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 wi ...

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 but ...

5. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any overload (0o) conditions. Measuring DC Voltage (See Figure 2) 1. Set the Function Switch to . 2. Select the desired RANGE. The default AC 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. Preparing for Current Measurements • Turn off circuit power before connecting the test probes. • Allow the meter to cool between measurements, if current mea ...

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 measur ...

the resistance is too large to be measured or the circuit is an open circuit. 8. (15XP-B) The 2000 M range has a fixed 10-count offset in the reading. For example, when measuring 1100 M, the display reads 1110. The 10 residual must be subtracted to obtain the actual value of 1100 M Testing for Continuity (See Figure 6) 1. Set the Function Switch to . 2. Connect the test leads: Red to V , Black to COM. 3. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. 4. Discharge any capacitors that may influence the reading. 5. Connect the test probes across the resistance or the two points of t ...

4. Discharge the capacitor using a 100 k resistor. 5. Free at least one end of the capacitor from the circuit. 6. Connect the test probes across the capacitor. 7. Read the display. Measuring Temperature (35XP-A only) (See Figure 9) 1. Set the function switch to appropriate °C or °F range. 2. Connect the K-type thermocouple to a TEMP adapter (XR-TA). Match the polarity of the adapter to the polarity of the thermocouple. 3. Connect the TEMP adapter to the V  and COM inputs. Note: The 35XP-A is compatible with all K-type thermocouples. The K-type bead thermocouple supplied with the meter is not ...

sounds and the red LED next to the NCV button on the front panel lights up to verify that the instrument is operational. While pressing the button, hold the top- center of the meter (sensor location) close to the conductor/circuit in question. 4. If a voltage in the range of 70 to 600 V ac is present, a tone sounds and the red LED next to the NCV button on the front panel lights up. Testing Battery Voltage (5XP-A only) (See Figure 12) 1. Set the Function Switch to the appropriate BATT setting, 1.5 V or 9 V. 2. Connect the test leads: Red to BATT 1.5 V or BATT 9 V, Black to COM. 3. Connect the t ...

The meter emits a continuous tone when a test lead is placed in the mA or A input jack and the Function/Range Switch is not set to a correct current position. (If the meter is connected to a voltage source with leads connected for current, very high current could result). All current ranges are protected by fast acting fuses. MIN MAX Measurements (Model 5XP-A only) The MIN MAX feature reads and updates the display to show the maximum or minimum value measured after you press the MIN MAX button.Pressing the MIN MAX button for less than 1 second will put the meter into a mode of displaying the maximum or min ...

continuously display a measurement reading. To use the HOLD feature make a measurement, and then,after the reading has stabilized, momentarily press the HOLD button. You can remove the test leads and the reading will remain on the display. Pressing the HOLD button again releases the display. Product Maintenance Cleaning To clean the meter, use a soft cloth moistened with water. To avoid damage to the plastic components do not use benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, paint thinner,lacquer thinner, ketone or other solvents to clean the meter. Troubleshooting If the meter appears to operate ...

1. Remove the 2 rear-case screws. 2. Separate the case. 3. Remove and replace the 2 A fuse (15XP-B or 35XP-A) or 0.315 fuse (5XP-A). 4. Reassemble the meter. Fuse: Fast Blow 2 A/1000 V, minimum interrupt rating 30 kA (6 x 32 mm) (Amprobe® FP200).
