MAKING MEASUREMENTS
Verify Instrument Operation
Before attempting to make a measurement, verify that
the instrument is operational and the battery is good. If
the instrument is not operational, have it repaired before
attempting to make a measurement.
Range Selection
In addition to autoranging (Models 15XP-B and 35XP-A only)
you can manually select and lock a range by pressing the
RANGE button. RANGE appears on the display to indicate
that manual ranging is active and the range is locked. When
appropriate, each subsequent press of the range button
steps the meter to the next higher range. When the highest
range is reached the next press returns the meter to the
lowest range. To return to autoranging press the RANGE
button. If RANGE still shows on the display, autoranging is
not available for the selected function.Use autorange for
all initial measurements. Then, when appropriate, use the
RANGE button to select and lock a range.
�Warning
To avoid electrical shock while manual ranging, use
the display annunciators to identify the actual range
selected.
Correcting an Overload (0o or -0o)
Indication
An 0o or -0o indication may appear on the display to indicate
that an overload condition exists. For voltage and current
measurements, an overload should be immediately corrected
by selecting a higher range. If the highest range setting does
not eliminate the overload, interrupt the measurement until
the problem is identified and eliminated. The 0o indication
is normal for some functions; for example,resistance,
continuity, and diode test.
5
Measuring DC Voltage (See Figure 1)
1. Set the Function Switch to .
2. Select the desired RANGE. The default DC voltage
range is 2 V on the 15XP-B and 4 V on the 35XP-A.
3. Connect the test leads: Red to V , Black to COM.
4. Connect the test probes to the circuit test points.
5. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any
overload (0o) conditions.

1. Set the Function Switch to .
2. Select the desired RANGE. The default AC voltage
range is 2 V on the 15XP-B and 4 V on the 35XP-A.
3. Connect the test leads: Red to V , Black to COM.
4. Connect the test probes to the circuit test points.
5. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any
overload (0o) conditions.
Preparing for Current Measurements
• Turn off circuit power before connecting the test probes.
• Allow the meter to cool between measurements, if current
measurements approach or exceeds 2 amps.
• A warning tone sounds if you connect a test lead to a
current input while a current function is not selected.
• Open circuit voltage at the measurement point must not
exceed 600V.
• Always measure current in series with the load. Never
measure current across a voltage source.
Measuring DC Current (See Figure 3)

measure resistance across a voltage source or on a
powered circuit.
7
5. Discharge any capacitors that may influence the
reading.
6. Connect the test probes across the resistance.
7. Read the display. If 0o appears on the highest range,
the resistance is too large to be measured or the circuit
is an open circuit.
8. (15XP-B) The 2000 M range has a fixed 10-count
offset in the reading. For example, when measuring
1100 M, the display reads 1110. The 10 residual must
