s and

should be measured with great care.

DVM9912 VELLEMAN

NOTE: In some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not connected to a device, the display may

show a random, changing reading. This is normal and is caused by the high input sensitivity. The

reading will stabilise and give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit.

MODE BUTTON

To select Diode/Continuity, DC/AC, Hz/%Duty

RANGE BUTTON

When the meter is turned on for the first time, it automatically goes into Autoranging mode. This mode

automatically selects the best range for the measurements and is generally the best mode for most

measurements. For measurements situations that require a manually selected range, perform the following

actions:

1. Press the RANGE button. The “AUTO” indication on the display will disappear.

2. Press the RANGE button to go through the available ranges and you select the range you want.

3. Press and hold the RANGE button for 2 seconds to exit the ManualRanging mode and return to

AutoRanging.

DATA HOLD BUTTON

The data hold function allows the meter to “freeze” a measurement for later reference.

1. Press the DATA HOLD button to freeze the reading on the display. The indicator “HOLD” will appear on the

display.

2. Press DATA HOLD again to return to normal operation.

RELATIVE BUTTON

The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored reference value. A

reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements made in comparison to that value. The

displayed value is the difference between the reference value and the measured value.

1. Perform any measurement as described in the operating instructions.

2. Press the RELATIVE button to store the reading in the display and the “REL” indicator will appear on the

display.

3. The display will now indicate the difference between the stored value and the measured value.
