6 Intended use

Measures and displays electrical parameters in measurement category CAT III
(up to 600 V).
Complies with the EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-033 standards and all lower
categories.
Measures direct and alternating voltages up to 600 V
Measures direct and alternating currents up to 10 A
Frequency measuring up to 10 MHz
Measures capacitance up to 60 mF
Measures resistance up to 60 MΩ
Measures temperatures from -40 to +1000 °C
Continuity tests (<10 Ω acoustic)
Diode tests
Non-contact V/AC voltage detection (NCV)
The measurement modes are selected using the rotary dial. In many measurement
ranges, measurement range selection is automatic (except for continuity testing,
diode testing and current measurement ranges).
Effective (True RMS) measurements are displayed when measuring AC voltages/
currents with a frequency of up to 400 Hz. This ensures that sinusoidal and non-
sinusoidal voltage/currents are measured accurately.
Negative polarity readings are indicated with the (-) sign.
The 10 A current measurement input is equipped with a ceramic high-performance
fuse to protect against overloading. The voltage in the measurement circuit must
not exceed 600 V.
The mA/µA measurement input is equipped with 2x maintenance-free self-resetting
PTC fuse and one ceramic tube fuse, which can be used in the case of conventional
overload misoperation of less than about 5A, the current is limited and the meter
is well protected. When the meter is being used for mA/µA measurement, but the
meter is mistakenly connected to a high-energy high-voltage power supply, then the
ceramic tube fuse will work and probably blow to protect the meter. In such case, the
blown ceramic tube fuse is required to be replaced by a new one.
