CAUTIONS

  • Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual before operating the meter.
  • Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
  • Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter.
  • Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages constitute a shock hazard.
  • Warning! This is a class ‘A’ device. This equipment can cause residential radio signal interference.
  • Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
  • Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of the connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Use other means to ensure that the terminals are not ‘live’.
  • Do not operate this device in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
  • Do not allow children or pets access to this device, its batteries and other accessories, or the packaging materials.
  • If this device is going to be unused for an extended period, remove the batteries.
  • Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with the skin. Always use suitable hand protection.
  • Do not short-circuit the batteries and do not dispose of batteries in fire.

We designed this device for safe use but please operate with caution. Follow the safety rules, below, for safe operation.

  1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:
  2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
  3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the “COM” input jack exceeds 600V above earth ground.
  4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode position; doing so can damage the meter.
  5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making resistance or diode tests.
  6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the covers to replace the fuse or batteries.
  7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse covers are in place and fastened securely.
  8. Do not use the device immediately after moving it from a cold to a warm environment; condensation may form and damage the meter. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature before use.
  9. Do not use the meter immediately before, during, or after an electrical storm (thunder, lightning, etc.).
  10. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Multimeter Operating Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous; please measure with great care.

  1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.
  2. When Manual ranging, if ‘OL’ appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the selected range. Change to a higher range.

AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION

The meter defaults to the Auto Range mode. This automatically selects the best range for measurements and is generally the best mode for most measurements. For Manual Range operation:

  1. Press the R (Range) button. The “AUTO” display indicator will disappear.
  2. Press the R key to step through available ranges until you select the desired range.
  3. Long press R to exit to return to Auto Range mode.Note: Manual ranging does not apply for the Capacitance and Frequency functions.

MAXIMUM (MAX), MINIMUM (MIN), and MAX minus MIN modes

Note: The Auto Range function is not available in MAX/MIN mode. Please select the desired range manually before entering MAX/MIN mode. If the reading exceeds that range, ‘OL’ will appear. Auto Range mode will re-activate when you exit MAX/MIN mode.

  1. Short press MAX/MIN to activate the MAX/MIN recording mode. The display icon “MAX” will appear. The meter will display and hold the maximum reading and will update only when a new “max” occurs.
  2. Press MAX/MIN again and the display icon “MIN” will appear. The meter will display and hold the minimum reading and will update only when a new “min” occurs.
  3. Press MAX/MIN again and the display icon “MAX-MIN” will appear. The meter will display and hold the MAX minus the MIN reading.
  4. Long press MAX/MIN to exit.

RELATIVE ZERO MODE

The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored reference. In this mode, the displayed value represents the difference between the reference and the measured value. Also, use this button to zero the display by removing stray signals before taking a reading.

  1.  Take a measurement.
  2. Press the REL button to store the reading; the relative icon will appear.
  3. The display will then indicate the difference between the stored value and subsequent measurements.
  4. Press the REL button to exit the relative mode.

LCD BACKLIGHT

Long press the backlight key to switch the backlight ON/OFF.

DATA HOLD

The Data Hold function freezes the reading in the display. Short press the H (Hold) key to activate/deactivate the Data Hold function.

AUTO POWER OFF (APO)

APO will turn the meter off after 5 minutes of inactivity. The meter will emit five audible beeps approximately 1 minute before automatically powering off, after which the meter loudly beeps once as it switches off. To wake the meter, press the M button; no need to turn the rotary switch.To disable APO, press and hold the M button while turning the function switch from the OFF position to any other position. Five (beeps) will sound indicating that the APOfeature has been disabled. Note that the APO will be re-enabled on the next cycle of power to the meter.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION

The battery icon will appear when the battery voltage is critical. Replace the battery before continuing to use the meter.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
