Power-On Option: Disable Automatic Power-off
Automatic Power-off extends the life of the battery by
turning part of the meter off if neither the rotary switch
nor a pushbutton is operated for half an hour.
(Automatic Power-off is not allowed in the MIN MAX
Recording or Data Output modes.) The meter turns
back on if either the rotary switch is turned or a
pushbutton is pressed.
H MMinimum (MIN), Maximum (MAX),
Average (AVG) Recording
Press Mto enter the MIN MAX Recording mode
(manual range only). Select the proper range before
selecting MIN MAX to ensure that the MIN MAX
reading will not exceed the measurement range. The
minimum, maximum, and average values are then
reset to the present input; the RECORD annunciator
turns on; the AUTO annunciator turns off; and the
automatic power-off feature is disabled.
In the MIN MAX Recording mode, the minimum and
maximum readings are stored in memory. The beeper
emits a tone when a new minimum or maximum value
is recorded. A continuous beeper tone is emitted
when an overload is recorded. Push Mto cycle
through the maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN),
average (AVG), and present readings. The MIN,
MAX, or AVG annunciator turns on to indicate what
value is being displayed. If an overload is recorded,
the averaging function is stopped and the average
value becomes OL (overload).
The true average of all the readings taken over at
least a thirty-six hour period can be displayed. If this
duration is exceeded, the actual minimum and
maximum readings will continue to be captured and
can be displayed. However, new averages are no
longer calculated. The last average calculated is
retained as the average reading.
At normal (default) record speed, changes to the
voltage, current, or resistance inputs that last at least
100 milliseconds are recorded, and the "100 ms"
annunciator turns on. Press and hold down the
Mfor 2 seconds to exit and erase recorded
readings.
In the MIN MAX mode, press Tto select the
Peak MIN MAX mode ("1 ms", "RECORD", and
"MAX" are displayed). Voltage or current inputs that
last for 1 milliseconds or longer are captured. Press
Mto select the minimum (MIN) reading. Press
