Frequency measurement
Info
You can measure the frequency using the clamp(1) or
the measuring cables.
Please proceed as follows to measure the frequency with the
measuring cables:
1. Connect the black measuring cable(14) to the
COMconnection(7) and the red measuring cable(13) to
the Input connection(6).
2. Turn the rotary switch(4) to the frequency position(37).
3. Repeatedly press the function button(34) until the unit for
the frequency is indicated in the respective section of the
display(22).
4. Connect the test probes(11) of the measuring cables to
the object to be measured.
ð The measured value will be displayed in the
measurement value display(24).
Please proceed as follows to measure the frequency with the
clamp:
• When holding onto the clamp meter, make sure not to
reach behind the protection against contact(12).
1. Turn the rotary switch(3) to the frequency position(37).
2. Squeeze the lever(9) to open the clamp(1) and insert the
conductor to be measured centrally in the clamp.
3. Use the clamping jaws' alignment marks on the clamp(1)
as guidance to properly centre the conductor.
ð The measured value will be displayed in the
measurement value display(24).
Duty cycle measurement
Info
The input voltage should range between 4Vp-p* and
10Vp-p.
*p-p= peak-to-peak value (peak amplitude value MIN to MAX)
Proceed as follows to determine the duty cycle of a frequency
measurement:
1. Connect the black measuring cable(14) to the
COMconnection(7) and the red measuring cable(13) to
the Input connection(6).
2. Turn the rotary switch(4) to the duty cycle position(38).
3. Repeatedly press the function button(34) until the unit per
cent is indicated in the respective section of the
display(21).
4. Connect the test probes(11) of the measuring cables to
the object to be measured.
ð The measured value will be displayed in the
measurement value display(24).
5. Press the function button twice to reset the measurement
value display(24).
Capacitance measurement
Warning of electrical voltage
Risk of electric shock and risk of injury when
measuring the capacitance!
Make sure that the electric circuit to be tested is
switched off and de-energized.
Info
When measuring capacitances of more than 10µF, it
might take up to about 30seconds until the device
displays a stable measurement result.
Info
Due to the stray capacitance of the test probes and the
consequent input circuit of the measuring device the
displayed value might not be equal to zero before the
test contacts have been connected to the capacitor to
be tested. This is perfectly normal and the displayed
measured value has to be subtracted from the
following measured values.
• When holding onto the measuring cables, make sure not to
reach behind the protection against contact(12).
Please proceed as follows to measure the capacitance:
ü The electrical circuit is deactivated.
ü All capacitors are completely discharged.
1. Connect the black measuring cable(14) to the
COMconnection(7) and the red measuring cable(13) to
the Input connection(6).
2. Turn the rotary switch(3) to the capacitance position(38).
3. Repeatedly press the function button(34) until the unit for
the capacitance is indicated in the respective section of the
display(23).
4. Connect the test probes(11) of the measuring cables to
the object to be measured.
ð The measured value will be displayed in the
measurement value display(24).
ð If necessary, wait until the measurement result has
stabilized.
