  • Page 5: Operation Caution

    4) OPERATION CAUTION Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. & VFD ACV functions Press the SELECT button momentarily to toggle the subject functions. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience.
  • Page 6  Resistance, BeepLit Continuity, nS Conductance functions Press the SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. BeepLit Continuity function is having improved convenience for checking wiring connections and operation of switches.
  • Page 7 Auto leads resistance calibration When entering the 200 range manually by RANGE button for high precision low resistance measurement, this feature will prompt you to short the inputs for temporary test lead resistance calibration on this range. The fastest way is to short the leads to auto-range to the 200...
  • Page 8 CAUTION Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load. Normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to 0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A zero reading indicates a shorted diode (defective).
  • Page 9 DCmV, ACmV functions Press the SELECT button momentarily to toggle the subject functions. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience.
  • Page 10 Temperature functions (Model 839 only) Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle C and F readings. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. Note: Be sure to insert the banana plug type-K temperature bead probe Bkp60 with correct polarities.
  • Page 11 A, mA, µA Current functions Press the SELECT button momentarily to toggle the DC or AC of the subject functions. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. Backlighted display Press the button for 1 second or more to toggle the LCD backlight. The backlight will also be turned off automatically after approximate 10 minutes to extend battery life.
