FAQs
What is the basic accuracy of the DC voltage range?
The basic accuracy on the DC voltage range is ±(0.5% of the reading ± digit).
What safety certifications does the multimeter have?
The Rapid RHMM17 conforms to IEC61010-1 and is RoHS, CE, EMC & LVD compliant.
How do I test for continuity?
Select the continuity setting on the dial. Place the probes on either side of the component or wire. If there is continuity, the meter will beep.
How do I change the fuse?
Open the fuse compartment (refer to the manual for specific instructions). Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the correct rating.
Can I measure AC current with this multimeter?
Yes, the Rapid RHMM17 is capable of measuring AC current.
What is the purpose of the display hold button?
The display hold button freezes the current reading on the display, making it easier to read the value in difficult to reach locations.
What type of temperature probe does the multimeter use?
It includes a K-type thermocouple temperature probe.
Troubleshooting
The multimeter does not turn on.
Check the battery and replace it if necessary. Also, check the fuse.
The display is unreadable.
Check the backlight setting. Replace the battery if the display is dim or blank.
The readings are inaccurate.
Ensure that the test leads are properly connected. Check the function dial to make sure you have selected the correct measurement range.
