Page 5: Safety Regulations
It has been inspected for proper operation of all of its functions and tested by qualified factory technicians according to the long-established standards of Amprobe. Safety Regulations This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the instrument safely and maintaining the instrument in a safe operating condition. - Page 6 WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.

Page 8: Operation
Operation DC Voltage, AC Voltage, Hz Frequency functions Inputs are made through the test lead terminals. Move the slide-switch to the “V” position. The unit defaults at DC voltage. Press SELECT button momentarily to select AC voltage. To activate the Hz Frequency function, press the Hz button momentarily. Note: 400.0mV range is designed with 1000MΩ... - Page 9 Note: Hz input sensitivity varies automatically with function range selected while activating the Hz function. Lowest range has the highest sensitivity, and the highest range has the lowest sensitivity. Activating the Hz function WHILE measuring the specific function signal (auto ranging) can automatically select the best sensitivity range to avoid electrical noise that may cause unstable Hz reading.
- Page 10 Diode test function Inputs are made through the test lead terminals. Move the slide-switch to the “Ω” position. The unit defaults at Ω. Press SELECT button momentarily 2 times to select Diode test function. Normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to 0.900V.
- Page 11 ACA Current clamp-on function Inputs are made through the clamp on jaws for non-invasive ACA current measurements. Press the OFF push button momentarily to power on and off the separate ACA function (upper) display. The MAX HOLD push button can also be used to power on this function. This twin ACA function display can be used simultaneously with voltage measurements or any of the other slide-switch functions (lower display) or it can be used alone.
- Page 12 Make sure the jaws are completely closed, or else it will introduce measurement errors. Strong Electro-magnetic field environments such as high-current transformers, motors and conductors may affect measurement accuracy. Temperature function Insert the banana plug type-K temperature bead probe (TPK-59), observing the proper + - polarities.
- Page 13 Application notes: The DC µA function is designed especially for HVAC/R flame sensor applications. The 0.1µA resolution is useful for identifying the minute current changes in flame detector applications. Flame signal current check should indicate steady flame signal of at least 2µA for a rectification type, 1.5µA for an ultraviolet type, or 8µA for self-checking systems.

Auto-ranging When there is more than one measuring range under a selected meter function, the LED annunciator “a” turns on in the upper left corner. The meter will automatically switch to the best resolution range when making measurements. No manual ranging selection is required. - Page 15 Battery replacement The meter uses 2 standard 3V alkaline button batteries (ANSI/NEDA-5004LC, IEC-CR2030). The lower battery is used for the slide-switch functions, and the upper battery is used for the upper display ACA function separately. Low Battery Indication: When the battery voltage drops below approx. 2.4V, a battery symbol will appear in the upper right corner of the LCD display, indicating that the battery needs replacing.
