Safety Information

•The XP Series Digital Multimeters conform to EN61010-1, Rev-2; CAT I 1000 V,

CAT II 600 V, CAT III 300 V, class 2 and pollution deg.2; CSA 22.2 -1010-1.

•This instrument is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category I (1000V). It

may only be used to make measurements on energy limited circuits within

equipment and not directly connected to mains.

•This instrument is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category II (600 V). It is

recommended for use with local level power distribution, appliances, portable

equipment, etc, where only smaller transient overvoltages may occur, and not

for primary supply lines, overhead lines and cable systems.

•This instrument is EN61010-1 certified for Installation Category III ( 300 V). It is

recommended for use in distribution level and fixed installations, as well as

lesser installations, and not for primary supply lines, overhead lines and cable

systems.

•Do not exceed the maximum overload limits per function (see specifications)

nor the limits marked on the instrument itself. Never apply more than 1000 V

dc/750 V ac rms between the test lead and earth ground.

•Inspect the DMM, test leads and accessories before every use. Do not use any

damaged part.

•Never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed

circuit elements or test probe tips.

•Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.

•Exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20 V // current >10 mA //

AC power line with inductive loads // AC power line during electrical storms //

current, when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage >1000 V //

servicing CRT equipment.

•Always measure current in series with the load – NEVER ACROSS a voltage

source. Check fuse first. Never replace a fuse with one of a different rating.

•Remove test leads before opening the case.

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-A 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.

XWWarning

To avoid electrical shock while manual ranging, use the display

annunciators to identify the actual range selected.

Correcting an Overload (0o or -0o) Indication W

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.

Measuring DC Voltage See Figure -1-

1. Set the Function Switch to v.

2. Select the desired RANGE. The default DC voltage range is 2 V on the 15XP-A

and 4 V on the 35XP-A.

3. Connect the test leads: Red to E, 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 AC Voltage See Figure -2-

1. Set the Function Switch to V.

2. Select the desired RANGE. The default AC voltage range is 2 V on the 15XP-A

and 4 V on the 35XP-A.

3. Connect the test leads: Red to E, 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 1000 V.

•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).

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.
