• Using the rotary switch (1) select
the corresponding measurement
range “600,...,10 V AC”.
• Connect the multimeter and take
a reading from the V, A AC scale.
3.4 Current measurement
• When taking any current measure-
ments connect the multimeter in
series to the load in the circuit,
which has the least potential with
respect to ground.
• Measurements conducted in the 3
A range may not take longer than
1 min.

• Connect the multimeter and take
a reading on the V, A, DC scale.

• Using the rotary switch (1) select
the corresponding measurement
range “x 100 Ω,..., x 1 Ω”.
• Connect the multimeter and take
a reading on the Ù scale.
• When performing measurement
on semiconductors use the follow-
ing terminals: positive pole con-
nected to “COM” and negative pole
connected “

A, Ω”.
• Resistance measurement is carried
out using the DC voltage from the
battery being used. Since the bat-
tery is under extreme loading dur-
ing measurements in the “x 1 Ω”
range, the measurement should
only be of a brief duration.
• Only measure zero-voltage ele-
ments due to the fact that exter-
nal voltages falsify measured val-
ues.
• When resistances measurements
are carried out involving longer
periods and switchover to other
measurement ranges is complete
check for 0 Ω full scale deflection
and adjust, if necessary.
