Rotary Function Switch Positions Turn the tester on by selecting any measurement setting. HOLD Max/Min Button Instant-pressing the HOLD button the first time will hold the values at that instant in the primary display. Pressing it a second time will return it to current reading. Pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds will allow reading the MAX value, and an additional instant-pressing will switch it to display the MIN measured value.

Zero/Light Button Instant-pressing the ZERO/LIGHT button will zero the pri- mary display (mainly used for 400 Ω, the low resistance testing). Instant-pressing the button a second time will return the display to current reading. Pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds will cause the LCD backlight to turn on.
• Max, Min stands for the maximum or the minimum. • ZERO stands for digital zero adjusting. • HOLD button is pressed for the primary display. • AC, DC is the indicator for the voltage property. • V, MΩ, Ω are the measured dimension units. Setup and Operation Insulation Resistance Measurements 1.

4. The test is completed by letting go of the TEST button or pushing down the TEST button if in the LOCK mode. This will shut off the high-voltage. The test resistance value will be shown in the primary display and held. The secondary display will show the insulation voltage remaining in the circuit.

AC/DC Voltage Measurements 1. Set the range switch to ACV or DCV position. 2. Connect red test lead to VΩ terminal and black test lead to terminal COM. 3. Connect test leads IN PARALLEL to the circuit being measured. 4. Read the voltage value on LCD. Battery Saver (Sleep Mode) The meter will automatically enter the sleep mode if there is no function change or button press for 10 minutes, but...

Motors AC - Disconnect the motor from the line by disconnecting the wires at the motor terminals or by opening the main switch. If the main switch is used and the motor also has a starter then the starter must be held, by some means, in the ON position.
Maintenance and Repair Repairs or servicing not covered in this manual should only be performed by qualified personnel. Periodically wipe the case with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents on this instrument. Battery Replacement 1. When the battery power is not sufficient for proper operation, the LCD will display indicating that batteries need to be replaced.
