Controls & Indicators
The front-panel controls and indicators for the digital multimeters include:
1. Display: 50,000 count LCD with 14 mm high digits, automatic decimal point, minus sign, and 34 segment bar graph. It includes annunciators for all functions, units of measurement, blown fuse, and low battery. Overrange is indicated by OL.
2. SURV Button (5370 and 5390 only): Enables the SURVEILLANCE or MIN, MAX, AVG recording mode. A long press enables or disables the recording mode, while short presses display current values of MIN, MAX, or AVG measurements.
3. Backlight Button (5370, 5380, and 5390 only): Turns the LCD display backlight on and off. The backlight turns off automatically after about 30 seconds.
4. HOLD Button: Toggles the data hold feature on and off for all functions and enables the AUTO MEM MODE. A short press freezes the current reading, and another short press releases it. A long press enables the AUTO MEM MODE in specific positions of the rotary Function Switch.
5. PK +/- Button: Enables fast peak hold capability when the rotary Function Switch is set to certain functions.
6. Hz Button (5370 and 5390 only): Enables frequency functions when the rotary Function Switch is set to specific positions. Short presses engage frequency measurement and related functions, while a long press returns the unit to its original setting.
7. Function Switch: A rotary switch that selects function for AUTO ranging modes and some ranges for current modes. Primary functions are indicated by white labeling, and secondary functions by yellow labeling, activated by the SEL/ON button.
8. REL Button: Sets initial reading as the zero reference for relative measurements. A short press enables the mode and sets the display to zero, while another short press disables it. A long press displays the reference being used, which can be adjusted using the SEL/ON and RANGE buttons.
9. A Jack: Input for 10 A DC, AC, or DC+AC current range.
10. μA mA Jack: Input for DC, AC, or AC+DC currents up to 500 mA.
11. COM Jack: Input for common or reference test lead for all measurements.
12. VΩ 4E-D+ Jack: Input for DC, AC, and AC+DC Volts, capacitance, diode test, resistance, continuity, or frequency functions.
