NCV Non‐contact voltage OFF shutdown Buttons: RANGE: Switch the range mode to auto/manual and then cycle through all ranges. To exit auto/manual mode, press the button for 2 seconds or switch the functional dial. (Only for V ,Ω,I measurement) MAX/MIN:Starts and stops Max/Min recording. To exit this mode, press the button for 2 seconds or switch the functional dial. (Only for V ,Ω,I and ˚C /˚F measurement) REL:Save the first reading as reference value. The second reading=second measurement value‐reference value. To exit his mode, press the button for 2 seconds. (Only for V ,Ω,I and ˚C /˚F and measurement); when measuring capacitance, REL button is only used for eliminating intrinsic value. Hz/%:When measuring AC voltage/ current, press the button to cycle through frequency and duty ratio measurement. SELECT:Select functions. Under AC modes, long press the button until UFC appears to enter VFC measurement mode and measure the variable frequency voltage. Long press gain to exit VFC measurement mode. HOLD:Press the button once to hold the reading. Press again to unlock the reading and enter general measurement modes. Operation instructions To avoid false reading, replace the battery if the battery low power symbol appears. Also pay special attention to the warning sign ...

measurement, short the test leads and use REL function. • If the resistance when shorted is more than 0.5Ω, please check if test leads are loosened or damaged. • When measuring high resistance above 60MΩ, it is normal to take a few seconds to steady the readings. • Resistance measurement can be used to inspect device’s internal fuses.( see figure 4b) • Do not input voltage over DC 60V or AC30V. 3. Continuity measurement (see figure 5) If the resistance being measured is over 150Ω, circuit is in open status, buzzer does not go off. If the resistance less than 10Ω, circuit is in good conduction status, buzzer will continuously go off. Note: • To avoid damage to the device, before measuring continuity, switch off all power supplies and fully discharge all capacitors. • Do not input voltage over DC 60V or AC30V. 4. Diode measurement (see figure 6) “OL” symbol appears when the diode is open or polarity is reversed. For silicon PN junction, normal value: 500 ~ 800mV (0.5 ~ 0.8V). Notes: • Switch off the power supply to the circuit, and fully discharge all capacitors • Voltage for testing diode is about 3.1 V. •...

capacitance) Notes: • If the tested capacitor is shorted or its capacity is over the specified range “OL” symbol will be displayed on the screen. • When measuring large capacitors, it may take a few seconds to obtain steady readings. • Before measuring capacitors (especially for high voltage capacitors), please fully discharge them. 6. Frequency/Duty ratio measurement (see figure 8) At the frequency position, press the Hz/% to select frequency/duty ratio measurement mode. Notes: • Do not input voltage over DC 60V or AC30V. 7. Temperature measurement (see figure 9) Turn on the device, after “OL” symbol appears, insert K‐thermocouple into the device. Note: Only K‐type thermocouple is applicable. The measured temperature should be less than 230˚C/ 446˚F (˚F=˚C*1.8+32) 8. AC/DC current measurement (see figure 10) Connect test leads with the tested circuit in series. Readings under this AC measurement is true RMS. Notes: • Before measuring, switch off the power supply of the circuit. ...

2) Place the device near the measured object. “‐“ symbol indicates the intensity of the electric field. More “‐“ and the higher the buzzer frequency, the higher the electric field intensity. 3) Intensity of electric field * "EF": 0 ~ 50mV * "‐": 50 ~ 100mV * "‐‐": 100 ~ 150mV * "‐‐‐": 150 ~ 200mV * "‐‐‐‐":> 200mV . Notes: Test leads are not required for NCV measurement. 10. Others • The device enters measurement status in 2 seconds after startup. Restart the device,”ErrE” appears. • The device automatically shuts down if there is no operation for 15 minutes. You can wake up the device by pressing any key. To disable auto shutdown, switch the dial to OFF position, long press SELETE button and turn on the device. symbol will disappear with one long beep. Recover the auto‐off function by restarting the device. • Buzzer notification 1) Input voltage ≥ 600V (AC /DC), buzzer will continuously beep indicating measure range is at limit 2) Input current > 10A (AC/DC), buzzer will continuously beep indicating measure range is at limit •...
