DVM890 -- Multifunctional Digital Multimeter

1.Introduction

Your DVM890 is a professional digital multimeter with a 3 ½ digit LCD display. It is ideally suited

for professional, academic and home applications. The device is equipped with the latest in IC

and display technology. Thanks to this technology, the DVM890 will provide you with precise

and reliable measurements for years to come.

The DVM890 measures DC and AC voltage, DC and AC current, resistance, continuity,

capacitance, frequency and temperatures. You can also diodes and transistors (hFE).

1.1.Warning

Be very careful when performing measurements as improper use of this device may result in

serious injuries or even death. Take all usual precautions for working with electrical circuits and

mind the safety prescriptions listed below. Do not use this device if you are unfamiliar with

electrical circuits and testing procedures.

This device is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

1.2.Safety Prescriptions

This multimeter was designed to ensure the safest operation possible. Nevertheless, safe

operation mainly depends on you, the user. Respect the following safety prescriptions :

• Never apply more than 1000VDC or 700Vrms AC between an input jack and ground.

• Use extreme caution when working with voltages in excess of 60VDC or 30Vrms AC.

• Always discharge the filter capacitors in a power supply circuit before attaching the test

leads.

• Never connect a voltage source to the DVM890 when it is in current (DCA or ACA) mode,

resistance or continuity mode.

• Always turn off the power and disconnect the test leads prior to replacing the battery or fuse.

• The user should only operate the multimeter when the back cover is in place and securely

fastened.

• When carrying out measurements on TVs or switching power circuits, you should always

remember that high voltage pulses may occur at the test points. These pulses may damage

the meter.

1.3.Maintenance

Your DVM890 is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions

will help you keep the device in perfect working order :

• Do not expose the device to water. Wipe it dry immediately if it should get wet.

• Use and store the multimeter under normal temperatures. Extreme temperatures may

shorten the life of the device or damage the battery.

• Handle the multimeter with care. Dropping it may damage the circuit boards or the housing

and may cause the DVM890 to malfunction.

• Replace an old or weak battery with a fresh one of the required size and type.

Remove the battery during long periods of inactivity. This will protect the multimeter from

possible leakage.

• Disconnect the test probes prior to opening the housing.

DVM890 GB2

• A blown fuse should be replaced with an identical one.

F : F 0.2A/250V

• Do not use this device in case of malfunction or if anomalies are detected. Have it repaired

by qualified personnel.

• Do not use the multimeter unless the back cover is in place and fully fastened.

• Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent for cleaning purposes. Never use abrasives or solvents

on the meter.

for measurements of max. 200mA. Move the red test lead to the "10A" jack for

measurements of max. 20A (for max. 15 sec. at a stretch).

2. Select the A range with the FUNCTION switch.

FUNCTION switch and insert the plug of the K-thermocouple in the green "K PROBE"

socket.

2. The ambient temperature will be displayed in °C if the "T" range is selected without

connecting the K-thermocouple.

Remark : Do not hesitate to push firmly in order to insert the temperature probe in the socket.

5.Accessories

• set of test leads

• K-type thermocouple (400°C)

• 1 battery of 9V

• 1 user manual

• 1 holster

• 1 adapter for capacitance measurements

5.1.How to use the holster

The holster protects the device and ensures comfortable operation. Consult the figures below :

1. Use one of the two supports to place the device on a table or a desk (fig. A & B).

2. Hang the meter on the wall using the smaller of the two supports. (fig. C) : remove the

smaller support and insert it in the slots at the top of the holster. Use the support to hang the

device on a nail in the wall.

3. Each of the two supports in fig. D can hold a test lead.

6.Replacing the Battery and the Fuse

The " " symbol appears when the battery needs to be replaced. Proceed as follows :

1. Disconnect the test leads from all live sources, switch off the device and remove the test

leads from the input terminals BEFORE opening the housing. This is necessary in order to

avoid the risk of electroshocks.

2. Remove the screws in the back cover and retrieve the battery.

3. Insert a new 9V-battery (NEDA1604 or IEC6F22).

4. Replace the cover and tighten the screws.

The fuse rarely needs to be replaced and a blown fuse is nearly always due to an error on

behalf of the operator. Open the housing (see above) and replace the blown fuse with an

identical one : F : F 0.2A/250V.
