welcome to this overview of the RS pro
RS DM 305 5 digital multimeter the RS DM
305 5 is a five and a half digit bench
multimeter
there's capability to measure DC current
and voltage AC current and voltage to
our resistance and for wire resistance
capacitance and frequency continuity and
IO tests it can also do temperature
measurements with various sensors the
inputs on the front allow you to do both
voltage and current measurements your
continuity and diode tests and then your
for wire resistance tests as well the
navigation buttons on the front allow
you to move through menu systems and the
applications the soft menus on the front
allow you to access functions related to
your measurement on the display the RS /
R STM 305 5 comes with the following
accessories a set of test leads with
nice sharp test probes the leads
themselves are made out of nice flexible
silicon material there are a set of
crocodile clips for clipping on to wires
or switches a USB cable that allows
connectivity to a PC software package
for remote operation of the multimeter a
set of international power cords a
helpful QuickStart guide which explains
the basic operation and functions of the
meter the more detail manual can be
found on the supplied CD as well as
pc-based software which allows you a
remote operation of the RS DM 305 5 at
the back of the multimeter you'll find
the mains input this can be set from a
hundred volts to 240 volts ensure that
you have the switch in the correct
location for your AC voltage supply it
has a built-in fuse an external trigger
a VMC output a LAN and USB input for
remote control and a slot to secure the
multimeter to your bench the RS pro are
STM 305 5 also has a convenient built-in
stand which allows you to set the meter
at a convenient work height on your
bench the main measurement functions of
the our SDM 305 5 lats measure DC
voltage at 2000 volts DC counter to 10
amps ac voltage up to 750 volts and
I see count up to ten amps you can do
capacitance up to ten thousand
microfarad diode tests up to 2 volts
frequency measurements up to one
megahertz and they're supportive both TC
and RTD temperature sensors it does true
RMS and it's measurement speed is up to
one hundred and fifty readings per
second there is an optional USB GPIB
adapter for the RS diem 305 five a the
RS diem 305 five has a large display
this provides nice large viewing of the
measurements up to the five and a half
digits the soft menu system allows you
to vary the speed for many of the
measurement functions in this case we're
measuring a voltage with the speed set
to slow this allows you the best
resolution the update speed is still
fast enough to allow frequent updates
for a changing reading when set to the
fast level the resolution is reduced but
a fast increase in speed can be noted
and used for very fast and rapid
changing measurements the RS diem 305 v
has several built-in applications and
display modes these can be accessed with
the keypad any functions noted in blue
can be accessed with a shift button in
this case we're going to demonstrate the
bar meter if you have readings that are
changing rapidly the bar meter can
provide a nice and log type reading if
the fast digits become distracting
another handy feature is the trend chart
this will allow you to monitor a reading
that changes over time and can auto
scale if readings exceed the current
range on the display this feature is
very useful because it will continue to
run in the background even if you need
to change the main display so as we go
back to the main display and back to the
trending all our information has been
retained another very useful feature
included with the RS / R SDM 305 5 is a
dual capability this allows you to
display two readings for a single input
in this case we're measuring an AC
voltage if we wanted to see the
frequency we can select that function
and it's displayed on the main display
or we can revert to the original reading
use the dual function and then select
the secondary function that we want
displayed this will then bring up a
secondary display with a function of our
choice so you can see both the voltage
and the frequency at the same time on
the main display when wired up correctly
this function will allow you to display
both the voltage and a current reading
at the same time for a full list of all
the measurements and functionality of
this meter please consult the user
manual or go to RS procom thanks very
much for watching this overview of the
