Frequently Asked Questions - DMM230 MULTIMETRIX

How to measure DC voltage with the DMM230?
Set the switch to VDC. Connect the black lead to COM and the red lead to V+. Apply the probes to the circuit. The reading is displayed. Do not measure during motor start/stop.
How to disable auto power off?
Press and hold the MODE button while turning on the device. The auto power off icon disappears.
What to do if the screen displays 'OL'?
'OL' means the measurement exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range or use auto range (AUTO).
How to replace the battery?
Turn off the device and disconnect the leads. Open the battery compartment at the back by removing the two screws. Replace the 9V battery, respecting polarity. Close the compartment.
Which fuses to use for the DMM230?
Use a fast-acting fuse 0.8A/1000V for mA/µA ranges and a fast-acting fuse 10A/1000V for the 10A/20A range. References SIBA 70-172-40 and 50-199-06.
Can the multimeter measure temperature?
Yes, set the switch to Temp. Connect the type K probe (with included adapter) to the COM and +Temp terminals. Press MODE to select °C or °F.
How to use the MAX/MIN function?
Press MAX/MIN to display the maximum value. Press again to display the minimum. Hold for 2 seconds to exit. Lock the range before activation if needed.
What is the DC voltage accuracy?
For ranges up to 600V: ±(0.09% reading + 2 digits). Above (1000V): ±(0.15% reading + 2 digits). Accuracy valid from 18°C to 28°C, RH < 75%.
How to test a diode with the DMM230?
Set the switch to Ω →→ ➤. Connect the leads to COM and +. Press MODE to display the diode symbol. Measure across the diode. Typical forward voltage 0.4-0.7V, reverse shows 'OL'.
What does the IP67 protection rating mean?
IP67 ensures total dust tightness and resistance to immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, thoroughly dry the device (including terminals) before use.

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Precautions and safety measures

1.1.1 Before using

You have just acquired a DMM230 RMS multimeter. Thank you for your confidence. It measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Frequency (electrical & electronic), and test diodes and Continuity. It features a waterproof, rugged design for heavy duty use. Proper use and care of this multimeter will provide many years of reliable service. This multimeter complies with the IEC 61010-1 and IEC 61010-2-033 standards concerning electronic measurement instruments. For your own safety and to prevent damage to the instrument, follow the instructions in this manual.

Be careful to adhere to storage conditions.

This handheld autonomous instrument was designed for:

- Indoor use

- Use in pollution 2 degree environments

- In altitudes lower than 2,000 meters

- In temperatures ranging from 5°C to 40°C

- It can be used up to 1,000 V on category III circuits or 600 V on category IV circuits.

MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES (IEC 61010-2-033)

CAT II: MEASUREMENT CATEGORY II is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected directly to utilization points (socket outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the installation is expected to have a minimum of two levels of overcurrent protective devices between the transformer and the connecting points of the measuring circuit.

Example : measurements on MAINS CIRCUITS of household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.

CAT III: MEASUREMENT CATEGORY III is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected to the distribution part of the building's low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the installation is expected to have a minimum of one level of over-current protective devices between the transformer and possible connecting points.

Example : measurements on distribution boards (including secondary electricity meters), circuitbreakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket -outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment such as stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

CAT IV: MEASUREMENT CATEGORY IV is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected at the source of the building's low-voltage MAINS installation. This part of the installation could have no over-current protective devices between the transformer and connecting points of the measuring circuit.

Example : measurements on devices installed before the main fuse or circuit breaker in the building installation.

The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key briefly to activate or disable the HOLD function.

3.16 AUTO POWER OFF

The auto off feature will turn the multimeter off after 15 minutes. To disable the auto power off feature, hold down the MODE key when the multimeter is turned on.

3.17 Low battery indication

The 📋 icon will appear in the lower left corner of the screen when battery voltage becomes low. Replace the battery when this icon appears.

4. MAINTENANCE

To avoid electric shocks, disconnect the measurement leads from any source of voltage before opening the instrument or battery compartment. Do not use the instrument when it is open or without locking the battery compartment cover.

This multimeter is designed to provide years of reliable service, if the following care instructions are followed:

  1. Keep the multimeter dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry.
  2. Use and store the multimeter in normal temperatures. Extreme temperatures can shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts.
  3. Handle the multimeter gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the electronic parts or the case.
  4. Keep the multimeter clean. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth. DO NOT use chemical substances, cleaning solvents, or detergents.
  5. Use only new batteries of the recommended size and type. Remove the old or used battery so it does not leak and damage the instrument.
  6. If the multimeter is to be stored for a long period of time, the battery should be removed to prevent damage to the unit.

4.1 Battery installation

To avoid electric shocks, disconnect the leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery cover.

  1. Turn power off and disconnect the test leads from the multimeter.
  2. Open the battery cover on the rear panel by removing the two screws (B) using a Phillips head screwdriver.
  3. Insert the battery into battery holder, observing the correct polarity.

  4. Put the battery cover back in place. Screw back down.

If your multimeter does is not working properly, check the fuses and batteries to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted.
