WARNINGS

• 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.

• Do not attempt to measure voltages greater than 600V in LoZ setting.

• To avoid risk of electric shock, disconnect leads from any voltage

source before removing battery door.

• To avoid risk of electric shock, do not operate meter while battery

door is removed.

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 10 minutes of inactivity.

To deactivate the power OFF functionality press and hold the SEL

button

before powering ON from the OFF setting. When auto

power OFF is deactivated, the Auto Power Off icon will not be

visible in the display.

SEL (SELECT) BUTTON (FOR SECONDARY FUNCTIONS)

The SEL button

activates the secondary function for each

application accessible by the function selector switch

• In Voltage

V /

and Low Impedance modes, it toggles

between AC and DC measurements.

• In Temperature

mode, it toggles between

°F (Fahrenheit) and

°C (Celsius) measurements.

• In Continuity/Resistance/Capacitance/Diode-Test

mode, it

toggles through these measurements in order

The default function for each application is printed on the meter in

white, the secondary functions in orange. An icon on the LCD display

will indicate which function is active.

DATA HOLD

Press the Data Hold / Backlight button

to hold the measurement

on the display. Press again to release the display to return to live

measuring.

BACKLIGHT

Press and hold the Data Hold / Backlight button

for more than 2

seconds to turn ON the backlight. Repeat process to turn 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).

ENGLISH

FUNCTION BUTTONS

MAX/MIN

When the "MAX/MIN" button

is pressed, the meter keeps track of

the Maximum, Minimum and Average values as the meter continues

to take samples.

1. When measuring, press "MAX/MIN" button

to toggle between

the Maximum value (MAX), Minimum value (MIN) and Average

value (AVG). If a new Maximum, Minimum or Average occurs, the

display will update with the new value.

2. Press "MAX/MIN" button

for more than one second to return to

normal measuring mode.

RELATIVE MODE

When the REL/LPF button

is pressed, the meter will show the

relative value on the main display and real time measurement on the

secondary display. Press the REL/LPF button

to return to normal

measuring mode.

LOW-PASS FREQUENCY MODE

For voltage readings of high frequency motors, long press the REL/

LPF button

and meter will apply a low pass filter to ensure a more

accurate reading. Long press the REL/LPF button

to return to

normal measuring mode.

NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE TESTING

Approach the conductor under test leading with the non-contact

voltage sensor

. The meter delivers visual warning signals

when AC voltage is detected by the non-contact voltage sensor.

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.

INCORRECT

CORRECT

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

AC CURRENT (LESS THAN 600A)

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 AC current Asetting.

2. Place clamp

around wire. The current measurement will be

shown in the display.

The meter will auto-range to display the

measurement in the most appropriate

range.

Disconnect test leads when

measuring with the clamp.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INRUSH CURRENT

The Inrush feature captures starting current of a compressor motor.

Starting current can assist in diagnosing a motor before it fails.

To measure inrush current:

1. Rotate the Function Selector switch

the AC current Asetting.

2. Place clamp

around wire. The

current measurement will be shown in

the display.

3. Long press the V+A/Inrush button

for 2 seconds to enter the Inrush mode and manually select 60A

or 600A range by pressing the RANGE button

. Place the clamp

around the compressor start wire and turn motor on. The starting

current will hold on the main display. The Inrush measurement

period is 100-miliseconds.

4. Long press V+A/Inrush button

for 2 seconds to exit.

MICROAMPS DC CURRENT

Microamps DC is applied to a flame rectifier diode test on a heater

control.

1. Rotate the Function Selector switch

to the µA setting.

2. Connect the leads between flame sensor

probe and control module and turn on

heating unit.

3. The current measurement will be

shown in the main display.

NOTE: When the flame is on, there should be a measureable µA

DC signal, typically under 10 μA DC. Compare measurement to

manufacturer’s specifications.
