Frequently Asked Questions - DVM2000 VELLEMAN

How to measure DC voltage with the DVM2000?

Turn the selector to the V (DC) position. Connect the black probe to COM and the red probe to VΩmA. Place the tips on the points to measure. Read the value on the display.

How to measure AC current?

Turn the selector to the A~ position. Connect the black probe to COM and the red probe to 10A (for high current) or VΩmA (for low current). Open the circuit and insert the multimeter in series. Read the value.

How to test continuity of a wire?

Turn the selector to the ⦏⦐ (continuity) position. Connect the probes to COM and VΩmA. Place the tips at the ends of the wire. If the circuit is continuous, a beep sounds.

How to measure resistance?

Turn the selector to the Ω position. Connect the probes to COM and VΩmA. Place the tips on each side of the resistor. Read the value. Make sure the component is not powered.

How to change the battery of the DVM2000?

Turn off the device and remove the test leads. Open the battery compartment on the back. Replace the used 9 V battery with a new one (type 6F22). Close the compartment.

What does the display 'OL' mean?

'OL' means Overload. It indicates that the measured value exceeds the selected range. Select a higher range if necessary.

How to use the temperature measurement function?

Turn the selector to the °C / °F position. Connect the type K thermocouple to the COM and VΩmA jacks (respect polarity). Place the probe on the object to measure. Read the temperature.

What safety precautions should be taken?
