Flir DM62 Multimeter F.A.Q.

How do I measure AC voltage using the Flir DM62 Multimeter?

To measure AC voltage, turn the dial to the V~ position, connect the test leads to the circuit, and read the measurement on the display. Ensure the multimeter is set to the correct voltage range if not in auto-range mode.

What should I do if the multimeter does not power on?

Check the battery compartment for proper battery installation and ensure the batteries are charged. Replace the batteries if necessary and ensure the contacts are clean.

How can I test the continuity of a circuit with the Flir DM62?

Turn the dial to the continuity test mode, often indicated by a sound wave symbol. Connect the test leads to the circuit, and listen for a beep indicating continuity.

What is the procedure to measure resistance with the DM62?

Set the dial to the resistance (Ω) setting, connect the test leads across the component, and read the resistance value on the display. Ensure the component is isolated from the circuit for accurate measurement.

How do I perform a diode test using the Flir DM62?

Switch the dial to the diode test mode. Place the red lead on the anode and the black lead on the cathode of the diode. The display should show the forward voltage drop. Reverse the leads to test for reverse bias, which should show no reading.

Why is the display showing 'OL' when measuring resistance?

'OL' indicates that the resistance is over the limit for the range selected. Check the component or circuit for open-loop conditions or switch to a higher range if possible.

What safety precautions should I take when using the DM62 multimeter?

Always ensure the multimeter is set to the correct measurement type and range. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, especially when working with high voltages. Inspect the test leads and multimeter for damage before use.

How can I maintain the accuracy of my Flir DM62 Multimeter?

Regularly calibrate the multimeter according to the manufacturer's specifications. Keep the device clean and store it in a dry, dust-free environment. Replace batteries when low to prevent leakage.

How do I measure DC current with the Flir DM62?

Set the dial to the DC current (A) position, break the circuit, and connect the multimeter in series with the circuit. Ensure the probe connections are correct for current measurement.

What should I do if the readings seem inaccurate?

Verify the multimeter is calibrated. Check the test leads for damage or poor connections. Ensure the selected range is correct for the measurement being taken.
