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.

Measuring DC Voltage (See Figure 2)

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)

1. Set the Function Switch to a current function, μA, mA,

or A.

2. Select the desired RANGE (5XP-A only).

6

3. Connect the test leads: Red to mA or A, Black to COM.

4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.

5. Open the test circuit (X) to establish

measurement points.

6. Connect the test probes in series with the load (to the

measurement points).

7. Turn on power to the circuit being measured.

8. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any

overload (0o or -0o) conditions.

Measuring AC Current (See Figure 4)

1. Set the Function Switch to a current function and

range, μA, mA, or A.

2. Select the desired RANGE (5XP-A only).

3. Connect the test leads: Red to mA or A, Black to COM.

4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.

5. Open the test circuit (X) to establish

measurement points.

6. Connect the test probes in series with the load (to the

measurement points).

7. Turn on power to the circuit being measured.

8. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any

overload (0o) conditions.

Measuring Resistance (See Figure 5)

1. Set the Function Switch to .

2. Select the desired RANGE (5XP-A, 15XP-B).

3. Connect the test leads: Red toV , Black to COM.

4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. Never

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

be subtracted to obtain the actual value of 1100 M

Testing for Continuity (See Figure 6)

1. Set the Function Switch to .

2. Connect the test leads: Red to V , Black to COM.

3. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.

4. Discharge any capacitors that may inﬂuence the

reading.

5. Connect the test probes across the resistance or the

two points of test.

6. Listen for the tone that indicates continuity.

Testing Diodes (See Figure 7)

1. Set the Function Switch to .

2. Connect the test leads: Red to V , Black to COM.

3. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.

4. Free at least one end of the diode from the circuit.

5. Connect the test probes across the diode.
