— If possible, choose a measuring range for which the value can be
read in the upper third of the scale. Here the accuracy is optimum.
5.1 Voltage measurement
Be especially careful with measurements from 42 V on. By no
means touch the measuring object or the test lead tips.
The voltage to be measured at maximum must not exceed
1000 V~/ . Otherwise there will be danger of life for the user!
1) The red test lead must be connected to the jack "
2) For AC voltages set the range switch (1) to one of the ranges
"AC V", for DC voltages to one of the ranges "DC V"; the best
way is to start with the 1000 V range.
3) Keep the test lead tips at the object to be measured; with DC
voltage watch in any case the correct polarity: red measuring tip
at the positive pole, black measuring tip at the negative pole.
4) With AC voltages read the value from the red scale "AC" and
with DC voltages at the black scale "DC". If with DC voltages
the pointer deflects negatively (to the left), the polarity is not
correct: the test lead tips must be changed at the measuring
points.
5.2 DC current measurement
The DC current to be max. measured must not exceed 10 A.
The 10 A measuring current circuit is not fused. Be especially
careful here.
If the range switch (1) is in the DC current range, do not feed the
multimeter with any voltage. The multimeter and the voltage
source may be damaged.
1) With DC currents between 300 mA (MT-300) resp. 500 mA (MT-
200) and 10 A plug the red test lead into the jack "DC 10A" (9)
and turn the range switch (1) to the position "DC 10A".
With DC currents up to 300 mA (MT-300) resp. 500 mA (MT-
200) plug the red test lead into the jack "
the range switch to one of the ranges "DC A"; the best way is to
start with the range 300 mA (MT-300) resp. 500 mA (MT-200).
2) Open up the current circuit to be measured. Connect the red
test lead tip with the positive point and the black with the nega-
tive point.
