SAFETY INFORMATION This meter is CUL and UL approved. This meter is designed to be safe under the following conditions: indoor use, altitude up to 2000m, tem- perature 5°C to 40°C, maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C and rated pollution degree 2.
• When ʻBATʼ appears on the display, change both batteries to achieve more accurate readings. • Turn the meter off and disconnect any load before removing the batteries. • Do not operate the unit unless the case is completely closed. •...

1. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT WARNING : MAXIMUM INPUT IS 450V DC. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING WITH HIGH VOLTAGES. NEVER APPLY THE TEST LEAD TO THE MEASUR- ING CIRCUIT WHEN CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE FUNCTION SWITCH. NOTE: The meter is auto ranging and will automatically display the correct voltage within the overall range of the meter.
➔ If ʻACʼ does not show on the display, push the SELECT button until it appears. ➔ Apply the test leads to the circuit to be measured. ➔ Read the displayed voltage. ➔ If ʻOLʼ appears on the display, it indicates over-range. Immediately remove test leads from the measuring circuit to avoid any damage to the meter.
4. CONTINUITY TEST WARNING: NEVER CONNECT THE TEST LEADS TO ANY VOLTAGE WHEN / / / THE FUNCTION SWITCH IS SET TO . REMOVE ALL POWER FROM THE CIRCUIT BEING TESTED WHEN CHECKING RESISTANCE. DISCHARGE ANY CHARGED CAPACITORS. / / / ➔...
– If one reading is around 0.5 and the other reading is ʻOLʼ, the diode is good – If both readings are ʻOLʼ, the diode is open (defective) – If both readings are very small or 0 (zero), the diode is shorted (defective) 6.
➔ If ʻOLʼ appears on the display, the value of the capacitor is over the maximum range of the meter. 8. DUTY CYCLE MEASUREMENT WARNING: NEVER MEASURE FREQUENCY ON A CIRCUIT WITH MORE THAN 250V. ➔ Set the function switch to VOLT/Hz/%. ➔...
10. BATTERY REPLACEMENT WARNING: DISCONNECT BOTH TEST LEADS FROM ANY SOURCE OF VOLTAGE BEFORE REMOVING THE BACK COVER. DO NOT OPERATE THE METER UNTIL THE BACK COVER IS IN PLACE AND FASTENED SECURELY. ʻBATʼ will appear in the display when the battery drops below the operating voltage and requires replacing.
