Operating Instructions

Model 1450 DMM is operated simply by selecting an appropriate full scale range with one front panel rotary switch and a measurement mode with the other. The measured input signal is displayed on 7 segment planar characters, and the polarity of DC measurements is automatically displayed while the decimal point tracks the manual selection of the full scale range.

Measurements up to 100% overrange beyond the full scale will be within the specified accuracy and displayed as for in-range measurements. Overload signals, beyond the overrange limits on any selected range scale, are automatically sensed, and an Overload indication display is presented. The overload display retains the polarity sign and decimal indication, while blanking all the decimal digits. This is a signal to shift to a higher full scale range. The Model 1450 circuitry is protected against damage from an overload signal within the limits allowed by the specifications.
