General description

The advantage of the fully automatic multimeter is that during the measurement, the device automatically recognizes which function is needed and performs the measurement in that function. The measurement results can be easily and quickly read from the large color display.
With the help of the sensor on the back of the device, you can detect voltage without breaking the wiring. It is equipped with a „fuse blown” indication, as well as a light for the test lead socket, which shows the correct connection method for different  measurements. It is characterized by an ergonomic device housing, compact size and easy handling. The practical, hard-walled carrier bag protects the product during transport.

Modes

Automatic measurement mode:
When switched on, this measurement mode is the default.
In this mode, AC/DC voltage and current, resistance and continuity can be measured and the instrument automatically identifies the signal to be measured. Press the button to turn on, the instrument will show „Auto” in intelligent measurement mode. Connect the red banana plug to the “INPUT” jack and the black banana plug to the “COM” jack. Touch the measuring tips parallel to the unit to be measured and the device will automatically recognize the measured signal. Read the measurement results from the display. During resistance measuring, if the resistance value is less than about 50 Ω, the device signals with a sound and light signal. When measuring current, move the red banana plug to the „mA/A” socket, the instrument will automatically switch to the current measurement function.
NOTE: In this mode, the minimum measurable voltage is 0,8 V
Manual measurement mode:
After switching on, the instrument is in automatic measurement mode, you can manually switch between modes by pressing the „FUNC” function buttons. The characters on the display indicate the current operating mode, and lighting at the sockets shows the location of the test leads. To switch back to automatic mode, press and hold any “FUNC” button.
Voltage measurement:
Select the voltage measurement function „V”, then press the „SEL” button to select the voltage type (AC – Alternating, DC – Direct)
Connect the red banana plug to the “INPUT” jack and the black banana plug to the “COM” jack. Touch the probes to the circuit to be measured. The measured value appears on the display.
Resistance measurement:
Select the resistance measurement function “Ω”. Connect the red banana plug to the “INPUT” jack and the black banana plug to the “COM” jack. Touch the probes to the circuit to be measured. The measured value appears on the display. During measurement, the circuit must be free of voltage, check this in every case.
Tensile test:
Select the tear test function “MAXWELL 25703 Automatic Multimeter with Color Display - Symbol 1 Connect the red banana plug to the “INPUT” jack and the black banana plug to the “COM” jack. Touch the probes to the circuit to be measured. The measured resistance value appears on the display, if it is below 50 Ω, the instrument emits a beeping sound and the indicator LED lights up. During measurement, the circuit must be free of voltage, check this in every case.
Diode test:
