Operation
AC and DC Voltage
WARNING:
Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the V position.
2. Momentarily press the MODE button
to select AC or DC voltage. "AC" or "DC"
will appear on the LCD display.
3. Insert the black test lead into the
negative COM input jack and the
red test lead into the positive V input jack.
4. Touch the test probe tips in parallel to
the circuit under test. For DC measurements,
touch the red test probe to the positive side
of the circuit and the black test probe to the
negative side of the circuit.
5. Read the voltage on the LCD display.
AC and DC Current Measurements
WARNING:
Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages.
Do not measure current on conductors that exceed 1000V. Measurements on the
10A range should be limited to 30 seconds max. every 15 minutes.
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM input jack.
2. For current measurements up to 10A,
set the rotary function switch to the 10A position
and insert the red test lead into the positive
10A input jack.
3. For current measurements up to 400mA,
set the rotary function switch to the mA position
and insert the red test lead into the positive mA
input jack.
4. For current measurements up to 4000µA, set the
rotary function switch to the µA position and insert
the red test lead into the positive µA input jack.
5. Momentarily press the MODE button to select
AC or DC current. "AC" or "DC" will appear on the
LCD display.

Operation
6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the
point where you wish to measure current.
7. Touch the test probe tips in series with the circuit being tested.
For DC measurements, touch the red test probe to the positive side of the
V
circuit and the black test probe to the negative side of the circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current on the LCD display.
Resistance Measurements
WARNING:
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
CAP position.
2. Press the MODE button until "M "
appears on the LCD display.
3. Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM input jack Insert the red test lead into
the positive
4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit
or component under test. It is best to
disconnect one side of the device under
test so the rest of the circuit will not
interfere with the resistance reading.
5. Read the resistance on the LCD display.
