MS8218 True RMS Multimeter
Introduction to the Meter
•
Automatic shutdown and the continuous operating mode: after the meter being turned on, in case of stopping to pressing
any key or stopping to turning the rotary switch for more than fifteen minutes, the meter will automatically shutdown. As
the meter will still consume a little energy after its automatic shutdown, so it is better to turn off the POWER switch if the
meter remains idle for a long time. If you want the meter to operate continuously without automatically turning off, it can be
done only just by pressing down the WAKE key at the same time when turning on the POWER switch.
•
Low voltage detection: when the meter detecting the total voltage of the batteries lower than 6.8V, the <t:3 symbol on the
LCD screen will be lighted to prompt the batteries should be replaced.
•
Analog indication bar: analog indication bar is used for graphic measurement value and it always synchronizes with the size
of the present measured value. During the maximum value/minimum value measurement and the relative value
measurement it sill synchronizes with the size of the present measured value, and not indicating the maximum
value/minimum value or the relative value.
•
RS-232C interface: press the HOLD key for two seconds and then release it, the meter will open the infrared interface for
sending the measured data and status to the RS-232C interface of computer. Equipped with record and graphic software
(options)the meter can display, record and describe the measured electric quantity on computer. As the data transmission
between the meter and computer is depending on light coupling, so measurement of high voltage will not affect the safety
of computer.
