1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. Precautions and safety measures

1.1.1. Before using

You have just acquired a DMM210 meter. Thank you for your confidence. It measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Frequency (electrical & electronic), and tests diodes and Continuity. It features a waterproof, rugged design for heavy duty use. Proper use and care of this meter 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 degree 2 environments

* In altitudes lower than 2,000 metres

* In temperatures ranging from 5°C to 40°C.

It can be used up to 1000 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 overcurrent protective devices between the transformer and connecting points of the measuring circuit.

DMM210 17

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

1.1.2. During use

• Never exceed the protection limiting values indicated in the specifications for each type of measurement.
• When the multimeter is connected to the circuits to be measured, do not touch any unused terminals.
• Before changing function, disconnect the measurement leads from the circuit measured.
  • Never measure resistances or test diodes, etc., on a live circuit.

1.1.3. Symbols

Refer to the user's manual

3.9 Autoranging/Manual range selection

When the multimeter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging and automatically selects the best range for the measurements being made. This is generally the best mode for most measurements. When manual range selection is necessary, proceed as follows:

1. Press the RANGE key. The "AUTO" display will turn off.
2. Press the RANGE key several times to scroll through the available ranges until the range you want is displayed.
3. To exit Manual selection mode and return to Autoranging, press and hold down the RANGE key for 2 seconds.

Manual ranging does not apply to frequency measurements.

3.10 MAX/MIN

When using the MAX/MIN function in Autoranging mode, the multimeter will "lock" into the range that is used when MAX/MIN is activated. If a MAX/MIN reading exceeds that range, an "OL" will be displayed. Select the adequate range BEFORE entering MAX/MIN mode.

1. Press the MAX/MIN key to activate the MAX/MIN measurement mode. The "MAX" is displayed. The meter will display and hold the maximum measurement until a new maximum value is measured.

2. Press the MAX/MIN key again to display the "MIN" icon. The multimeter will display and hold the minimum measurement until a new minimum value is measured.

3. To exit MAX/MIN mode press and hold the MAX/MIN key for 2 seconds.

3.11 Relative mode

Relative mode enables relative measurement results to be obtained in relation to a stored reference value. The displayed value is the difference between the stored reference value and the value measured.

1. Perform the measurement as described in the operating instructions.
2. Press the REL button to store the displayed measurement. The "REL" indicator is displayed.
3. The display will now indicate the difference between the stored reference value and the value measured.
4. Press the REL button to exit relative mode.

Relative mode does not apply to frequency measurements.

3.12 Backlighting

Press and hold down the HOLD key for >1 second to turn on or off the screen's backlighting. The backlighting will automatically turn off after 10 seconds.

3.13 HOLD

The hold function freezes display of the current value. Briefly press the HOLD key to activate or disable the HOLD function.

3.14 Auto power OFF

The auto off function turns off the multimeter after 15 minutes. To disable this function, hold down the MODE button when turning on the multimeter.

3.15 Low battery indication

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

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 meter 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 measurement leads 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 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 is not working properly, check the fuses and batteries to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted.

4.2 Replacing the fuses

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

1. Disconnect the test leads from the multimeter.
2. Remove the battery cover (two "B" screws) and the battery.
3. Remove the six "A" screws securing the rear panel.
4. Gently remove the old fuse and install the new fuse.
5. Always use a fuse of the proper size and value (0.8A/1000V fast blow for the 600mA range [SIBA 70-172-40], 10A/1000V fast blow for the 20A range [SIBA 50-199-06]).
