Frequently Asked Questions - DVM895 VELLEMAN

What battery to use for the DVM895?
The multimeter uses a 9 V 6F22 battery. Observe polarity when replacing.
How to replace the fuse of the DVM895?
Disconnect the leads, open the battery compartment, replace the defective fuse with a fuse of the same specification: 0.5 A/600 V (5x20 mm) or 15 A/600 V (6x32 mm). Close carefully.
What to do if the display shows '1' or '-1'?
This means the measurement is out of range. Select a higher range with the rotary switch.
Can you measure voltage on a live circuit?
Yes, but with caution. Do not exceed 600 V. Always keep your fingers behind the probe guards. Disconnect the live wire first after measurement.
How to measure a high current (up to 15 A)?
Use the '15A' jack for the red lead. Continuous measurement must not exceed 15 seconds. For lower currents, use the 'mA' jack.
The backlight does not work, what to do?
Press the 'LIGHT' button to activate it. If nothing happens, check the battery status. A low level may reduce brightness.
How to test a diode with the DVM895?
Set the selector to the diode symbol. Connect the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode. The display shows the approximate forward voltage (about 0.6 V for a silicon diode).
What is the DC voltage accuracy?
Accuracy is ±(0.5% of reading + 2 digits) for ranges 200 mV to 200 V, and ±(0.8% + 2 digits) for 600 V.
Can I measure a capacitor without discharging it?
No, you must fully discharge the capacitor before measurement. Otherwise, you risk damaging the multimeter or causing an electric shock.
What does the symbol 'CAT IV 300 V' on the device mean?
This indicates the maximum overvoltage category. CAT IV is suitable for measurements on primary power supplies. Do not exceed 300 V in CAT IV and 600 V in CAT III.

VELLEMAN DVM895 - During Use - 1

Risk of electric shock during operation. Be very careful when measuring live circuits.

  • If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
  • Never exceed the limit value for protection. This limit value is listed separately in the specifications for each range of measurement.
  • Do not touch unused terminals when the meter is linked to a circuit which is being tested.
  • Never use the meter with CAT III installations when measuring voltages that might exceed the safety margin of 600 V above earth ground. Never use the meter with CAT IV installations when measuring voltages that might exceed the safety margin of 300 V above earth ground.
  • Set the range selector at its highest position if the intensity of the charge to be measured is unknown beforehand.
  • Disconnect the test leads from the tested circuit before rotating the range selector in order to change functions.
  • When carrying out measurements on a TV set or switching power circuits, always remember that the meter may be damaged by any high amplitude voltage pulses at test points.
  • Always be careful when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during measurement.
  • Never perform resistance, diode or continuity measurements on live circuits. Make sure all capacitors in the circuit are depleted.

7. Overvoltage/Installation Category

DMMs are categorized depending on the risk and severity of transient overvoltage that might occur at the point of test. Transients are short-lived bursts of energy induced in a system, e.g. caused by lightning strike on a power line.

The existing categories according EN 61010-1 are:

CAT IIA CAT II-rated meter is suitable for measurements in CAT I-environments and mono-phase appliances that are connected to the mains by means of a plug and circuits in a normal domestic environment, provided that the circuit is at least 10 m apart from a CAT III- or 20 m apart from a CAT IV-environment. E.g. household appliances, portable tools...
CAT IIIA CAT III-rated meter is suitable for measurements in CAT I- and CAT II-environments, as well as for measurements on (fixed) mono-or poly-phased appliances which are at least 10 m apart from of a CAT IV-environment, and for measurements in or on distribution level equipment (fuse boxes, lighting circuits, electric ovens).
CAT IVA CAT IV-rated meter is suitable for measuring in CAT I-, CAT II-and CAT III-environments as well as on the primary supply level. Note that for all measurements on equipment for which the supply cables run outdoors (either overhead or underground) a CAT IV meter must be used.

Warning:

This device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1 installation category CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 300 V. This implies that certain restrictions in use apply that are related to voltages and voltage peaks which can occur within the environment of use. Refer to the table above.

VELLEMAN DVM895 - Warning: - 1

This device is only suitable for measurements up to 600 V in CAT III and up to 300 V in CAT IV

8. Pollution Degree

IEC 61010-1 specifies different types of pollution environments, for which different protective measures are necessary to ensure safety. Harsher environments require more protection, and the protection against the pollution which is to be found in a certain environment depends mainly on the insulation and the enclosure properties. The pollution degree rating of the DVM indicates in which environment the device may be used.

DVM895

Pollution degree 1No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence. (only to be found in hermetically sealed enclosures)
Pollution degree 2Only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected.(home and office environments fall under this category)
Pollution degree 3Conductive pollution occurs, or dry nonconductive pollution occurs that becomes conductive due to condensation that is to be expected.(industrial environments and environments exposed to outside air - but not in contact with precipitation)
Pollution degree 4The pollution generates persistent conductivity caused by conductive dust or by rain or snow. (exposed outdoor environments and environments where high humidity levels or high concentrations of fine particles occur)

Warning: This device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1 pollution degree 2. This implies that certain restrictions in use apply that are related to pollution which can occur within the environment of use. Refer to the table above.

VELLEMAN DVM895 - Pollution Degree - 1

This device is only suitable for measurements in Pollution degree class 2 environments.

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock always disconnect the test leads prior to opening the housing. To prevent fire hazards, only use fuses with the same ratings as specified in this manual. Remark: refer to the warning on the battery compartment

VELLEMAN DVM895 - Battery and Fuse Replacement - 2

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device. Refer to an authorized dealer for service and/or spare parts.

DVM895

VELLEMAN DVM895 - DVM895 - 1

Equipment must be isolated or disconnected from the HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage before access (referring to battery replacement by operator).

  • When" " is displayed, the battery should be replaced.
  • Fuses rarely need replacement and blown fuses almost always result from human error.

To replace the battery:

  • Switch off the meter.
  • Remove the screw at the back of the case and gently open the housing.
  • Remove the old battery and insert a new one.
  • Close the housing and fasten the screw.

Battery: 1 x 9 V 6F22, make sure to respect the polarity

Fuses: 0.5 A/500 VAC/600 VDC, 5 x 20 mm, 15 A/1000 VAC/600 V, 6 x 32 mm

Make sure the meter is closed tight and put the protective edge back in place before using the meter.

12. Troubleshooting

If the device acts abnormal while measuring, this means that the internal fuse is defective.

Keep in mind that a low battery level could lead to incorrect measurements. Replace the battery on a regular basis.

(Tip: the reduced luminosity of the backlight/LCD display indicates a low battery level.)

- Articles to be repaired must be delivered to your Velleman® dealer, solidly packed (preferably in the original packaging), and be completed with the original receipt of purchase and a clear flaw description.

- Hint: In order to save on cost and time, please reread the manual and check if the flaw is caused by obvious causes prior to presenting the article for repair. Note that returning a non-defective article can also involve handling costs.
