Digital Multimeter (220-0182) Features Faxback Doc. # 8665 INTRODUCTION The MICRONTA LCD Digital Multimeter is a portable 3-1/2 digit, compact- sized test instrument ideally suited for use in the field, lab, shop, and home. Here are some of the professional features of your new digital multimeter. FEATURES Computer Interface & Software - Let you interface the meter with your PC- compatible computer so you can log measurements. Frequency Check Function - Measures frequencies up to 200 kHz. Transistor Check Function - Measures gain hFE of small-signal bipolar transistors and identifies pin-out and type. Capacitor Check Function - Measures the capacitance of low-voltage capacitors. Analog Bargraph Display - Indicates the magnitude of the input compared to the full-scale value of the measurement range. Max/Min Hold Function - Stores a maximum and minimum measured value memory. Data Hold Function - Freezes the display so you can keep the measured value on the display even after you disconnect the probes. Relative Offset - Stores a value in memory and displays the difference between the stored value and subsequent readings. Continuity Function - Makes it easy to check fuses, alarm wiring, cables, and connections. Auto-Polarity Operation - Protects your meter and gives valid measurements when you connect the leads in reverse polarity. Diode Check Function - Safety checks semiconductor junctions for open, short, or normal. Combined Function and Range - Makes it easy for you to use your meter. Selector Switch Latest IC and Display - Ensures reliability, accuracy, stability, Technology and ease of operation. Auto Power Shut-off - Helps conserve battery power. Beeper - Sounds tones for overload-warning, continuity function, range selection, and end of self-test. Logic Test Function - Checks logic levels without extra probes. Overload and Transient - Helps protect the meter from accidental Protection overload on most ranges. Low-Battery Indicator - Appears when you need to replace the batteries. Memory Recording - Stores five measurements which you can download to a computer. UL Listed - Passes the stringent tests required by Underwriters Laboratories for safety. Cautions: Completely read this manual before you use the meter. If you are not familiar with meters and testing procedures, we suggest you obtain and read a book about the subject, such as "Using Your Meter" (Radio Shack Cat. No. 62-2039). (lb/all-9/19/94)
