OPERATION:
WARNING:
Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very
dangerous and should be measured with great care.
1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter
is not in use. This meter has Auto OFF that automatically shuts the
meter OFF if 15 minutes elapse between uses.
2. If "OL" appears in the display during a measurement, the value
exceeds the range you have selected. Change to a higher range.
NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not
connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing reading.
This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity. The reading
will stabilize and give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit.
MODE BUTTON:
To select Diode/Continuity or DC/AC current
RANGE BUTTON:
When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into AutoRan-
ging. This automatically selects the best range for the measurements being
made and is generally the best mode for most measurements. For measu-
rement situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the
following:
1. Press the RANGE button. The "AUTO" display indicator will turn off.
2. Press the RANGE button to step through the available ranges until you
select the range you want.
3. Press and hold the RANGE button for 2 seconds to exit the Manual
Ranging mode and return to AutoRanging.
(If backlight is turn on, please press BACKLIGHT button it will turn off)
DATA HOLD BUTTON:
The Data Hold function allows the meter to "freeze" a measurement for
later reference.
1. Press the DATA HOLD button to "freeze" the reading on the indicator.
The indicator "HOLD" will be appear in the display.
2. Press the DATA HOLD button to return to normal operation.
RELATIVE BUTTON:
The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements re-
lative to a stored reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be
stored and measurements made in comparison to that value. The displayed
value is the difference between the reference value and the measured value.
1. Perform any measurement as described in the operating instructions.
2. Press the RELATIVE button to store the reading in the display and the
"REL" indicator will appear on the display.
3. The display will now indicate the difference between the stored value
and the measured value.
4. Press the RELATIVE button to return to normal operation.
BACKLIGHT BUTTON:
1. Press the BACKLIGHT button 2 seconds the display light ON
2. Press BACKLIGHT button again to exit the light mode.
Hz/%duty BUTTON:
Press Hz/Duty Button to choose Frequency or Duty Cycle in the range of
Frequency; Press Hz/%Duty Button to measure Frequency or Duty Cycle
while measures voltage or Current, the Voltage/Current requirement and
range of Frequency see the following form, press Hz/%Duty Button to
return to measurement of Voltage or Current.

Manuale di istruzioni/Scheda tecnica
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS:
CAUTION:
Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON
or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.
1. Set the function switch to the V DC position
("mV" will appear in the display).
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack
and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. Be sure to observe the
correct polarity (red lead to positive, black lead to negative).
4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the proper
decimal point and value. If the polarity is reversed, the display will
show (-) minus before the value.
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS:
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long
enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances
because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the
reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it.
Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the
outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.
CAUTION:
Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched
ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.
1. Set the function switch to the VAC position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack
and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the proper
decimal point, value and symbol (AC, V, etc.).
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS:
CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for
longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the
meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
2. For current measurements up to 4000µA DC, set the function switch to
the µA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (µA) jack.
3. For current measurements up to 400mA DC, set the function switch to
the mA range and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (mA) j ack.
4. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to
the A position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
5. Press the AC/DC button until "DC" appears in the display.
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 black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current in the display.
The display will indicate the proper decimal point, value and symbol.
AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS:
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any
circuit whose voltage exceeds 250V AC.
CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for
longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the
meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
2. For current measurements up to 4000µA AC, set the function switch to
the µA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (µA) jack.
3. For current measurements up to 400mA AC, set the function switch to
Frequency width
the mA range and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (mA) jack.
4. For current measurements up to 10A AC, set the function switch to the
5Hz~10kHz
A position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
5Hz~20kHz
5. Press the AC/DC button until "AC" appears in the display.
5Hz~200kHz
6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at
the point where you wish to measure current.
50Hz~1kHz
7. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.
5Hz~5kHz
And touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.Read the current in the display.
