Page 4: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions • Do not use the meter if you are unfamiliar with electric circuits and testing procedures. • To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test leads from the circuit under testing before you replace the batteries and fuse. • Do not operate the meter until the batteries are properly installed and the back cover and battery compartment cover are in place and secured. - Page 5 • The test leads (black and red) supplied with your meter are rated for 1000 volts but do not try to measure any voltage greater than 600 volts DC/600 volts RMS AC. Use only test leads of the same rating as the meter. • Your multimeter is designed primarily to measure household AC voltages. Because of the dangers inherent in measuring three-phase circuits, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT USE THIS METER TO MEASURE 3-PHASE, LINE-TO-LINE VOLTAGE. If you still want to, put on protective clothing – a face shield and fireproof gloves and upper body protection is required before measuring.

Page 7: Special Panel Markings
Special Panel Markings The maximum voltage that this meter can measure is 600V RMS AC or 600V 600V DC. To avoid electric shock and damage to the meter, do not connect the two input terminals (-COM and +V.Ω.mA) to any source that exceeds 600 volts with respect to ground. The maximum current that this meter can measure at this jack is 400mA DC or 400mA Caution: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Refer to the complete operating instructions. Caution: Be extremely careful when taking high-voltage measurements. DO NOT TOUCH TERMINALS OR TEST LEAD ENDS. CAT II This equipment is rated for installation category II (3600 VA max.). 10A MAX. The maximum current you can measure at this jack is 10 amps DC/AC. This UNFUSED jack is not fuse-protected. -
Page 8: Install The Batteries
Install the Batteries Before installing batteries, turn off the multimeter and disconnect the test leads. Install three AAA batteries (not included), matching the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside. When appears, replace the batteries. • Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. • If you do not plan to use the meter for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts. Connect the Test Leads 1. -

Page 10: Measuring Dc/Ac Voltage
Caution: • If you are measuring voltage or current when OF (overflow) appears, immediately disconnect the test leads from the circuit. • When measuring high-voltage circuits, do not position both test leads at once. Connect the black test lead first to the circuit’s neutral or ground lead. Then, using one hand, probe for voltages with the other test lead. This helps prevent accidentally touching a hot wire. Measuring DC/AC Voltage DO NOT try to measure voltages above 600 V DC/AC (RMS). 1. Set the function dial to V . 2. -
Page 11: Measuring Ac Voltage Riding On A Dc Source Bias
Measuring AC Voltage Riding on a DC Source Bias Warning: To avoid injury or damage to your meter, never try to measure an AC voltage on a DC source bias where the peak AC voltage exceeds 100V with respect to earth ground. 1. Set the function dial to V (DC voltage). Measure the DC voltage first to ensure that it does not exceed 100V. 2. Disconnect power from the circuit. 3. Press SELECT (AC mode). appears. -

Measuring DC/AC Current 1. Disconnect power from the circuit and discharge all capacitors. 2. Rotate the function dial to mA/A . 3. Press SELECT to select DC or AC. appears for AC current measurement. 4. Break the circuit and connect the black test lead to one of the two connection points. 5. -
Page 13: Measuring Resistance
Measuring Resistance 1. Disconnect power from the circuit and discharge all capacitors. 2. Rotate the function dial to Ω . 3. Repeatedly press SELECT to select Ω, KΩ, or MΩ. 4. Connect the black test lead to one component lead. 5. -
Page 14: Checking Continuity
Checking Continuity You can check for shorted or open electrical circuits. 1. Disconnect power from the circuit and discharge all capacitors. 2. Rotate the function dial to Ω . 3. Repeatedly press SELECT until appears. 4. Connect the black test lead to one end of the circuit and the red lead to the other end. • Open appears if the circuit resistance is greater than about 50 ±10 ohms (meaning the circuit is not shorted). - Page 15 3. Press SELECT until appears. 4. Connect the black test lead to the cathode or a component pin. 5. Connect the red test lead to the anode or the other component pin, or remove one of the leads of the component from its circuit and touch the test leads across the component.

Page 16: Checking Batteries
Checking Batteries The meter can accurately check the following batteries under designated load conditions: • 1.5V C • 1.5V D • 1.5V AA • 1.5V AAA • 9V batteries. 1. Rotate the function dial to your desired setting. 2. Connect the black test lead to the battery’s negative (–) terminal 3. Connect the red test lead to the battery’s positive (+) terminal. • If you connect the test leads in reverse polarity, – appears on the left side of the display. Use this table to determine the battery’s charge. - Page 17 Battery Range Display Action < 0.010 volts No value appears. < 0.10 volts Replace the battery. < 1 volt Voltage and Bad appear. < 6 volts 1 – 1.1 volts AAA/AA/C/D 6 - 6.6 volts The battery is good. 1.1 – 1.5 volts Voltage and Good appear. 6.6 - 9 volts > 1.5 volts The battery is full. > 9 volts > 2 volts .OF appears > 11 volts...

Page 18: Additional Information
Additional Information Replacing the Fuse If the meter does not operate or “FUSE Bad” Fuse appears on the display, you might need to Installed replace the fuse. Use the supplied spare fuse or a 5 × 20mm, 500mA, 250V Cooper Bussmann S501 series fuse or equivalent sand filled ceramic fuse. 1. Turn off the meter and disconnect the test leads. 2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the back cover of the meter. -
Page 19: Auto Power Off
Auto Power Off Your meter conserves power by automatically turning off about 30 minutes after the last time you changed a setting (even if you are taking measurements). The meter short beeps several times and long beeps once about 1 minute, then turns off. Press any button or select another function to turn it on. To set the meter so that it does not turn off automatically, press and hold HOLD and SELECT at the same time, as you turn on the meter. PLoc appears. When you release HOLD and SELECT. -
