SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety
information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper
handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or
damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
a) Persons / Product
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous
playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, ammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect
it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can
damage the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are
connected to the product.
b) Batteries / Rechargeable batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
• Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to
avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns
when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted
batteries.
• Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as
there is risk, that children or pets swallow it.
• Batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into re. Never recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
c) Miscellaneous
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
• Maintenance, modications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert
or at a qualied shop.

OPERATION
The multimeter (referred to as DMM in the following) indicates measured values on the digital display.
The measuring value display of the DMM spans 2000 counts with VC135 (count = smallest display
value). The measuring device can be used for do-it-yourself or for professional applications (up to
CAT III 600 V). For better readability, the DMM can also be mounted with the clip on the rear.
29
a) Rotary switch (5)
The individual measuring functions are selected via a rotary switch. The measuring range can be
selected manually with this switch.
b) Turning the measuring device on and off
The DMM are turned on and off via the rotary switch (5). When the rotary switch (5) is set to “OFF”, the
DMM is turned off. Always turn the measuring device off when it is not in use.
Prior to working with the measuring device, you rst have to insert the enclosed batteries.
A 9 V block battery is required for voltage supply. This is part of the delivery. Insert the battery as
described in the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
STARTING THE MEASUREMENT
Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values. Do not contact circuits or parts
of circuits if there could be voltages higher than 25 V ACrms or 35 V DC present
within them. Mortal danger!
Before measuring, check the connected measuring lines for damage such as, for
example, cuts, cracks or squeezing. Defective measuring cables must no longer be
used. Mortal danger!
During measuring, do not grip beyond the tangible grip range markings present
on the test prods.
You may only connect the two measuring leads to the measuring device that are
required for measuring operation. Remove all measuring leads not required from
the device for safety reasons.
As soon as “1” (towards the left side of the display) appears on the display, you have exceeded
the measuring range. Select the next higher measuring range
The voltage range „V/DC“ has an input resistance of >10 MΩ, the V/AC range of >4.5 MΩ.
With the digital multimeter, the automatic range selection (auto range) is active in all measuring
functions (except for currency measuring ranges). This function sets the right measuring range
automatically.
30
a) Voltage measuring “V”
Before measuring voltages, always make sure that the measuring instrument is not
set to a measuring range for current.
Proceed as follows to measure DC voltages “DC” (V ):
1. Turn the DMM on and select the measuring range “V ” with the rotary switch (5). The values on
the rotary switch (5) indicates the maximum measurement value of that selection.
2. Insert the red measuring lead into the V socket (8) and the black measuring lead into the COM
socket (9).
3. Now connect the two measuring prods to the object to be measured (battery, switch etc.).
4. The red measuring tip indicates the positive pole, the black measuring tip the negative pole.
5. The polarity of the respective measuring value is indicated on the together with the current
measuring value. The unit of the measurement is V.
As soon as a minus “-” appears for the direct voltage in front of the measuring value, the
measured voltage is negative (or the measuring tips have been mixed up).
6. After measuring, remove the measuring leads from the measuring object and turn the DMM off.
Turn the rotary switch to the position “OFF” .
Proceed as follows to measure AC voltages (V~):
1. Put the DMM into operation as described in the section “Measuring of direct voltage” and select
the measuring range “V “.
2. Now connect the two measuring leads to the object to be measured (generator, switch etc.).
3. The measuring value is indicated on the display. The unit of the measurement is V.
4. After measuring, remove the measuring leads from the measuring object and turn the DMM off.
Turn the rotary switch to the position “OFF”.
b) Current measuring (A , only in VC155)
The voltage in the measuring circuit may not exceed 250 V.
Measuring operations of >5 A may only be performed for at most 10 seconds with a
subsequent measuring pause of 15 minutes.
All current measuring ranges are provided with fuses and thus protected against
overload.
