Measuring direct current
Warning of electrical voltage
Improper handling of the measuring device entails a
risk of electric shock!
Before carrying out current measurements, observe the
following:
• Before connecting a measuring device to an electric
circuit, cut off the circuit current. Discharge the capacitors.
• For measuring the current, interrupt the circuit to be
checked and connect the measuring device in series with
the consumer in this circuit.
• Never connect a voltage source to the multimeter's
measuring sockets when a current measuring range is
selected. Otherwise the device could be damaged.
• The voltage in the measuring circuit must not be higher
than 1000V (CATIII) or 600V (CATIV) to earth.
• For measuring higher currents starting at 400mA in the
10Arange, one must observe a maximum measurement
duration of 30s each with an intermission of 15minutes
between two measurements. Otherwise, the device may
be damaged due to excessive heating.
1. Depending on the expected measuring current set the
rotary switch to the μA, mA or 10Arange, then use the
MODEbutton to select the desired measuring mode
(DCindication for direct current).

set already or in case of the automatic range selection,
immediately switch off the voltage supply at the measuring
object and disconnect the measuring device from the
measuring object.
Note:
If there is no indication and all connections have been
established correctly, the cause of the fault may be a defective
internal fuse protecting the current measuring ranges (see
chapter Fuse replacement).
Note:
If you have selected the 10A range for safety's sake, but the
measuring current amounts to less than 400mA, switch the
measuring circuit back off. Plug the red measuring tip into the
mAsocket and select a measuring range in the mArange.
Switch the measuring circuit back on.
Measuring alternating current
Warning of electrical voltage
Improper handling of the measuring device entails a
risk of electric shock!
Before carrying out current measurements, observe the
following:
• Before connecting a measuring device to an electric
circuit, cut off the circuit current. Discharge the capacitors.
• For measuring the current, interrupt the circuit to be
checked and connect the measuring device in series with
the consumer in this circuit.
• Never connect a voltage source to the multimeter's
measuring sockets when a current measuring range is
selected. Otherwise the device could be damaged.
• The voltage in the measuring circuit must not be higher

appears after the manual range selection, immediately
switch over to the respectively next higher range. If the
OLindication appears and the maximum range has been
set already or in case of the automatic range selection,
immediately switch off the voltage supply at the measuring
object and disconnect the measuring device from the
measuring object.
Note:
If there is no indication and all connections have been
established correctly, the cause of the fault may be a defective
internal fuse protecting the current measuring ranges (see
chapter Fuse replacement).
Note:

measuring current amounts to less than 400mA, switch the
measuring circuit back off. Plug the red measuring tip into the
mAsocket and select a measuring range in the mArange.
Switch the measuring circuit back on.
Measuring resistance
Warning of electrical voltage
Before carrying out resistance, continuity or diode
measurements, switch off the current of the electric
circuit and discharge all capacitors.
1. Set the rotary switch to the resistance measuring
range(Ω/ /CAP), then use the MODEbutton to select
the resistance measurement (MΩindication).
2. Insert the plug of the red measuring tip into
the V/Ωmeasuring socket and the plug of the black
measuring tip into the COMmeasuring socket.
3. Connect the measuring tips to the measuring object. The
measuring device may take some time to display a stable
value. This is due to the measuring principle and not a
malfunction.
ðThe measured value will be indicated on the display.
4. Turn the rotary switch to the position that is closest to the
indicated value but does not fall below it.
ðThe measured value will be indicated on the display.
Note:
In case of very low resistance values (400Ωrange) the internal
resistors of the measuring tips and sockets might lead to a
falsified display. The resistance value displayed in case of
short-circuited measuring tips will be put down in writing and
later subtract from the measured value for the subsequent
measurements.
Diode testing
This function permits the testing of semi-conductor paths for
continuity and blocking function.
Warning of electrical voltage
Before carrying out resistance, continuity or diode
measurements, switch off the current of the electric
circuit and discharge all capacitors.
1. Set the rotary switch to the Ω/ /CAPposition,
then use the MODEbutton to select the diode
test ( indication).
2. Insert the plug of the red measuring tip into
the V/Ωmeasuring socket and the plug of the black
measuring tip into the COMmeasuring socket.
3. Connect the measuring tips to the diode. If the
OLindication (exceedance of the measuring range) is
displayed, swap the measuring tip connections at the
diode.
ðIf a value is displayed, the component is working
properly. The component's forward voltage will be
displayed (approx. 0.2V for Gediodes and approx.
0.5V in case of Sidiodes).
Measuring capacitance
Before carrying out capacitance measurements, observe the
following:
• Discharge each capacitor before carrying out a
measurement! Residual voltage in the capacitor can lead
to a destroyed measuring device! Do not discharge the
capacitor by means of a short circuit. Instead bypass the
connections using a 100kΩresistor.
• Never connect the measuring inputs to a voltage source,
since this would destroy the measuring device.
• For reasons of safety, measure whether there is a residual
charge in the capacitor (using the DCVrange) before you
perform a capacitance measurement.
1. Set the rotary switch to the Ω/ /CAPposition, then
use the MODEbutton to select the capacitance
measurement (nFindication).
2. Insert the plug of the red measuring tip into
the V/Ωmeasuring socket and the plug of the black
measuring tip into the COMmeasuring socket.

EN 11
digital multimeter BE50
3. Connect the capacitor to be tested to the measuring tips.
Electrolytic capacitors must be connected with correct
polarity (red to plus, black to minus).
Since the charging processes within the capacitor require
a certain amount of time, the indication will be delayed by
up to 30s. This delay is systemic, not a malfunction. Wait
until the displayed value has stabilized before reading the
measured value.
ðThe measured value will be indicated on the display.
Note:
In case of a defective capacitor zero will be displayed.
Bear in mind that electrolytic capacitors can come with a
substantial scattering within their tolerance range.
Residual voltages in the capacitor or damaged insulating
layers/ dielectrics can lead to significantly falsified results.
Measuring frequency/ duty cycle
1. Set the rotary switch to the frequency measuring
range(Hz%).
2. Insert the plug of the red measuring tip into
the V/Ωmeasuring socket and the plug of the black
measuring tip into the COMmeasuring socket.
3. Connect the measuring tips to the measuring object.
ðThe frequency will be displayed.
4. If you want to measure a duty cycle, press the Hz%button.
Measuring temperature
Note
For a temperature measurement never connect the
temperature sensor to a voltage source, since this
would destroy the measuring device.
1. Set the rotary switch to Temp and, if necessary, switch
between the units°C and °F using the °C/°Fbutton.
2. Plug the connectors of the temperature sensor with correct
polarity into the sockets COM(-) and V/Ω(+). The two
sockets for current measurement(10) and (11) must not
be assigned during a temperature measurement.
3. Hold the measuring tip of the temperature sensor to the
measuring object and, if possible, wait for approx.
30seconds until a stable measured value will be
displayed.
4. Disconnect the temperature sensor from the measuring
sockets before switching over into another measuring
mode.
