Notes for DC specifications
A. Notes for voltage specification.
1. 100 mV and 600 mV ranges available on Temperature T1 terminal.
The accuracy is specified for 10 MΩ (nominal) input impedance. The
accuracy is specified after NULL function is used to zero out thermal
effect (by shorting test leads).
2. Only available in U1242C only. 1.8 kΩ typical input impedance for Z_LOW mode.
3. Overload protection for 100 mV and 600 mV ranges: 1000 Vrms for
circuits < 0.3 A short circuit current.
4. Overload protection: 1000 Vrms.
B. Notes for current specification
1. Current can be measured up to 440 mA continuously. Maximum of
20 hours for measuring current more than 440 mA and up to 600 mA.
100 mA and 600 mA ranges have thermal effect of 0.35 µA/mA to be
offset after current applied to these ranges. Cool down the meter for at
least 6 seconds if 100 mA was applied, and at least 3 minutes if 600 mA
was applied; or alternatively use the NULL function to zero-out thermal
effect with open test lead before measuring the signal.
2. Current can be measured up to 10 A continuously. Maximum of 30 seconds
for measuring current more than 10 A to 20 A, add 0.3 % to specified
accuracy. The multimeter needs to be cool down after measuring current
that is more than 10 A. Cool down the meter for twice the duration of the
measured time and use NULL function to zero-out thermal effect before
proceeding with lower current measurement.
3. 1000 µA to 600 mA ranges (connection with mA terminal) overload pro-
tection by 10 x 35 mm, 440 mA/1000 V, and 10 kA minimum fast-acting
fuse.
4. 10 A ranges (connection with A terminal) overload protection by
10 x 38 mm, 11 A / 1000 V, 20 kA minimum fast-acting fuse.
5. Ensure good ventilation and no heat element close to the meter.
C. Notes for diode test specification
1. Overload protection: 1000 Vrms for circuits < 0.3 A short circuit current.
2. Built-in buzzer sounds when reading is below 0.05 V approximately, and
single tone for normal forward-biased diode or semiconductor junction as
0.3 V ≤ reading ≤ 0.8 V.
3. The maximum threshold voltage display is less than +2 V.
D. Notes for resistance/audible Continuity specification
1. Maximum open voltage: < +2.4 V
2. Built-in buzzer sounds as transient when resistance less than 28 ± 10 Ω.
It may capture the intermittent for longer than 1 ms.
3. 100 Ω range is for U1242C only
4. The accuracy is specified after Math Null, which is used to subtract the
test lead resistance and the thermal effect. Ensure good ventilation and
no heat element close to the meter.
5. For 10 MΩ and 100 MΩ ranges, the R.H. is specified for <60 % at 30 °C.
6. For 100 MΩ range: temperature coefficient is 0.1 x (specified accuracy) / °C.
7. Resistance range 100 Ω is typical characteristic.
