4 Setting into Operation

GB
1) If batteries have not yet been inserted, please read at first chap-
ter 6 "Replacing of Batteries or Fuse". However, for a measure-
ment of voltages or currents no battery is necessary.
2) Adjust the mechanical zero point of the instrument:
Place the unit in horizontal position, and set the range switch (1)
to position "OFF". Adjust the scale pointer to zero of the black
scale "DC" with the screw (7). For this use the mirror scale (5):
with one eye look onto the mirror scale in such a way that the
pointer and its reflected image cover each other.
3) To obtain a favourable reading angle, the unit can be set up in
inclined position by means of the set-up bracket (MT-200: set-
up bracket at the rear side of the unit; MT-300: combined carry-
ing/set-up bracket). For exact measurements the instrument
must, however, be operated in horizontal position.
4) Always plug the black test lead into the left jack "
and the red test lead into the right jack "
measurements in the 10 A DC current range into the jack
"DC 10A" (9).
5) Set the range switch (1) to the desired range.
6) After the operation always set the range switch to position
"OFF". Thus, while transporting the unit, the pointer movements
will be reduced.
If the instrument will not be used for a longer period of time,
the batteries should be taken out of the unit. In case the bat-
teries should leak, the unit will not be damaged.

5 Carrying out Measurements

— With unknown measuring values always select the largest
measuring range, and then switch down to a lower range, if
necessary. Otherwise the meter may be overloaded and
damaged.
— For exact measurements operate the unit in horizontal position
and use the mirror scale (5): look vertically onto the mirror scale
with one eye in such a way that the pointer and its reflected
image cover each other. Only by this a parallax-free reading will
be guaranteed.
