W Read First: Safety Information
Never use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged.
Be sure the test leads and switch are in the correct position
for the desired measurement.
Never measure resistance in a circuit when power is applied.
Never touch the probe to a voltage source when the test
leads are plugged into the 10 A or 40 mA input jack.
Never apply more than rated voltage between any input jack
and earth ground.
Be careful when working with voltages above 60 V dc or 30
V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the test
probes when making measurements.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to
possible electric shock or personal injury, replace
the battery as soon as the battery indicator M
appears.

  • Page 4: Frequency (Hz)

    Standby If the meter is on but is inactive for an hour (20 minutes in diode test), the screen only displays four bar graph segments. To resume operation, turn the rotary switch or press a button. AC and DC Voltage (K L m L) Volts AC Volts DC Millivolts DC...

  • Page 6: Lead Resistance Compensation

    Lead Resistance Compensation This function compensates for resistance in the leads and the meter’s internal protection circuitry. You can compensate in either Lo-Ohms or continuity. RANGE RANGE RANGE RANGE 1 second jo17f.eps When zero is displayed, compensation has occurred. The meter stays compensated until you change functions.
  • Page 7 Continuity Test ( R ) RANGE RANGE jo8f.eps Opens or shorts > 1 ms are detected. Press momentarily for lead compensation. Press 1 second to turn the beeper off and place the meter into Lo-Ohms autoranging. Capacitance (E) Turn off the power and discharge the capacitor. If the capacitor requires more discharging, diSC displays while the capacitor discharges.
  • Page 8: Probe Holder

    Turn off power to the circuit. Break the circuit. (For circuits of more than 10 amps, use a current clamp.) Put the meter in series with the circuit as shown and turn power on. RANGE jo10f.eps Probe Holder jo21f.eps Maintenance Warning To avoid electric shock, remove the test leads before opening the case, and close the case before...
