Frequently Asked Questions - RD701 Sanwa

How do I measure DC voltage with the RD701?

Set the rotary switch to the DC voltage range (V with straight and dashed lines). Insert the black lead into the COM jack and the red lead into the VΩ jack. Touch the probes to the circuit, and read the value on the LCD.

How do I replace the battery?

Turn off the multimeter and remove the test leads. Use a screwdriver to remove the battery compartment screw on the back. Replace the old 9V battery (6F22) with a new one, ensuring correct polarity. Replace the cover and screw.

What is the maximum voltage this meter can measure?

The RD701 can measure up to 600V DC and 600V AC. Exceeding this may damage the meter or cause injury.

How do I test continuity?

Set the rotary switch to the continuity setting (usually marked with a diode or sound wave symbol). Connect the test leads across the circuit. If the resistance is less than about 100Ω, the built-in buzzer will sound.

Does the RD701 have an auto power-off feature?

Yes, the meter will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

How do I measure resistance?

Set the rotary switch to the resistance range (Ω). Connect the black lead to COM and red lead to VΩ. Ensure the circuit is powered off. Touch the probes to the resistor leads and read the value.

Can I measure current without breaking the circuit?

No, to measure current you must break the circuit and connect the meter in series. Use the correct jacks (COM and mA or 10A) and select the appropriate current range.

What do the symbols on the display mean?

Common symbols include: DC (----), AC (~~~), low battery (battery icon), auto range (AUTO), data hold (H). Refer to the manual for a full description.

How do I use the data hold function?

Press the DATA HOLD button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release. This is useful when measuring in hard-to-see positions.

Is the RD701 safe for measuring household outlets?

Yes, the RD701 has a CAT I 600V rating, suitable for measuring low-energy circuits like household electronics. For mains wiring, a higher CAT rating (e.g., CAT II or III) is recommended.

4-10 Words

AC Sensing

Average RMS: RD700

When measurement is taken by "average", no error is caused as the input signal is shine wave with no distortion. However, if the input waveform is distorted sine cave or non-sinusoidal wave, conversion to root-mean-square values is very difficult, resulting in a large error.

AC coupling True RMS: RD701

When measurement is taken by true r.m.s., the measurement value of input signal becomes the scales of the signal power and therefore provide more effective values than those obtained by average value detection. This multimeter imploys this true RMS circuit, which enables measurement of sine wave and non-sinusoidal waves like square wave and triangular wave in r.m.s.

Crest Factor

The crest factor (CF) is expressed by a value obtained by dividing the peak value of the signal by its RMS value. Most common waveforms such as sine wave and triangular wave have a relatively low crest factor. The voltages and crest factors of typical waveforms are shown in the table.

Input Waveform	Peak Vp	RMS Vrms	Average Vavg	CF Vp/Vrms	Form Factor Vrms/Vavg
Sine WaveVp0	Vrms 2=1.414 Vrms	2 =0.707 Vp	2 Vp =0.637 Vp	2 =1.414 =	22 =1.111
Square Wave	Vp Vp	Vp 1 1
Triangular WaveVp0	Vrms· 3 =1.732 Vrms	3 =0.577 Vp	2 =0.5 Vp	3 =1.732 =	23 =1.155
Puls	Vp	2 ·Vp	2 ·Vp	2	2

NMRR (Normal Mode Rejection Ratio)

NMRR is the DMM's ability to reject unwanted AC noise effect, which causes inaccurate DC measurements. NMRR is typically specified in terms of dB (decibel). This series has a NMRR specification of >60 dB at 50 and 60 Hz, which means a good ability to reject the effect of AC noise in DC measurements.

CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio)

Common mode voltage is voltage present on both the COM and VOLTAGE input terminals of a DMM, with respect to ground. CMRR is the DMM's ability to reject common mode voltage effect, which causes digit rattle or offset in voltage measurements. This series has a CMRR specifications of >60 dB at DC to 60 Hz in ACV function; and >120 dB at DC, 50 and 60 Hz in DCV function.

5-2 Voltage measurement / Frequency measurement

WARNING

1. Never apply an input signal exceeding the maximum rating input value.

2. Be sure to disconnect the test pins from the circuit when changing the function.

3. Always keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probe when making measurements.

5-2-1 Voltage measurements

DC/ACV: Maximum rating input value 1000 VDC/AC

1) Applications

DCV: Voltage of the battery and DC circuit are measured.

ACV: Sine wave AC voltage such as lighting voltage is measured.

2) Measuring ranges

DCV & ACV: 5 ranges from 400.0 mV to 1000 V

3) Measurement procedure

① Connect the plug of black test lead to COM terminal and plug of red test lead to V terminal.
② Set the function switch to 'V ==' or 'V \~'.
③ Apply the red and black test pins to the circuit to measure.

For measurement of DCV, apply the black test pin to the negative potential side of the circuit to measure and the red test pin to the positive potential side.

For measurement of ACV, apply the red and black test pins to the circuit to measure.

④ The reading of Voltage is shown in the display.

⑤ After measurement, release the red and black test pins from the object measured.

Note:

1) AC 400.0 mV range selection is the manual operation switching by RANGE button.
2) It may fluctuate the value when the input terminal is opened, because the input impedance of DC/AC 400.0 mV range is 1000 MΩ. But this is not malfunction and there is not hindrance in measurement.
3) The accuracy is not specified from 0 to AC 10 mV (RD701: 0\~AC 40 mV) when the function was set up to the ACmV range.
4) The reading does not become 0 when the input terminal was shorted. But this does not bring about the influence to measurement.

5-2-2 Frequency measurement

1) Application

Frequency of an AC circuit is measured.

2) Measuring ranges

10.00 Hz to 1.000 MHz (Auto range)

3) Measurement procedure

② Set the function switch to 'Hz'.
③ Apply the red and black test pins to an object to measure.
④ The reading of Voltage is shown in the display.
⑤ After measurement, release the red and black test pins from the object measured.

Note: Operating input voltage: < 20 VAC rms.

Input Signal: Sine wave, or Square wave with duty cycle 40%\~70%

Sensitivity : 10 Hz\~20 kHz : > 0.9 Vrms

①Connect the plug of black test lead or '-' to COM input terminal and plug of red test lead or '+' to ADP input terminal.
② Set the function switch to 'ADP' and select either 'DC ÷ or 'AC \~' by pressing the SELECT button.
③ Open the clamp part, have electric wire (one line) clamped, and close the clamp part perfectly.
④ The reading is shown in the display. (1mV is indicated as 10 counts.)

- In case of a current clamp probe with 1mV output per 1 A, a display of '1000' counts on the display represents '100 A'.

⑤ After measurement, open the clamp part and release clamp probe from the electric wire.

[Adapter (ADP) indication example]

Accuracy calculation

For example... Measurement 400 mVDC Range

Display value : 100.0 [mV]

Accuracy : 400.0 [mV] Range...±(0.3 %rdg + 4 dgt)

Error : ±(100.0 [mV] 0.3 %rdg + 4 dgt) = ±0.7 [mV]

Calculation : 100.0 [mV] ± (100.0 [mV] 0.3 %rdg + 4 dgt)

True value : In a range of 099.3 [mV] \~ 100.7 [mV]

*4 [dgt] in the 400.0 [mV] range correspond to 0.4 [mV].

※Do not use the tester near places where strong electromagnetic waves and trance are generated or strong electrical voltages are generated.
