching power supplies are controlled by pulses of
varying width, which can be checked by measuring duty
cycle.
To measure duty cycle, set up the Meter to measure
frequency; then press Hz a second time. As with the
frequency function, you can change the slope for the
Meter's counter by pressing .
For 5-V logic signals, use the 6-V dc range. For 12-V
switching signals in automobiles, use the 60 V dc range.
For sine waves, use the lowest range that does not result
in multiple triggering. (Normally, a distortion-free signal
can be up to ten times the amplitude of the selected
voltage range.)
If a duty cycle reading is unstable, press MIN MAX; then
scroll to the AVG (average) display.

How to Determine Pulse Width
For a periodic waveform (its pattern repeats at equal time
intervals), you can determine the amount of time that the
signal is high or low as follows:
1. Measure the signal's frequency.
2. Push a second time to measure the signal's
duty cycle. Push to select a measurement of
the signal's positive or negative pulse, refer to
Figure 9.
3. Use the following formula to determine the pulse
width:
Pulse Width =
% Duty Cycle ÷ 100
(in seconds) Frequency
Bargraph
The analog bargraph functions like the needle on an
analog meter, but without the overshoot. The bargraph
updates 40 times per second. Because the graph
responds 10 times faster than the digital display, it is
useful for making peak and null adjustments and
observing rapidly changing inputs. The graph is not
shown for capacitance, frequency counter functions,
temperature, or peak min max.
The number of lit segments indicates the measured value
and is relative to the full-scale value of the selected
range.
In the 60-V range, for example, the major divisions on the
scale represent 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 V. An input of -30 V
lights the negative sign and the segments up to the
middle of the scale.
The bargraph also has a zoom function, as described
under "Zoom Mode".
87V MAX
Users Manual
28
Zoom Mode (Power Up Option Only)
To use the Rel Zoom Bargraph:
1. Hold down while turning the Meter on. The
display reads “”.
2. Select the relative mode by pressing
again.
3. The center of the bargraph now represents zero and
the sensitivity of the bargraph increases by a factor
of 10. Measured values more negative than the
stored reference activate segments to the left of
center; values more positive activate segments to the
right of center.
Uses for the Zoom Mode
The relative mode, combined with the increased
sensitivity of the bargraph's zoom mode, helps you make
fast and accurate zero and peak adjustments.
For zero adjustments, set the Meter to the desired
function, short the test leads together, press
; then
connect the leads to the circuit under test. Adjust the
circuit's variable component until the display reads zero.
Only the center segment on the zoom bargraph is lit.
For peak adjustments, set the Meter to the desired
function, connect the leads to the circuit under test; then
press
. The display reads zero. As you adjust for a
positive or negative peak, the bargraph length increases
to the right or left of zero. If an overange symbol ( )
lights, press
twice to set a new reference; then
continue with the adjustment.
HiRes Mode
Push for one second to enter the high-resolution
(HiRes) 4-1/2 digit mode. Readings are displayed at 10
times the normal resolution with a maximum display of
19,999 counts. The HiRes mode works in all modes
except capacitance, frequency counter functions,
temperature, and the 250 μs (peak) MIN MAX modes.
To return to the 3-1/2 digit mode, push for one second.
Digital Multimeter
MIN MAX Recording Mode
29
MIN MAX Recording Mode
The MIN MAX mode records minimum and maximum
input values. When the inputs go below the recorded
minimum value or above the recorded maximum value,
the Meter beeps and records the new value. This mode
can be used to capture intermittent readings, record
maximum readings while you are away or record readings
while you are operating the equipment under test and
cannot watch the Meter. MIN MAX mode can also
calculate an average of all readings taken since the MIN
MAX mode was activated. To use MIN MAX mode, refer
to the functions in Table 7.
Response time is the length of time an input must stay at
a new value to be recorded. A shorter response time
captures shorter events, but with decreased accuracy.
Changing the response time erases all recorded
readings. The Meter has 100 millisecond and 250 μs
(peak) response times. The 250 μs response time is
indicated by “” on the display.
The 100 millisecond response time is best for recording
power supply surges, inrush currents, and finding
intermittent failures.
The true average value (AVG) displayed is the
mathematical integral of all readings taken since the start
of recording (overloads are discarded). The average
reading is useful for smoothing out unstable inputs,
calculating power consumption, or estimating the
percentage of time a circuit is active.
Min Max records the signal extremes lasting longer than
100 ms.
Peak records the signal extremes lasting longer than
250 μs.
Smooth Feature (Power Up Option Only)
When the input signal changes rapidly, “smoothing”
provides a steadier reading on the display.
To use the smooth feature:
1. Hold down while turning the Meter on. The
display will read “” until is released.
2. The smooth icon () will appear on the left side of
the display to let you know that smoothing is active.

XWWarning
To prevent possible electric shock, fire, or
personal injury:
• Do not use AutoHOLD mode to
determine that circuits are without
power. The AutoHOLD mode will not
capture unstable or noisy readings.
• Do not use the HOLD function to
measure unknown potentials. When
HOLD is turned on, the display does not
change when a different potential is
measured.
The AutoHOLD mode captures the present reading on
the display. When a new, stable reading is detected, the
Meter beeps and displays the new reading. To enter or
exit AutoHOLD mode, press
.
Relative Mode
Selecting relative mode () causes the Meter to zero
the display and store the present reading as the reference
for subsequent measurements. The Meter is locked into
the range selected when you pressed . Press
again to exit this mode.
In relative mode, the reading shown is always the
difference between the present reading and the stored
reference value. For example, if the stored reference
value is 15.00 V and the present reading is 14.10 V, the
display shows -0.90 V.
