Description

The Greenlee DM-200A, DM-210A, and DM-510A Digital Multimeters are hand-held testing devices with the following measurement capabilities: AC and DC voltage, AC and DC current, frequency, and resistance. They also check diodes and verify continuity. An optional optically isolated computer interface with software facilitates the recording of readings from the meter to a computer.

Other specialized capabilities and functions common to all meters include:

• Backlighted LCD for reading in dim conditions.
• Beep-Jack™ audible warning alerts the user with a beep and an error message on the LCD if the test lead is plugged into the mA/μA or A input terminal while the selector switch is not in the mA/μA or A position.
• Non-contact and single-probe voltage detection capability.
• Bar graph display, which responds more quickly than the numeric display — useful for detecting faulty contacts, potentiometer clicks, and signal spikes.
• Relative zero mode.
  Data hold mode
• Selectable automatic power off.

The DM-210A and DM-510A multimeters have the following additional capabilities: temperature (K-type thermocouples only) and capacitance.

The DM-510A multimeter has an AutoCheck™ function for automatic selection of AC voltage, DC voltage, and resistance with low input impedance to mask "ghost" voltages. The DM-510A also has a crest function, which captures voltage or current signal peaks, as well as a recording function, which stores the maximum and minimum input readings. The DM-510A is a true RMS meter.

Use the V or A settings for measuring the frequency of sinusoidal waveforms. Use the mV setting for measuring the frequency of 3 volt or 5 volt logic level, square waveform signals.

The sensitivity of the frequency measurement function varies with the measurement range. To automatically select a sensitivity level, measure the voltage or current first, and then press Hz . If the reading becomes unstable or reads zero, press the RANGE button to select a different sensitivity level.

The number of bar graph elements indicates the sensitivity selected:

• 1 element = 6 V, 6 A, 60 mA, or 600 μA
• 2 elements = 60 V, 10 A, 600 mA, or 6000 μA
• 3 elements = 600 V

• 4 elements = 1000 V

• HOLD H: Press momentarily to hold the present value on the display. Press again to exit this mode. This feature does not affect the bar graph.

• EF: Set the meter to any current or voltage function. Press and hold until the meter beeps to detect the electric field that surrounds current-carrying conductors. Signal strength is displayed as a series of dashes on the display.

• Use the tester's built-in antenna (located along the top, near the LCD) for tracing live circuits or locating a break in a wire.

• For more precision, such as distinguishing between current-carrying and ground wires, connect a test lead to the V input terminal and use it as a probe for direct contact verification of AC voltage.

• Automatic Power Off: To extend battery life, the meter will shut itself off after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. To restore power, press either the SELECT, CREST, or REC button or turn the selector to OFF and then back on. To disable this feature, press SELECT while turning the meter on.

• Low Impedance AutoCheck™ Mode: In this mode, the meter automatically selects the proper measurement based on the input.

• If there is no input, "Auto" appears on the display.

• If the voltage is above approximately 1 volt AC or DC, voltage is displayed.
• If both AC and DC voltages are present, the larger voltage is displayed.
• If no voltage is present and there is resistance less than approximately 10M , resistance is displayed. If the measured resistance is below the continuity threshold (between 10 and 80 ), then the continuity tone will sound.

This mode features low input impedance to mask stray or "ghost" voltage pickup. The input impedance is approximately 2.5k at low voltage, increasing to approximately 375k at 1000V .

The symbol "LoZ" indicates that the meter is in a low impedance mode. Do not use the AutoCheckTM mode on circuits that could be damaged or activated by such low input impedance. Instead use the selector to select the high impedance AC or DC volts modes to minimize loading for such circuits.

Range-Lock and Function Feature: While in the AutoCheck™ mode, press the SELECT button momentarily to lock the displayed function. Press the RANGE button momentarily to lock the displayed measurement range. Press either button repeatedly to step through the ranges or functions.

Energized Circuit Alert: If the resistance mode is locked in the AutoCheck™ mode and the leads are placed across an energized circuit, the meter will emit an audible warning tone.

• REC: Press momentarily to activate the MAX/MIN recording mode. The input value is measured every 50 ms in this mode. "MAX MIN" will appear on the display. The LCD will display the actual input value. The meter will beep whenever the maximum or minimum is updated. Press repeatedly to select the desired display: maximum, minimum, or actual input. Press and hold to exit this mode.

The automatic power off feature is disabled when using this function.

• CREST: Press momentarily to activate the crest recording mode. The input value is measured every 5 ms in this mode. And "MAX" will appear on the display. The LCD will display the maximum crest value. Press repeatedly to select the desired display: maximum or minimum crest value. Press and hold to exit this mode.

Automatic ranging and automatic power off are disabled when using this function.

AC Measurement

AC measurements are usually displayed as RMS (root mean square) values. The RMS value is equal to the value of a DC waveform, which would deliver the same power if it replaced the time-varying waveform. Two AC measurement methods are average-responding RMS calibrated and true RMS-reading.

The average-responding RMS calibrated method takes the average value of the input signal after full wave rectification, multiplies it by 1.11, and displays the result. This method is accurate if the input signal is a pure sine wave. The DM-200A and DM-210A are average-responding meters.

The true RMS-reading method uses internal circuitry to read the true RMS value. This method is accurate, within the specified crest factor limitations, whether the input signal is a pure sine wave, square wave, triangle wave, half wave, or signal with harmonics. The ability to read true RMS provides much more measurement versatility. The DM-510A is a true RMS meter.

The Waveforms and Crest Factors table shows some typical AC signals and their RMS values.

Waveforms and Crest Factors

Waveform
RMS Value 100	100 100 100
Average Value 90	100 87 64
Crest Factor* (ξ)	1.414 1 1.73	2

• The crest factor is the ratio of the peak value to the RMS value; it is represented by the Greek letter .

*Noise rejection is the ability to reject unwanted signals, or noise.

• Normal mode voltages are AC signals that can cause inaccurate DC measurements. NMRR (Normal Mode Rejection Ratio) is a measure of the ability to filter out these signals.

• Common mode voltages are signals present at the COM and + input terminals, with respect to ground, that can cause digit rattle or offset in voltage measurements. CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) is a measure of the ability to filter out these signals.

Measurement Categories

These definitions were derived from the international safety standard for insulation coordination as it applies to measurement, control, and laboratory equipment. These measurement categories are explained in more detail by the International Electrotechnical Commission; refer to either of their publications: IEC 61010-1 or IEC 60664.

Measurement Category I
