if the resistance is less than approximately 30Ω, the audible signal will sound and the display will show the reading. if the circuit is
open, the display will indicate "ol".

touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction you wish to test. note the meter reading.
4.11.5.
reverse the probe polarity by switching probe position. note this reading.
4.11.6.
the diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
A. if one reading shows a value and the other reading shows "ol", the diode is good.
B. if both readings show "ol", the device is open.
c. if both readings are very small or 0, the device is shorted.
note: the value indicated in the display during the diode check is the forward voltage.

if you wish to measure temperature in °f, set the function switch to the °f range. if you wish to measure temperature in °c, set the
function switch to the °c range.
4.14.2.
insert the type K thermocouple into the thermocouple adaptor ensuring thermocouple "+" positive is matched with the "+" mark on the
adaptor. insert the adaptor into the meter ensuring the "-" negative pin is in the negative com jack and the "+" pin is in the positive
temp jack.
4.14.3.
touch the temperature Probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure. Keep the probe touching the part under test
until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds).
4.14.4.
read the temperature in the display. the digital reading will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
Warning! to avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been removed before changing to another measurement function.

5.1.1.
When the battery become exhausted or drops below the operating voltage, "BAt" will appear in the lcd display. the battery should be
replaced.
5.1.2.
follow instructions for installing the battery. see the Battery installation section of this manual (1.4) dispose of the old battery properly.
Warning! to avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery cover is in place and fastened securely.

rePlAcinG tHe fuses
Warning! to avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the fuse cover.
Warning! Before attempting to open the case, ensure that the test leads have been disconnected from the multimeter and that it is
‰
switched off to avoid electric shock hazard.
5.2.1.
disconnect the test leads from the meter and any item under test.
5.2.2.
open the fuse cover by loosening the screw on the cover using a Phillips head screwdriver.
5.2.3.
remove the old fuse from its holder by gently pulling it out.
5.2.4.
install the new fuse into the holder.
5.2.5.
Always use a fuse of the proper size and value (0.5A/250V fast blow for the 400mA range, 10A/250V fast blow for the 10A range).
5.2.6.
replace the fuse cover back in place. insert the screw and tighten it securely.
Warning! to avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the fuse cover is in place and fastened securely.
‰
5.3.
clean the multimeter's casing using a slightly dampened cloth and mild detergent - do not use any abrasives or solvents.
clean the inside of each terminal using a swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol, use a new swab to apply a light coat of machine oil to each
terminal.
5.4.
if the multimeter is to be stored for a long period of time, remove the battery first to avoid any damage.
