Description
6000 counts, updates 4 x second
33 segments, updates 40 x second
Automatically turns off after 2 minutes to save battery life
The timeout feature can be disabled with a power-up option
HOLD: freezes the display at the push of a button
Auto HOLD: Display holds present reading until it detects new stable input,
then the meter beeps and displays new reading

For DC functions, accuracy is the specified of the measurement function
±
12 counts for changes
longer than 275 ms in duration.
For AC functions, accuracy is the specified of the measurement function
±
40 counts for changes
longer than 1.2 s in duration.
1. All AC voltage and AC current ranges are specified from 5 % of range to 100 % of range.
2. Crest factor of
≤
3 at full scale up to 500 V, decreasing linearly to crest factor
≤
1.5 at 1000 V.
3. In the 9999
µF
range for measurements to 1000
µF,
the measurement accuracy is 1.2 % for all models.
4. In mA and A ranges, frequency measurement is specified to 30 kHz.
5. Frequency < 10 kHz are not specified in 600 mV AC, 60 mA AC, and 6 A AC ranges.
