OPERATOR’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL DT830B DIGITAL MULTIMETER WARNING READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE INSTRUMENT Failure to understand and comply with the WARNINGS and operating instructions can result in serious or fatal injuries and/or property damage.
General This instrument is a compact pocket- sized 3 ½ digital multimeters for measuring DC and AC Voltage, DC Current, Resistance and Diode, transistor measurement. Low battery voltage indication is provided. It’s ideal instruments for use in fields, such as laboratory, workshop, DIYers and home applications.

damage of the instrument, do not measure voltages that might exceed 500V above earth ground. Before the use of instrument, inspect test leads, connectors and probes for cracks, breaks, or crazes in the insulation. DC & AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT Connect red test lead to “V mA” jack, Black lead to “COM”...
in with current is to measure. Read current value on Digital Display. Additionally, “10A” function is designed for intermittent use only. Maximum contact time of the test leads with the circuit is 15 seconds, with a minimum intermission time of seconds between tests. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT Red lead to “V mA”.
Determine whether the transistor is PNP of NPN type and locate the Emitter, Base and Collector leads. Insert the leads into the proper holes of the hFE Socket on the front panel. The meter will display the approximate hFE value at the condition of base current 10µA and V 2.8V.
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION FUNCTION AND RANGE SWITCH This switch is used to select the function and desired range as well as to turn on the instrument. To extend the life of this battery, the switch should be in the “OFF” position when the instrument is not in use.
