Automatic or Manual Measuring Range Selection
Measured quantities are selected by means of a rotary switch and 
a function key. The measuring range is automatically matched to 
the measured values. The measuring range can also be selected 
and fixed manually with a key.
Fast Acoustic Continuity Test
Testing for short circuiting and interruption is possible with the 
selector switch in the   position. The threshold value for 
acoustic signaling can be set to 1, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 90 Ω.
Automatic Storage of Measured Values *
The DATA function automatically saves the digitally displayed 
measured value after settling in. Acoustic signaling is also used to 
indicate whether the new measured value deviates from the initial 
reference value by less or more than 0.1% of the measuring 
range.
* Patented
Storage of Min-Max Values
Comparable to the slave-pointer function of an analog instrument, 
the device saves the highest and lowest measured values after 
the MIN/MAX function has been activated or reset. These 
extreme values can be queried at the display.
Battery Charging Status – Power Saving Circuit
The battery charging status is indicated by means of four symbols.
The device is switched off automatically if the measured value 
remains unchanged for a period of between 10 and 59 minutes 
(adjustable), and if none of the controls are activated during this time. 
Automatic shutdown can be deactivated by switching the 
instrument to continuous operation.
METRAHIT⏐X-TRA⏐OUTDOOR: The infrared interface can be switched 
off in the standby mode.
Protective Cover for Harsh Conditions
The instrument is protected against damage in the event of impacts 
or dropping by means of a soft rubber cover with tilt stand and test 
probe holder. The rubber material also assures that the instrument 
does not wander if it is set up on a vibrating 
surface.
Infrared Data Interface with METRAHIT⏐X-TRA⏐OUTDOOR
The device can be remote configured, and momentary and stored 
measurement data can be read out via the bidirectional infrared 
interface. The USB⏐X-TRA interface adapter and METRAwin 10 soft-
ware are required to this end (see accessories). Interface 
protocol and device driver software for LabVIEW
®
 (National 
Instruments™) are available upon request.
DKD Calibration Certificate
The multimeters are furnished with an internationally valid DKD 
calibration certificate (recognized by EA and ILAC). A
fter the 
specified calibration interval has elapsed (recommended interval: 
1 to 3 years), the multimeters can be inexpensively recalibrated in 
our own DKD calibration laboratory.
