SAFETY

Please read the safety instructions provided in

the separate booklet provided with the device.

Risk of electrocution. High voltage circuits, both

AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be

measured with great care.

Turn function switch OFF when meter is not in

use. “OL“ appears when a measurement exceeds

the selected range.

BATTERY

To avoid electric shock, remove test leads from

the meter before removing battery/fuse cover.

This appliance should only be used with the

supplied 4x AAA alkaline batteries or similar AAA

batteries.

FIRST TIME USAGE

Remove all protection foils.

Open the battery compartment and insert the

4x AAA alkaline batteries. Please take care to

respect indicated polarities.

USE

RANGE-BUTTON

The autorange mode automatically selects the

proper range for the measurement being made

and is generally best for most applications.

For measurement situatons requiring that a range

be manually selected, perform the following:

· Press the RANGE-button [03]. The “AUTO”

indicator [U] will no longer be shown on the

display.

· Press the RANGE-button [03] to step through

the available ranges until the desired range is

selected.

· To exit the Manual Ranging mode, press and

hold the RANGE-button [03] until the “AUTO”

indicator [U] reappears.

NOTE

The RANGE-button [03] does not work on

Frequency Duty Cycle, Capacitance or Temper-

ature.

MODE-BUTTON

Press the MODE-Button [04] to select AC or DC,

Frequency or Duty Cycle, Resistance, Continuity

or Diode test and °C or °F.

REL-BUTTON

The RELATIVE function zeros out the reading on

the display and stores it as a reference.

Subsequent readings will be displayed as the

relative difference between the actual

measurement and the stored reference value.

· To activate, press the REL-button [02]. The “REL”

indicator [W] will appear on the display along

with the relative reading.

· Press the REL button [02] again to return to

normal operation.

NOTE

The meter does not AUTO-range when the

relative mode is active. The display will show

“OL”(Overload) [Z]ifthedifrenceexceedsthe

range. REL does not work on frequency, Duty

Cycle, Temperature or Low Z.

MAX/MIN/AVG-BUTTON

Press the MAX/MIN/AVG-button [12] to activate

the MAX/MIN mode. The “MAX” [Y] indicator will

appear on the LCD display. The meter will display

and hold the maximum reading and will update

when a higher “MAX” occurs.

· Press the MAX/MIN/AVG-button [12] again to

view the lowest reading. The “MIN” [Y] will ap-

pear on the LCD display. The meter will display

and hold the minimum reading and will update

when a lower “MIN” occurs.

· Press the MAX/MIN/AVG-button [12] again to

view the average reading. The “AVG“ [Y] symbol

will appear on the LCD display. The meter will

display the running average and will update

when the average value changes.

· Press and hold the MAX/MIN/AVG-button [12]

to end MAX/MIN/AVG and return to normal

operations.

NOTE

MAX/MIN does not work on Frequency, Duty

Cycle, Capacitance or Temperature.

BACKLIGHT/HOLD-BUTTON

To freeze the reading on the LCD display, press

the HOLD-button [10]. The “HOLD” indicator [V]

will be displayed while the reading is being held.

Press the HOLD-button [10] again to exit HOLD

and return to normal operation.

· To turn the backlight in the display on, press

and hold the HOLD button until the backlight

turns on. To turn the backlight off, press and

hold the HOLD buttton until the backlight turns

off.

AUTO BACKLIGHT

When the meter is in the darkness, the backlight

can be automatically opened, not controlled by

the button.

FLASHLIGHT/PEAK-BUTTON

Press the PEAK-button [11]toturntheashlight

on or off. The PEAK function is accessible when

measuring AC voltage or Current. It captures and

displays the highest positive peak and the high-

est negative peak of the AC waveform.

· Press and hold the PEAK-button [11] untill “Peak

MAX” [X] appears on the display. The meter

will display the highest reading and will update

the reading when a higher positive peak occurs.

· To view highest negative peak, press and hold

the PEAK-button [11] until “Peak MIN” [X]

apears on the display. The meter will display

and hold the largest negative reading. The

meter will update the reading when a larger

negative peak occurs.

· Press the PEAK-button [11] for approximately

one second to switch between Peak MAX and

Peak MIN readings.

· Press and hold the PEAK-button [11] to exit

PEAK and return to normal operation.

NOTE

The meter does not Autorange when the Peak

mode is active. The display will read “OL” (over-

load) [Z] if the range is exceeded. When this

occurs, exit Peak and use the RANGE-button [3]

to select a higher range. Peak does not work on

DCV, DCA, Frequency, Duty Cycle, Capacitan-

ceor Low Z.

AC/DV VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

—

NOTE

Observe all safety precautions when working

on live voltages!

· Set the rotary function switch [05] to the V

~Hz% position.

· Press the MODE-button [04] to select AC or DC

voltage. The AC “~” [S] or DC “ ” [Q] symbol

will appear on the display.

· Insert the black test lead into the COM input

jack [08] and the red test lead into the V input

jack [09].

· Touch the test lead probes to the circuit under

test. If measuring DC voltage, touch the red

test lead to the positive side of the circuit and

the black test lead to the negative side of the

circuit.

· Read the voltage on the display.

FREQUENCY AND % DUTY CYCLE

MEASUREMENTS

—

NOTE

Observe all safety precautions when working

on live voltages!

· Set the rotary function switch [05] to the V

~Hz% position.

· To select Frequency, press and hold the

MODE-button [04] until the “Hz” symbol [K]

appears on the display. To select % Duty Cycle,

press and hold the MODE-button [04] again

until the “%” [N] appears on the display.

· Insert the black test lead into the COM input

jack [08] and the red test lead into the V input

jack [09].

· Touch the test lead probes to the circuit under

test.

· Read the frequency or % duty cycle on the

display.

· To return to AC voltage, press and hold the

MODE-button [04] again until the “~” symbol

[S] appears on the display.

NOTE

The Frequency function can only be accessed

when the meter is set to AC voltage.

LOW Z VOLTAGE

— +

NOTE

Observe all safety precautions when working

on live voltages!

Do not connect to circuits that exceed 600V

AC/DC when the meter is set to Low Z!

Low Z is used when there is a suspicion of a

“ghost” voltage. Ghost voltages are present when

non-powered wires are in close proximity to wires

between wires make it appear that non-powered

wires are connected to a real source of voltage.

The low Z setting places a load on the circuit,

which dissipates and greatly reduces ghost

voltage.

· Set the rotary function switch [05] to the Low Z

position.

· Press the MODE-button [04] to select AC or DC

voltage. The AC “~” [S] or DC “ ” [Q] symbol

will appear on the display.

· Insert the black test lead into the COM input

jack [08] and the red test lead into the V input

jack [09]. If measuring DC voltage, touch the

red test lead to the positive side of the circuit

and the black test lead to the negative side of

the circuit.

· Read the voltage on the display.

AC/DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

—

MAX. 600mA

MAX. 10A

NOTE

Observe all safety precautions when working

on live circuits.

Do not measure current on circuits that exceed

1000V. Measurements in the 10A range should

be limited to 30 seconds maximum every 15

minutes.

· Insert the black test lead into the negative COM

input jack [08]

· For current measurements up to 600mA, set the

rotary function switch [05] to the mA position

and insert the red test lead into the µA/mA

input jack [07].

· For current measurements up to 6000µA, set

the rotary function switch [05] to the µA posi-

tion and insert the red test lead into the µA/mA

input jack [07].

· For current measurements up to 10A, set the

rotary fucntion switch [05] to the 10A position

and insert the red test lead into the 10A input

jack [06].

· Press the MODE-button [04] to select AC or DC

current. The AC “~” [S] or DC “ ” [Q] symbol will

appear on the display.

· Remove power from the circuit under test, then

open up the circuit at the point where you wish

to measure current.

· Touch the test lead probes in series with the

circuit being measured. For DC current, touch

the red probe to the positive side of the circuit

and touch the black probe to the negative side

of the circuit.

· Apply power to the circuit.

· Read the current on the display.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT

— +

NOTE

Never test resistance on a live circuit.
