Information about the device
Device description
The multimeter is a battery-powered, mobile hand-held
measuring device with an extensive range of measurement
possibilities.
The integrated thermal imaging camera helps you to detect
electrical problems, validate troubleshooting and document it in
reports. Hotspots on high-voltage installations and transformers
can be checked from a safe distance and heating, e.g. of fuses,
insulators, connectors or wires, can be detected.
The true RMS measuring function allows for the precise
measurement of sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal signals
generated due to faults, e.g. by frequency inverters or switching
power supplies of computers.
The device is equipped with the following functional properties
and equipment features:
• Thermal imaging camera
• Automatic/manual selection of the measuring range
• TFTdisplay
• Can also be operated while wearing gloves

Overvoltage protection and measurement category
The design of a measurement device determines in which
environments and for which voltages it can be safely used. What
is important in this connection for example is the touchability of
live parts, anti-kink protection guards on the measuring lines or
the insulation. Depending on the design details, the
measurement device can carry out safe measurements up to a
specific voltage in one or several measuring categories. The
measurement category is specified on the measurement device
as well as in the operating manual.
This measurement device is suited for measurement
categoriesCAT III (600V) and CAT IV (300V).
This means that the measuring device may be used in low-
voltage house installations for voltages up to 600V and at the
house connection point for voltages up to 300V.
Thermal imaging camera
When the thermal imaging camera is switched on, the device
measures surface temperatures without contact by means of an
infrared sensor.
For an exact measurement of the surface temperature, the
emissivity of the material to be measured needs to be set.
Degree of emission
The degree of emission is used to describe the energy radiation
characteristics of a material.
Most organic materials have an emissivity of0.95. Metals or
shiny materials come with a much lower value.
A material's emissivity depends on various factors, e.g. on
• Material composition
• Surface condition
• Temperature
The emissivity can range between 0.1 and 1 (in theory).
The following rule of thumb can be assumed:
• When a material is rather dark and its surface texture matt,
it probably has a high emissivity.
• The brighter and smoother the surface of a material, the
lower will be its emissivity, presumably.
• The higher the degree of emission of the surface to be
measured, the better it is suited for non-contact
temperature measurement by use of a pyrometer or
thermal imaging camera, since falsifying temperature
reflections become negligible.
Nevertheless, entering a degree of emission as appropriate as
possible is indispensable for a precise measurement.
Emissivity table
The table below may be used as reference for setting the
degree of emission. It supplies reference values for the
emissivity of common materials.

Undefined displays
If measuring inputs are open or touched by hand, this can lead
to undefined displays. This is not a malfunction but a reaction of
the sensitive measuring input to existing interference voltages.
Normally, when there is no high interference level at the
workplace or in case of a short circuit at the measuring input
zero is displayed immediately. Or, if the measuring object is
connected, the exact measured value is displayed. Fluctuations
in the displayed value by some digits are systemic and within
the tolerance.
If the resistance measuring range, the continuity testing range
or the diode test was selected and the measuring input is open,
the OLindication (exceedance of the measuring range) will be
displayed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE MEASURING PROCESS!
Warning of electrical voltage
Improper handling of the measuring device entails a
risk of electric shock!
Before carrying out voltage measurements, observe the
following:
• Never apply a voltage exceeding the rated nominal voltage
of the measuring device between the connections or
between the connections and earth (see imprint on the
housing).
• Check the measuring tips for damaged insulation and for
continuity. Replace damaged measuring tips.
• Check the insulation of the measuring device sockets.
• Before commissioning, check the function of the device at
a known voltage source, e.g. on a known and safe230V
voltage source or on a known and safe 9Vbattery.
• First connect the measuring tip connected to earth and
afterwards the live measuring tip. When disconnecting the
measuring tips, proceed in reverse order, i.e. disconnect
the live measuring tip first.
• Prior to every voltage measurement make sure that the
measuring device is not set to the current measuring
range.
• If the device indicates an exceedance of the measuring
range(OL) immediately after being connected to the
measuring object, first switch off the circuit at the
measuring object, then immediately remove the measuring
tips from the measuring object.
• Do not switch any motors in the measuring circuit on or off
during a measurement. Voltage peaks caused by a switch-
on or switch-off can damage the measuring device.
Measuring DCvoltage
1. Turn the rotary switch(4) to
AC+DC
(21).
2. Insert the plug of the black measuring tip into the
COMmeasuring socket(6) and the plug of the red
measuring tip into the V/Hzmeasuring socket(5).
3. Connect both measuring tips to the measuring object with
correct polarity (black to minus, red to plus).
ðThe measured value will be indicated on the display.
ðIf the input voltage is negative, a minus(-) will appear in

Example:

EN 15
digital true RMS multimeter with thermal imaging camera BE60
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 connect a
consumer.
• For reasons of safety, measure whether there is a residual
charge in the capacitor (using the VDCrange) before you
perform a capacitance measurement.
• Completely remove the capacitor from the circuit. To do
so, remove all contacts to the circuit and make the poles of
the capacitor freely accessible.
Please proceed as follows to measure the capacitance:
1. Turn the rotary switch(4) to Ω/ /CAP(23), then use
the MODE/RANGEbutton(17) to select the capacitance
measurement (nFindication(28)).
2. Insert the plug of the red measuring tip into the
V/Hzmeasuring socket(5) and the plug of the black
measuring tip into the COMmeasuring socket(6).
3. Connect the capacitor to be measured 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 30seconds. 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.
ðIn case of a defective capacitor zero will be displayed.
