option, repair at no charge, replace or refund the purchase price of a defective product
purchased through a Redsh Instruments, Inc. authorized sales outlet and at the applicable
international price. Redsh Instruments, Inc. reserves the right to charge for importation
costs of repair/replacement parts if the product purchased in one country is sent for repair
elsewhere. If the product is defective, contact your nearest Redsh Instruments authorized
service center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to that
service center, with a description of the difculty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB
Destination). Redsh Instruments, Inc. assumes no risk for damage in transit. Redsh

THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR ONLY REMEDY. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. REDFISH
INSTRUMENTS, INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS
OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY. AUTHORIZED RESELLERS
ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO EXTEND ANY DIFFERENT WARRANTY ON REDFISH
INSTRUMENTS, INC.’s BEHALF. Since some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages, this limitation of liability
may not apply to you. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by
a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision.
Registration
After the application connects to your iDVM, the application will ask that the meter be
registered. Registration can be completed entirely within the application and is the
suggested method of registering. If registration is completed via the application, there is
no need to register on the Redsh Instruments website. One or the other is sufcient to
register the device, and thus establish ownership and date of purchase

Safety Standard - IEC/EN61010-2
The iDVM 510 meets the safety standards of EN/UL/CSA 61010-1, 61010-2-030,
61010-2-033 for electronic testing instruments. This meter meets CAT III
1000V, CAT IV 600V installations and a pollution degree of 2. This safety
standard denes four over voltage categories based on the magnitude of
danger from transient impulses. CAT III meters are designed to protect against
transients in xed-equipment installations at the distribution panel including
“mains” bus, permanently installed loads, feeders, and branch circuits. While
CAT IV meters are designed to protect against transients at “the origin of
installation” utility level and outside environments.

“Warning” and “Caution” Statements
A “Warning” identies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause
bodily harm or death.
A “Caution” identies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter,
the equipment under test, or cause permanent loss of data.
Unsafe Voltage
To alert you to the presence of a potentially hazardous voltage, when the
Meter detects a voltage overload the OL symbol is displayed.
Test Lead Alert
To remind you to check that the test leads are in the correct terminals, a
warning is displayed on the application when you move the rotary switch to
or from the mA or A position.
Warning
Attempting to make a measurement with a test lead in an incorrect
terminal might blow a fuse, damage the Meter, and cause serious personal
injury. Damage to the Meter resulting from this behavior is not covered
under warranty. If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Warning
6
English
Use the Meter only as specied in this manual or the protection
provided by the Meter might be impaired.
Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the
Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
Always use the proper terminals, switch position, and range for
measurements.
Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter,
between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
Use caution with voltages above 30 V AC rms, 42 V AC peak, or
60 V DC. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance, diode function, or continuity.
Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
When using the test leads, keep your ngers behind the nger guards.
Do not open Meter enclosure as this will void the warranty.
Extended wireless connection to mobile device can cause the battery
on the Meter to drain rapidly.

Instrument Power ON & Setup
The iDVM 510 is a high resolution professional grade multimeter
capable of operating autonomously. Much of the remainder of the
manual is dedicated to describing the use of the multimeter in an
autonomous fashion.
The most unique feature of the iDVM 510 is its ability to wirelessly
connect to a mobile device (iOS or Android). When connected to a
mobile device the multimeter can capture and store up to 20,000 data
points over an extended period of time. As soon as the meter is turned
on via the selector switch, the Bluetooth module advertises its existence
for ninety seconds and is available for connection to a mobile device. If
the meter has been on for some time, depress the REC/Bluetooth button
and the meter will again advertise it’s existence for ninety seconds. On
the mobile device use your bluetooth settings to nd and pair with the
iDVM 510. Once paired, connection is permanent until either device is
turned off. The meter can be congured to view data as it is acquired,
store data, share data via email or dropbox, graph data, measure from a
distance and much more. The operation of the “app” is described within
the app itself. The help le for the app can also be downloaded from the
Redsh Instruments, Inc. website and printed.
The meter can log data with or without being connected to the mobile
device. Depress and hold the REC/Bluetooth button and the meter
will begin logging data to internal memory. The meter will use the last
logging parameters established in the preceding logging session.
Logging parameters are set in the app and described in detail in the
app help le. Generally, the user sets two of three parameters: number
of data points to be logged, duration of the logging session, or the
rate at which the data is acquired. Any two parameters dene the third
parameter within the context of the meters logging ability. To exit logging
mode depress and hold the REC/Bluetooth button or position the
selector switch to “off.”
The iDVM 510 has sophisticated battery management algorithms
including automatic power off (APO), power down during logging, and
deep sleep mode to improve battery lifetime. APO can be congured in
the app to be on or off as makes sense for the desired purpose. Deep
sleep modes and power down during logging is controlled internally and
is not available to the user.
