4. Operating Instructions 4.5 Backlight Source 4.1 Function Switching 1) If the environment is too dark for reading during measurement, hold on to the " " key for more than 1) Press the "FUNC" key to switch between AC and DC 2 seconds to turn on the backlight source.
4) Connect the common test wire and then the live test 3) In the manual range mode, if the scale of the measured wire during connection. Remove the live test wire value is unknown beforehand, the highest range should first during disconnection. be set and then lowered down gradually.
4.10 Diode Test Note: 4.10.1 Plug the black probe into the COM jack and the If the test probes are open or the resistance of the circuit red probe into the jack. under test is over 200Ω, “0L” will be displayed on the LCD. 4.10.2 Set the range selector to the range position.
4.13 Measurement Of DC Current 4.14 Measurement Of AC Current WARNING WARNING There is the risk of electric shock. There is the risk of electric shock. Turn off the power of the circuit under test, Turn off the power of the circuit under test, and then connect the meter to the circuit in and then connect the meter to the circuit in series for measurement.
4.15 Phone Line Mode Detection 4.15.1 Plug the attached detection line into the jack in front of the meter and turn the rotary selector to the Phone range. 4.15.2 Clamp the two wires of the phone line with the two clips of the connecting line or plug the modular plug into the phone socket.
4.17 Network Cable Integrity Test 4.16 Judgment And Tracking Of Cable Line 4.17.1 Regular T568A/T568B cables can be judged for 4.16.1 Plug the attached detection line into the jack in open circuit, short circuit, miswiring, split pair, front of the meter and turn the rotary selector to reverse connection and shield integrity, and any the Tone range.
4.18 Non-Contact Voltage Detection 4.18.1 Sockets and power cords can be detected for the presence of AC voltage. 4.18.2 Bring the upper part of the meter close to a conductor. When a voltage is detected, the meter will give a sound and provide visual indication. 4.17.6 Below is a detailed description of different abnormalities: Front detection area of the meter...
4.19 Operating Precautions Of Protective Cover WARNING There is the risk of electric shock. After the protective cover is lost, the voltage and current measurement function of the meter should be disabled for fear of electric shock. 4.19.1 There is a protective cover at the tail of the meter. To avoid the risk of electric shock, the cable interface must be protected by the protective cover when the cable detection function is not used.
5.2.1 Turn the range selector to OFF and remove the test 5.1.1 When the “ ” symbol is displayed, the batteries leads from the input terminals. should be replaced immediately. 5.2.2 Remove the protective cover and unfasten the 5.1.2 Turn the range selector to OFF and remove the test screws.
