Keypad Descriptions and Operation

POWER BUTTON and AUTO POWER OFF FEATURE

1. Use the POWER button to turn the unit ON or OFF . When the unit is powered up, a short

self-test will ensue after which the display will stabilize.

2. When the battery symbol flashes on the displa y, replace the battery as soon as possible.

Low battery power may cause inaccurate readings and erratic meter operation.

3. This instrument is equipped with Auto Power OFF which turns the meter off after 10 minutes

of inactivity. To override this feature; press and hol d the POWER button until the display

icon “ATP” turns off.

UNIT BUTTON

Press the UNIT button in the current function to select mA or %units or V or mV in the voltage

function. Voltage is autoranging in the MEASURE mode.

I/O BUTTON

Momentarily press the I/O button to select either SOUR CE (output) or MEASURE (input).

MODE BUTTON

In the MEASURE mode, Press and Hold the MODE (I/O) button for 1secondto select either the

current (mA/%) or voltage (mV/V) function. Release the button when the desired function appears.

(Backlight) BUTTON

Press the Backlight button to turn the backlight on or off.

ZERO ( ) BUTTON

In the MEASURE or SOURCE m ode, Press and Hold the ZERO ( ) button fo r 1 second to zero

the meter.

►◄▼and ▲BUTTONS

The arrow buttons are used to set the output value in the SOURCE mode.

1. Select the SOURCE mode

2. Press the ►or ◄button select a digit for adjustment. The blinking underline curser

identifies the digit selected.

3. Press the ▼or ▲button to adjust the value of the digit. Press and Hold the ▼or ▲button to

rapidly adjust the value.

5PRC15-EU-EN-V1.2 01/13

SET BUTTON

The SET button is used to manually step through the 5 stored outp ut values.

1. Select the SOURCE mode

2. Press the SET button and the value stored in me mory location 01 will be sourced. “MEM.01”

appears in the display.

3. Each press of the SET button will step t hrough the 5 memory locations.

4. The arrow buttons can be used to adjus t the value in each memory location.

STEP/MEM BUTTON

The STEP/MEM button is used to automatically step through the 5 stored outpu t values. The meter

can be set for a single cycle of the st ored values or a continuous cycle.

1. Select the SOURCE mode

2. Press and HOLD the STEP/MEM button. ”STEPSS” (single cycle) and “STEPSC ”

(continuous cycle) will alternately appear in the dis play. Release the button when th e

desired mode is displayed.

3. In single cycle mode t he meter will source the current or voltage displayed in MEM01 for 5

seconds. The meter will then advance to MEM 02 for 5 seconds. This will continue through

MEM

05 and then step down through the memory l ocations. The c ycle will end when MEM01

has been reached.

4. In the continuous mode the cycle will continue until manuall y stopped.

5. Momentarily press the MEM button to stop the c ycle. “END” will briefly appear in the display.

STORING VALUES INTO MEMORY

The default values stored in the memor y locations are:

Memory

Location

mA % mV V

4.00mA 0.0% 0mV 0V

8.00mA 25% 500mV 5V

12.00mA

Modes of Operation

MEASURE (Input) Mode of Operation

In this mode, the unit will measure up to 50mADC or 20VDC.

1. Turn the meter ON.

2. “MEASURE” will appear in the display.

3. Press and Hold the MODE button for 1 second to s elect mA or % or mV

4. Connect the Calibration Cable to the meter.

5. Connect the Calibration Cable to the device or circuit under test.

6. Read the measurement on the LCD display.

SOURCE (Output) Mode of Operation

In this mode, the unit can source current up to 24mADC at 1000 ohms or voltage up to 20.00V.

The current or voltage can be output either ma nually or stepped from memory as described

earlier.

1. Turn the meter ON

2. MEASURE” will appear in the display.

3. Press and Hold the MODE button for 1 second to select mA or % or mV

4. Momentarily press the “I/O” button to select SOURCE.

5. Press the UNIT button to select % / mA or mV / V.

6. Connect the Calibration Cable to the meter

7. Connect the Calibration Cable to the device or circuit under test

8. Use the

arrow buttons to set the desired output v alue in the lower display. The upper

display indicates the actual curren t or voltage value being sourced. If the upper display does

not match the set value, either the batteri es need to be replaced or the load impedance is

beyond the specified range.
