• Read “Safety Information” before using this meter. • This multimeter is battery operated, with a digital display. • The Meter complies with IEC61010-1,2001 CATII 500V and CATIII 300V. Refer to “General Specifications” for more information.
SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) • In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. • A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the Meter or the equipment under test. International symbols used on the Meter and in this manual are explained in Table 1 on page 16.
Page 10
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, comply with the following practices: 1. Do not use the Meter in a manner not specified by this manual or the safety features of the Meter may be impaired.

Do not measure voltages above 500 V in Category II, or 300 V in Category III installations. Do not measure voltage when the function/range switch is set on the resistance (ohms) or the current (µA/mA) settings. Never measure current when the meter is set on the resistance range.

capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance. 14.For all DC functions, to avoid the risk of shock due to possible improper reading, verify the presence of any AC voltages by first using the AC function. Then select a DC voltage range equal to or greater than the AC range.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • Data Hold and Max Hold Press the “H” (Hold) button to hold present reading, and press the “M” (Max Hold) button to hold max reading. • DC Voltage Measurement Do not measure voltage higher than 500V. If the voltage is over 1000 VDC, the beeper will sound for warning continuously, designating an over-range...

3.Read the measured voltage on the display. If the test leads are — reversed, the “ ” indicator will appear on the display. red test lead black test lead red test lead black test lead...
• AC Voltage Measurement Do not measure voltage higher than 500V. It may make damage to internal circuit. If the voltage is over 750 VAC, the beeper will sound for warning continuously, designating an over-range measurement. 1.Set the function/range switch to the appropriate AC voltage range.

• Resistance Measurement (Ω) To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter when measuring resistance or continuity in a circuit, make sure the power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are discharged. 1.Turn the rotary switch to the appropriate resistance (ohms) range.
“OL” will be indicated on LCD display. red test lead black test lead • Diode Check 1.Turn the rotary switch to the diode/continuity position. Diode check is the default setting, switch functions by pushing the YELLOW button. 2.Connect the red probe to the anode side and the black probe to the cathode side of the diode being tested.
Page 22
4.If the polarity of the test leads is reversed with diode polarity, the display reading shows “OL”. This can be used to distinguish the anode and cathode sides of a diode. 5.For silicon diode, forward bias voltage should be 0.5∼0.8V, for germanium diode, forward bias voltage should be 0.2∼0.3V.
• Continuity Measurement 1.Turn the rotary switch to the diode/continuity position. Diode check is the default setting, switch functions by pushing the YELLOW button. 2.If the resistance is under 50 Ω, the beeper will sound continuously, designating a short circuit. If the meter reads “OL”, the circuit is open.

• DC /AC Current Measurement (µA/mA) 1.Turn the rotary switch to the current range, if the tested current range is unknown, set it to mA setting first. 2.Toggle between AC or DC current measurement by pressing the YELLOW button. 3.Break the circuit path to be measured.

MAINTENANCE If the Meter fails, check the batteries and fuses first, review this manual to make sure that you are operating the Meter correctly. Disconnect test leads before opening the case or the battery door. To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the...
