You have just acquired a DMM13 multimeter and we thank you for your confidence.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This device is compliant with safety standards IEC61010-1 and 61010-2-033 for voltages up
to 300V in category III (or 600V in category II) at an altitude below 2,000m, indoors, with a
degree of pollution of not more than 2.
These safety instructions are intended to ensure the safety of persons and proper
operation of the device. If the device is used other than as specified in this data sheet, the
protection provided by the device may be impaired.
The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and clearly understand
the various precautions to be taken in use.
If you use this instrument other than as specified, the protection it provides may be
compromised, thereby endangering you.
Do not use the instrument in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of flammable
gases or fumes.
Do not use the instrument on networks of which the voltage or category exceeds those
mentioned.
Do not exceed the rated maximum voltages between terminals or with respect to earth.
Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or poorly closed.
Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads, housing, and
accessories. Any item of which the insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be
set aside for repair or scrapping.
Use leads and accessories rated for voltages and categories at least equal to those of
the instrument. If not, an accessory of a lower category reduces the category of the
combined multimeter + accessory to that of the accessory.
Observe the environmental conditions of use.
Do not modify the instrument and do not replace components with "equivalents".
Repairs and adjustments must be done by approved qualified personnel.
Replace the battery as soon as the
symbol appears on the display unit.
Disconnect all leads before opening the battery compartment cover.
Use personal protective equipment when conditions require.
Keep your hands away from the unused test probes of the device.
When handling the test probes, crocodile clips, and accessories, keep your fingers
behind the physical guard.
Disconnect the test probes from the measurement circuit before changing
functions.
MEASUREMENT CATEGORIES
CAT II: Circuits directly connected to the low-voltage installation.
Example: power supply to electro-domestic devices and portable tools.
CAT III: Power supply circuits in the installation of the building.
Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed industrial devices.
CAT IV: Circuits supplying the low-voltage installation of the building.
Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.

1. PRESENTATION
This is an instrument for the measurement of
electrical
quantities that groups the following functions:
AC or DC voltage measurement
Frequency measurement
Resistance measurement, continuity
measurement with buzzer (diode test)
Capacitance measurement
Automatic determination of the quantity to be
measured from the setting of the switch.
Test probe: 1 red (+) and 1 black (-).

1.1 The switch
The switch has three positions. To access the various functions, set the switch to the
corresponding positions. Each active position is confirmed by an audible signal. The
functions are described in the table below.
OFF Stop
V/Hz
AC or DC voltage measurement/Frequency measurement
Automatic detection of the AC or DC voltage to be
measured.
Resistance measurement, continuity measurement with
buzzer, or diode test and capacitance measurement.
Automatic detection of the quantity to be measured.
When switched on, the multimeter is in "SCAN" mode (automatic detection) and analyzes
the input signals to determine what quantity is to be measured.
In this mode, the "RANGE", "HOLD", and "MAX MIN" keys are deactivated.
1.2 The keypad
Here are the functions of the keys of the keypad:
- "SEL" (SELECT) key
The "SEL" key is used to access the functions of the "RANGE", "HOLD", and "MAX MIN"
keys and choose the quantity to be measured manually (stops the "SCAN" mode).
Press the "SEL" key repeatedly to obtain the following functions according to the setting
of the rotary switch:
V
DC voltage/AC voltage
Functions obtained:
Resistance measurement/continuity measurement/diode
test/capacitance measurement.
