SAFETY INFORMATION

• The XP Series Digital Multimeters conform to EN61010-

1:2010, EN61010-2-033:2012, CAT II 600 V, CAT III 300 V(5XP-

A,35XP-A), CAT III 600 V(15XP-B), class 2 and pollution

deg.2; CSA 22.2 -1010-1.

CAT II : Is for measurements performed on circuits directly

connected to the lowvoltage installation.

CAT III : Is for measurements performed in the building

installation.

• Do not exceed the maximum overload limits per function

(see speciﬁcations) nor the limits marked on the instrument

itself. Never apply more than 600 V dc/600 V ac rms

between the test lead and earth ground.

• If the equipment is used in a manner not speciﬁed by the

manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment

may be impaired.

• 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 >600 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-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

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com

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.

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.
