READ FIRST: SAFETY INFORMATION  
This meter has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 1010. To  
ensure that the meter is used safely, follow all safety and operating instructions in this  
manual. If the meter is not used as described in this manual, the safety features of the  
meter might be impaired.  
WWarning  
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal  
injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator (N) appears.  
Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect  
that the meter is not operating properly.  
Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the  
circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.  
Do not apply more than 600 V rms between a terminal and earth ground.  
Use caution when working above 60 V dc or 30 V ac rms. Such voltages pose a  
shock hazard.  
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

TESTING CONTINUITY AND MEASURING RESISTANCE  
TESTING CONTINUITY AND MEASURING RESISTANCE  
1. Insert the test leads in the jacks, and turn off power to the circuit under test.  
External voltage across the components causes invalid readings.  
2. Put the slide-switch in the continuity/ohms position (Figure 4).  
To toggle between the continuity/diode and ohms functions, press [g].  
3. Touch the probes to the test points.  
4. In ohms, read the resistance on the display.  
In continuity test, the beeper sounds continuously if continuity exists (resistance  
< 25 .). Opens and shorts longer than 250 µs are detected. On the Fluke 12,  
short-to-open and open-to-short transitions can be captured and visually  
displayed. See “Capturing Continuity Intermittents”.  
If the meter detects a voltage greater in magnitude than about 4.5 V and the meter is  
not in the manual range mode, the meter automatically changes to the voltage  
measurement function. (See “CHEK AND HOW TO USE IT”.)

TESTING DIODES  
TESTING DIODES  
1. Insert the test leads in the jacks.  
2. Put the slide-switch in the continuity/ohms position. The meter selects either the  
continuity/diode (RG) or ohms (e) function.  
If ohms is selected, press [g] to toggle to the continuity/diode function. To toggle  
the beeper on or off in continuity/diode test, press [V]. Ris displayed when the  
beeper is enabled.  
3. Touch probes to the diode (Figure 5A). A forward-voltage drop of about 0.6 V  
(typical for a silicon diode) causes the meter to beep once.  
4. Reverse probes (Figure 5B). If the diode is good, OL is displayed. If the diode is  
shorted (Figure 5C), the beeper sounds continuously in at least one direction.  
If the diode is open, OL is displayed in both directions.

VCHEK AND HOW TO USE IT  
VCHEK AND HOW TO USE IT  
i is a subset of the continuity/ohms function. In i, the meter is designed to  
automatically display an ac or dc voltage when the meter detects a voltage greater in  
magnitude than about 4.5 V and the meter is not in the manual range mode. THIS  
WILL NOT HARM THE METER. i is always enabled (and k is displayed) when  
the meter is in the continuity/ohms function unless the meter is in one of the following:  
The manual range mode (i.e., Zis displayed)  
The MIN MAX mode (i.e., j is displayed)  
The capacitance function (i.e., µF is displayed)  
WWarning  
Repetitive transients on a dc bus will cause i to select ac volts, even  
though a hazardous dc voltage may be present. To avoid a misleading display  
and possible electric shock, manually select the proper volts function for  
measurements on these circuits.  
In i, the meter has a low input impedance (~2 ke). When a voltage is displayed,  
LoZ is also displayed to remind you of this, and the beeper momentarily sounds a  
i Alert™. To disable the i Alert in the ohms function, press and hold down  
[g] while turning the meter on.  
13  
 
12 Multimeter  
Users Manual  
Use i only on power supplies and other power sources that have a low output  
impedance. Do not use i to measure voltage in electronic circuitry unless a 2 ke  
load will not damage the circuit. See † on page 27.  
DISABLING i WITH FUNCTION LOCK  
To lock the meter in either the continuity/diode or ohms function, and disable i:  
1. Put the slide-switch in the continuity/ohms position. The meter selects the  
continuity/diode or ohms function. Press [g] to toggle between the  
continuity/diode and ohms functions.  
2. Press [Z] to put the meter in manual range. Zis displayed. The meter is locked in  
the selected function and i is disabled.  
In continuity/diode test, press [Z] to toggle the beeper on and off.  
In ohms, press [Z] to manually select a range.  
To remove the function lock and reenable i, press [Z] for 2 seconds, press [g],  
or move the slide-switch.

MEASURING CAPACITANCE  
MEASURING CAPACITANCE  
First, turn off power to the circuit, and disconnect and discharge the capacitor.  
1. Insert test leads, and move the slide-switch to [E]. (See Figure 6.)  
2. Press [E]. The capacitance function is selected and µF is displayed.  
3. Touch the probes to the capacitor. When measuring polarized capacitors, be sure  
to connect the positive to [2] and the negative to COM. Capacitor dielectric  
absorption can cause measurement errors. If more discharge is necessary, the  
meter displays “dISC” while the capacitor is discharging.  
To exit capacitance, press [E] or [g], or move the slide-switch to another position.

USING MIN MAX FUNCTIONS  
USING MIN MAX FUNCTIONS  
Recording Minimum and Maximum Readings  
MIN MAX records the highest and lowest measurements taken. MIN MAX cannot be  
used when the meter is measuring capacitance. In the MIN MAX mode, autoranging,  
Standby, and i are disabled.  
1. Insert the test leads, and put the meter in volts or ohms.  
2. Connect the leads to the circuit.  
3. Press [j] to enter MIN MAX. j is displayed, and autorange is disabled. When the  
reading changes more than about 50 digits, the meter beeps a short Input Change  
Alert™. When a new minimum or maximum is recorded, the meter beeps a longer  
MIN MAX Alert™.  
4. Press [j] to cycle through maximum, minimum, and present readings (see  
Figure 7). To exit MIN MAX and erase the stored readings, press [j] for  
2 seconds or change the measurement function.

Capturing Continuity Intermittents with Continuity Capture  
When testing continuity, the meter can capture intermittents as short as 250 µs, and  
display them as open-to-short and short-to-open transitions.  
1. Put the slide-switch in the continuity/ohms position.  
2. Connect the leads to the circuit.  
3. Press [j]. The display shows the initial condition (either an open or short) as  
shown in Figure 9, and j is displayed.  
If the meter detects a transition, it beeps and the display captures the transition  
(see Figure 9). Subsequent transitions cause the meter to beep, but the display  
does not change.  
4. Press [j] to reset the display to the present condition and resume capture mode.  
5. To exit, press [j] for 2 seconds or change measurement function.
