Preface Thank you for purchasing this brand new product. In order to use this product safely and correctly, please read this manual thoroughly, especially the safety notes. After reading this manual, it is recommended to keep the manual at an easily accessible place, preferably close to the device, for future reference.
I. Overview The UT161B/UT161D/UT161E is a handheld true RMS digital multimeter with high reliability and security (UT161B/UT161D: 6000 counts; UT161E: 22000 counts). With large screen, high resolution analog pointer display, full scale overload protection, and unique appearance design, it becomes a new practical Table of Contents electrical measuring meter.
III. Safety Instructions IV. Electrical Symbols The meter is designed and manufactured according to IEC61010-1 safety standard, and conforms to CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V, and pollution degree 2. If the meter Symbol Description is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.
VII. Function Dial and Function Buttons 2. Function Buttons Short press: Press a button for less than 2s. 1. Function Dial Long press: Press a button for more than 2s. Description Dial Position Button Power off Short press to switch between functions in each compound function position. AC voltage measurement/Low pass filter measurement/ Frequency and duty ratio measurement (UT161E) Button...
Before each use, verify meter operation by measuring a known voltage. VIII. Operating Instructions The input impedance of the meter is about 10MΩ. This load effect may cause Please check the internal batteries first. If “ ” is displayed, replace the batteries measurement errors in high-impedance circuits.

The input impedance of the DC mV range is infinite (about 1GΩ), and it does 3. AC/DC Millivolt Voltage Measurement (Picture 6) not attenuate when measuring weak signals, so the measurement accuracy is high. When the test leads are open, there may be a value on the screen, but this is normal and will not affect the measuring result.
