Users Manual

Safety Information

xThe 37XR-A Digital Multimeter is UL, CSA, and EN61010-1 certified for

Installation Category III – 600V and Category II – 1000V. It is recommended for

use with local level power distribution, appliances, portable equipment, etc,

where only smaller transient overvoltages may occur, and not for primary

supply lines, overhead lines and cable systems.

xDo not exceed the maximum overload limits per function (see specifications)

nor the limits marked on the instrument itself. Never apply more than 1000V

dc/750 V ac rms between the test lead and earth ground.

xInspect the DMM, test leads and accessories before every use. Do not use any

damaged part.

xNever ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed

circuit elements or test probe tips.

xDo not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.

xExercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20V // current >10mA // 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.

xAlways measure current in series with the load – NEVER ACROSS a voltage

source. Check fuse first. Never replace a fuse with one of a different rating.

xDo not change the position of the Function/Range Switch while the MIN MAX,

feature is enabled. Erroneous readings will result.

xRemove test leads before opening the Battery Cover or case.

Making Measurements

Verify Instrument Operation

Before attempting to make a measurement, verify that the instrument is operational

and the battery is good. If the instrument is not operational, have it repaired before

attempting to make a measurement.

Range Selection

In addition to autoranging the 37XR-A allows you to manually select and lock a

range by pressing the RANGE button. RANGE appears on the display to indicate

that manual ranging is active. 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 and hold the

RANGE button for 2 seconds. RANGE no longer shows on the display.

Use autorange for all initial measurements. Then, when appropriate, use the RANGE

button to select and lock a range. Warning

To avoid electrical shock while manual ranging use the display

annunciators to identify the actual range selected.

Correcting an Overload (-or -) Indication :

An -or -indication may appear on the display to indicate that an overload

condition exists. For voltage and current measurements, an overload should be

immediately corrected by selecting a higher range. If the highest range setting does

not eliminate the overload, interrupt the measurement until the problem is identified

and eliminated. The -indication is normal for some functions; for example,

resistance, continuity, and diode test.

Measuring DC Voltage See Figure -1-

1. Set the Function Switch to @.

2. If RANGE is displayed, press the RANGE button to enable autoranging.

3. Connect the Test Leads: Red to , Black to COM

5. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any overload (

) conditions.

Preparing for Current Measurements

xTurn off circuit power before connecting the test probes.

xAllow the meter to cool between measurements if current measurements

approach or exceeds 10 amps.

xA warning tone sounds if you connect a test lead to a current input before you

select a current function.

xOpen circuit voltage at the measurement point must not exceed 1000 V.

xAlways measure current in series with the load. Never measure current across a

voltage source.

Additional Features

Input Test Lead Warning

The meter emits a continuous tone when a test lead is placed in the mA or 10A

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.

True-rms Measurements

For ac measurements most DMMs average the ac input signal and display the

result as an estimated rms value. This average-responding method is accurate for

sinusoidal waveforms, but can be very inaccurate for distorted waveforms. To

ensure the most accurate measurements, always use a true-rms DMM when

measuring ac voltage or ac current on circuits for the following kinds of

applications:

xPower Supplies - diodes

xControllers

xPower Limiting - SCR or Triac

xStarting - motors

xFlorescent Lighting - ballasts

xSpeed Control - motors

xPulsed Signals

xAny non-sinusoidal ac waveform

MIN MAX AVG Measurements

The MIN MAX AVG function reads and updates the display to show the maximum

or minimum value measured after you press the MIN MAX AVG button.

Pressing the MIN MAX AVG button for less than 1 second will put the meter into a

mode of displaying the maximum, minimum, average, or actual readings. Each time

the button is pressed, the meter will cycle to the next display mode as shown in the

table below. Press the MIN MAX AVG button for more than 2 seconds to disable

this feature.

Button Display Value Displayed

< 1 second REC MAX Maximum value after feature activated

REC MIN Minimum value after feature activated

< 1 second REC AVG Average value after feature is activated

< 1 second REC Actual reading, min max being recorded.

> 2 seconds Exit MIN MAX AVG Normal measurement, actual reading

Peak Hold Measurements

Note: The PEAK function calibrates itself to meet the specifications.

Peak Hold records and stores the positive and negative peak values that occur while

measuring ac current or ac voltage. To enable the Peak Hold feature press the PEAK

button for more than 2 seconds. The display will show CAL to indicate the

calibration cycle is in process. After the CAL indication clears, press the PEAK

button again to display the maximum (P+) value for the ac voltage or ac current

being measured. The display will toggle between the P+ and P- readings each time

the PEAK button is pressed. Press the PEAK button for more than 1 second to exit

the PEAK function.
