3000 FC Users Manual 16 AC Zero Input Behavior of True-rms Meters Average responding meters can accurately measure only pure sinewaves. A True-rms meter can accurately measure distorted waveform signals. A minimum input voltage is necessary for Calculating True-rms converters to make a measurement. Because of this minimum input, true-rms meter specifications are only good for 1 % to 100 % of range. Non-zero digits that are shown on a true-rms meter when the test leads are open or are shorted are possible. This has no effect on the ac measurement accuracy of signals that are more than 1 % of range. Unspecified input levels on the lowest ranges are: AC voltage less than 1 % of 600 mV ac or 6 mV ac. AC current less than 5 % of 60 mA ac or 3 mA ac. Basic Measurements  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. The figures that follow show how to make basic measurements with the Product. When you connect the test leads to the circuit or device, connect the common (COM) test lead before the live lead. When you remove the test leads, remove the live lead before the common test lead. AC and DC Voltage Measurements The voltage ranges are 600.0 mV, 6.000 V, 60.00 V, 600.0 V, and 1000 V. To set the 600.0 mV dc or ac range, turn the function switch to . Push to toggle the Product between millivolts dc and millivolts ac. Refer to Figure 2 to measure ac or dc voltage.

If the voltage drops to less than 5 % of the range, the value shown in the display can be invalid. Set the Product as shown in Figure 3 to measure volts/Hz. Volts/HzVolt/Hzx 2 gxr011.eps Figure 3. Volt/Hertz Ratio
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements 19 Resistance Measurements  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. The Product sends a small current through the circuit for resistance measurements. Because the current flows through all possible paths between the probes, the resistance measured is the total resistance of all paths between the probes. The resistance ranges are 600.0 Ω, 6.000 kΩ, 60.00 kΩ, 600.0 kΩ, 6.000 MΩ, and 50.00 MΩ. Set the Product as show in Figure 4 to measure resistance. gxr003.eps Figure 4. Resistance Measurements
3000 FC Users Manual 20 Capacitance Measurements  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. Capacitance ranges are 1,000 nF, 10.00 μF, 100.0 μF, and 9999 μF. To measure capacitance, set up the Product as shown in Figure 5. gxr004.eps Figure 5. Capacitance Measurements
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements 21 Continuity Test  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. The continuity test uses a beeper that sounds when a closed circuit is sensed. The beeper lets you do continuity tests without the necessity to look at the display. To do a continuity test, set up the Product as shown in Figure 6. gxr005.eps Figure 6. Continuity Tests
3000 FC Users Manual 22 AC or DC Current Measurements  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury: • Remove circuit power before you connect the Product in the circuit when you measure current. Connect the Product in series with the circuit. • Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage ratings.  Caution To prevent possible damage to the Product or the equipment under test: • Do a fuse test before current measurements. See “Fuse Test”. • Use the correct terminals, function, and range for all measurements. • Do not put the probes across (in parallel with) a circuit or component when the test leads are connected to the current terminals. Turn off circuit power, break the circuit, put the Product in series, and then turn on circuit power. The current ranges are 60.00 mA and 400.0 mA. Set the Product as shown in Figure 7 to measure ac and dc current. Push to toggle the Product between milliamps ac and milliamps dc.
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements 23 DC gxr007.eps Figure 7. AC and DC Current Measurements
3000 FC Users Manual 24 Diode Test  Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction Do a diode test on diodes, transistors, silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices. The function sends a current through the semiconductor junction and then measures the voltage drop across the junction. A good silicon junction drops between 0.5 V and 0.8 V. To do a diode test on a diode out of circuit, set up the Product as shown in Figure 8. For forward-bias measurements on a semiconductor component, put the red test lead on the positive terminal of the component and put the black test lead on the negative terminal of the component. In a circuit, a good diode has a forward-bias measurement of 0.5 V to 0.8 V. A reverse-bias measurement includes the resistance of other pathways between the probes. A short beep sounds if the diode is good (<0.85 V). A continuous beep sounds if the measurement is ≤0.100 V or short circuit. The display shows “OL” if the diode is open.

3000 FC Users Manual 26 Frequency Measurement A frequency measurement is a count of the number of times an ac voltage or current signal passes through a threshold point each second. The Product autoranges to one of four frequency ranges: 99.99 Hz, 999.9 Hz, 9.999 kHz, and 99.99 kHz. Below are some hints for frequency measurements: • If a measurement shows 0 Hz or is not stable, the input signal can be below or near a trigger level. A lower range increases the sensitivity of the Product and can usually repair these problems. • An input signal with distortion can cause a frequency measurement to be higher than usual. The distortion can cause the frequency counter to sense multiple triggers. A higher voltage range decreases the input sensitivity and can correct this problem. In general, the lowest frequency is the correct one. Set up the Product as shown in Figure 9 to measure frequency.
