Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum current measurement range?

The meter can measure up to 1000A DC/AC.

How do I perform a DC Zero measurement?

Select ADC, press the DC ZERO button with no conductor in the jaw, and hold the button until 'ZERO' disappears to exit.

What is the temperature range for the Type K thermocouple?

The range is -20 to 250°C (-4 to 482°F).

When does the continuity test sound a tone?

A tone sounds if the resistance is less than 40 Ω.
