1. Safety Information 1.2 Usage 1.2.1 Turn the rotary switch to the required function WARNING and range to be measured. 1.2.2 Never use the meter to measure voltages that TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL might exceed 600V DC/AC above earth ground. SHOCK, PRODUCT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL 1.2.3 Always be careful when working with voltages INJURY, PLEASE FOLLOW THE SAFETY...
1.2.13 Avoid direct sunlight, exposing batteries to 1.4 Maintenance humidity, any strong magnetic field, or high 1.4.1 To avoid electric shock or personal injury, repairs temperatures to ensure the extended life of or servicing not covered in this manual should be the meter.

3.2 Technical Specifications 3. Specifications 3.2.1 True RMS Characteristics The Meter should be calibrated annually between 3.2.1.1 For non-sinusoidal signal measurements, 18°C ~ 28°C and a relative humidity less than 75%. true RMS is a more accurate method of 3.1 General Specifications measurement over the averaging method.

3.2.5 DC Voltage Note: At small voltage ranges, unsteady readings will appear Range Accuracy Resolution before the test leads make contact with the circuit. 600mV 0.1mV This is normal since the Meter is highly sensitive. When the test leads are connected to the circuit, the 0.001V true reading will be shown.

3.2.7.3 Frequency Through “HZ” Mode: 3.2.10 Continuity Range Accuracy Range Accuracy Resolution Resolution 60Hz 0.01Hz The Meter will beep if 600Hz 0.1Hz 0.1Ω measurement is less than 50 6kHz ±(0.3% of reading + 5 digits) 60kHz 0.01kHz - Overload protection: 250V DC or AC (RMS) 600kHZ 0.1kHZ - Open circuit voltage: about 3V...
3.2.13 Temperature 4. Operations Guide Range Accuracy 4.1 Display Hold Resolution During measuring, press the “HOLD” button once to -10°C~500°C ±1.0% of reading + 0.8°C hold the reading, press again to release hold. (±1.0% of reading + 0.8°F) (-14°F to 932°F) 0.1°C/ 4.2 Manual Measurement 0.2°F...
4.4 Maximum/Minimum recording 4.7 INRUSH When in AC Current measurement mode, press the 1) Press “MAX/MIN” button once to display the “INRUSH” button to enter surge current measurement maximum measurement and press “MAX/MIN” button again to display the minimum, press mode.
4.10 Current Measurement Note: 1) When measuring low voltage source, the meter 1) For AC current move rotary switch to A~ position; When measuring low voltage sources, the reading for DC current move rotary switch to A position. will fluctuate on the display when the test leads are 2) Open the clamp head by pressing the trigger and not connected to the circuit.
Note: Note: 1) When the circuit is an open circuit, the Meter displays The Meter displays “OL” if the circuit is open or “OL” for overload. resistance is larger than 600Ω. 2) For measurements above 1MΩ, the meter will take a few seconds to stabilize the reading;...
4.18 Temperature 2) Push the “RANGE” button to adjust the NCV sensitivity from 0-4. '4' is the highest sensitivity 1) Turn rotary switch to “TEMP” position. where '0' will turn off the NCV functionality. 2) Insert K-type thermocouple into the multi-function 3) Push the “HOLD”...
1) If “ ”symbol appears, this indicated batteries should be replaced. 2) Unscrew the instrument's battery cover and remove it 3) Replace batteries 4) Replace the battery cover and tighten screws Note: Be sure to note the battery polarity when replacing. 5.2 Test Leads Replacement WARNING REPLACE THE TEST LEADS WITH IDENTICAL...
