WARNINGS

To ensure safe operation and service of the meter, follow these

instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in

severe injury or death.

• Before each use verify meter operation by measuring a known

voltage or current.

• Never use the meter on a circuit with voltages that exceed the

category based rating of this meter.

• Do not use the meter during electrical storms or in wet weather.

• Do not use the meter or test leads if they appear to be damaged.

• Use only with CAT III or CAT IV rated test leads.

• Ensure meter leads are fully seated, and keep fingers away

from the metal probe contacts when making measurements.

• Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the probes

are connected.

• Use caution when working with voltages above 25V AC RMS

or 60V DC. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock,

replace batteries when a low battery indicator appears.

• Do not attempt to measure resistance or continuity on a live

circuit.

• Always adhere to local and national safety codes. Use personal

protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury

where hazardous live conductors are exposed.

FUNCTION BUTTONS

ON/OFF

To power ON the meter, rotate the Function Selector switch

from

the OFF setting to any measurement setting. To power OFF the meter,

rotate the Function Selector switch

to the OFF setting. By default,

the meter will automatically power OFF after 15 minutes of inactivity.

If the meter automatically powers OFF while in a measurement

setting, rotate Function Selector

switch to any other setting

(excluding the OFF setting) to power ON the meter.

"SELECT" BUTTON (FOR SECONDARY FUNCTIONS)

The "SELECT" button

activates the secondary function for the

temperature setting, switching between °F and °C. The default

setting (°F) is printed on the meter in white; the secondary setting

(°C) is printed on the meter in orange.

BACKLIGHT

Press Backlight button symbol

to turn ON or OFF the backlight.

The backlight does not automatically power OFF.

RANGE

The meter defaults to auto-ranging mode . This mode

automatically determines the most appropriate measurement range

for the testing that is being conducted.

To manually force the meter to

measure in a different range, use the

"RANGE"

button

1. Press the "RANGE" button

to manually select measurement

range ( is deactivated on the LCD). Repeatedly press the

"RANGE" button

to cycle through the available ranges,

stopping once the desired range is reached.

2. To return to auto-ranging mode, press and hold the "RANGE"

button

for more than one second ( is reactivated).

MAX

When the "MAX" button

is pressed, the meter keeps track of the

Maximum value as the meter continues to take samples.

1. When measuring, press "MAX" button

to display the

maximum value. If a new maximum occurs, the display

updates with that new value.

2. Press "MAX" button

again to return to normal measuring mode.

DATA HOLD

Press the Data Hold button

to hold the current measurement on

the display. Press again to return to live measuring mode.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING TEST LEADS

Do not test if leads are improperly seated. Results could cause

intermittent display readings. To ensure proper connection, firmly

press leads into the input jack completely. Lead guard should be

flush with the meter’s faceplate.

TESTING IN CAT III / CAT IV MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

Ensure the test lead shield is pressed firmly in place. Failure to use

the CATIII / CATIV shield increases arc-flash risk.

TESTING IN CAT II MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS

CAT III / CAT IV shields may be removed for CAT II locations. This

will allow testing on recessed conductors such as standard wall

outlets. Take care not to lose the shields.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AC/DC VOLTAGE (LESS THAN 600V)

1. Insert RED test lead into VΩ jack

, and BLACK test lead into

COM jack

, and rotate function selector switch

to the DC

Voltage or AC Voltage setting. Note "DC" or "AC" on the

display.

2. Apply test leads to the circuit to be tested to measure voltage.

The meter will auto-range to display the measurement in the

most appropriate range.

NOTE: If "–" appears on the LCD, the test leads are being applied to

the circuit in reverse. Swap the position of the leads to correct this.

NOTE: When in a voltage setting and the test leads are open,

readings of order mV may appear on the display. This is noise and

is normal. By touching the test leads together to close the circuit

the meter will measure zero volts.

NOTE: To access mV range for V AC the "RANGE" button

must be used.

ENGLISH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AC CURRENT (LESS THAN 400A)

AC Current is measured by pressing the clamp trigger

to open

the clamp and placing it around a current-carrying wire. When

measuring, care should be taken to ensure that the clamp is

completely closed with trigger

fully released, and that the wire

passes perpendicularly through the center of the clamp in line with

the arrow markings

To measure current:

1. Rotate the Function Selector switch

to the 200/400 A setting.

2. Place clamp around wire. The current measurement will be shown

in the display.

NOTE: If the measurement is less than 20A, rotate the Function

Selector switch

to the 2/20 A setting for improved resolution.

Disconnect test leads when measuring with the clamp.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TEMPERATURE

1. Insert K-type thermocouple into the VΩ

and COM

jacks

(observe polarity markings on thermocouple and meter), and

rotate function selector switch

to the Temperature setting.

NOTE: The meter defaults to Fahrenheit scale in this mode. To enter

Celsius scale, press the "SELECT" button

once. Ensure that the

appropriate icon (either

°F

°C

) appears on the display.

2. To measure temperature, make contact between the

thermocouple tip and the object being measured. When

thermocouple tip and object are in thermal equilibrium, the

measurement on the display will stabilize. The meter will auto-

range to display the measurement in the most appropriate range.

Remove thermocouple before switching meter to other

measurement functions.

The thermocouple included with the original purchase

is suitable for temperatures below 446°F / 230°C only. To

measure higher temperatures, a K-type thermocouple

with the appropriate measurement range should be used.

ENGLISH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

1. Insert RED test lead into VΩ jack

, and BLACK test lead into COM

jack

, and rotate function selector switch

to the Resistance

setting. The resistance symbol will appear on the display.

2. Remove power from circuit.

3. Measure resistance by connecting test leads to circuit. The

meter will auto-range to display the measurement in the most

appropriate range.

NOTE: When in a Resistance setting and the test leads are open

(not connected across a resistor), or when a failed resistor is under

test, the display will indicate O.L. This is normal.

DO NOT attempt to measure resistance on a live circuit.

CONTINUITY

1. Insert RED test lead into VΩ jack

and BLACK test lead into COM

jack

, and rotate function selector switch

to the Continuity

setting.

2. Remove power from circuit.

3. Test for continuity by connecting conductor or circuit with test

leads. If resistance is measured less than 10Ω, an audible signal

will sound and display will show a resistance value indicating

continuity. If circuit is open, display will show "OL".

DO NOT attempt to measure continuity on a live circuit.
