Performing frequency measurements
Measuring frequency
– Five ranges: 120.000 mV, 1.20000 V, 12.0000 V, 120.000 V, 750.00 V — range is
based on the voltage level of the signal, not frequency
– Measurement method: Reciprocal counting technique
– Signal level: 10% of range to full scale input on all ranges
– Gate time: 0.1 s or 1 period of the input signal, whichever is longer
– Input protection: 750 V RMS on all ranges
1 Press .
2 Connect the red and black test leads to the input terminal as shown in
Figure 1-14.
3 Probe the test points and read the display. In auto-ranging mode, the
multimeter automatically selects the appropriate range and the measurement
is displayed.

Use the frequency counter for low voltage applications. Do not use the
frequency counter on AC power line systems.
