| Error Display | Probable Cause (from manual) | Fix (Page Reference) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | (Overload) | Input > 600V DC/AC or resistance > 40MΩ | Switch to higher range or AC voltage. Page 22. | | Battery Icon | Internal 9V battery low (<7.2V) | Replace with alkaline 6LR61. Low battery affects accuracy first, then function. Page 28. | | --- (dashes) | Data hold active or frozen display | Press "Hold" button twice to reset. Page 12. | | Noise / Fluctuating | EMI interference near motors or VFDs | Use manual range (REL mode) or shielded leads. Page 31. | iso-tech idm 98 manual

The IDM 98 offers a range of measurement functions, including: Need help locating a specific section or interpreting

The IDM 98 uses a Type-K thermocouple. However, the manual clarifies that the meter reads temperature differential unless you short the leads first to establish ambient baseline. Without reading this page, you might think your oven is 150°C when it is actually 25°C + 150°C differential. Page 22

Now that we've covered the key features, let's move on to the operating instructions outlined in the ISO-Tech IDM 98 manual.

You might think, “It’s just a multimeter—how hard can it be?” The IDM 98, however, is a sophisticated true-RMS digital multimeter capable of measuring capacitance, frequency, temperature (via thermocouple), and diode testing. Without the manual, you are operating blind.
