MEP USER GUIDE
• Supply timeout is automatically extended if a
change in meter reading is detected or if any
button is pressed.
• 10 second bleep warning on instrument sounder
prior to end of supply timeout period.
• Last used scale is memorized at supply timeout
and automatically selected next time ON/OFF
button is pressed.
• Three LEDs (light emitting diodes) show selected
scale, indicate if HOLD/AUDIO selected and
provide warning of battery nearing end of useful
life.
• HOLD/AUDIO button freezes moving coil meter,
which facilitates readings taken out-of-sight.
• If HOLD/AUDIO was selected prior to supply
timeout, the frozen meter reading is digitally
memorized and restored next time ON/OFF is
selected.
If the battery voltage is getting low, the three
LEDs will flash sequentially for a short period.
The instrument will continue to operate for
some time but it is recommended that the
PP3 (9 volt) battery be changed as soon as
convenient.
