Page 8: Max/Min Button
PUSH-BUTTON FUNCTIONS MODE BUTTON Selects AC or DC measurement when in Volts, Amps, mA or uA functions. Also used to select between Ω, or •))) when in the Ohm, Diode and Continuity function. HOLD Press the HOLD button and the reading will freeze on the display. Press the button again and the frozen reading displayed will return to normal measurement status. -
Page 9: Backlight Button
If the MAX MIN message is flashing, the instrument is in MAX/MIN mode but not recording. Press the MAX/MIN button to select a mode. To return to normal AUTO measurement mode, hold down the MAX/MIN button for 2 seconds. PEAK BUTTON The Peak Hold function captures the peak AC or DC voltage or current. -
Page 10: Dc Voltage(V)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. 1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. 2. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected. -
Page 11: Ac Voltage (V)
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter. 1. Set the function switch to the V position. 2. -
Page 12: Resistance (Ω)
CAUTION: Do not make 10A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 2. For current measurements up to 4000µA AC/DC, set the function switch to the µA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the µA/mA jack and press mode... - Page 13 WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the function switch to the Ω position. 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

circuit is open, the display will indicate “OL”. DIODE TEST 1. Set the function switch to the Ω position. 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack. 3. -
Page 15: Frequency (Hz)
1. Set the function switch to the ºC or ºF position. 2. Insert the Temperature Probe into the positive ºF & negative Com input jacks, making sure to observe the correct polarity. 3. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the surface you wish to measure. Keep the probe touching the surface under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds). -
Page 16: Battery Installation
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the back cover or the battery or fuse covers. WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery and fuse covers are in place and fastened securely. This Multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care instructions are performed: 1. -
Page 17: Replacing The Fuses
NOTE: If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and batteries to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted. F1 F2 REPLACING THE FUSES WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the rear cover (fuse door). - Page 18 DC VOLTAGE (AUTO-RANGING) Range Resolution Accuracy 400.0mV 0.1mV +1.2% of rdg + 2 digits 4.000V 40.00V 10mV 400.0V 100mV 1000V +1.5% of rdg + 2 digits Input Impedance: 10MΩ.
