  • Page 3: Terms In This Manual

    1) SAFETY This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the instrument safely and maintaining the instrument in a safe operating condition. If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.

  • Page 4: International Electrical Symbols

    WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms.

  • Page 7: Operation

    4) OPERATION WARNING: Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. ACV, DCV, DC+ACV (Models 089 & 088 only), EF (NCV), & Line-level Hz functions Inputs, other than that of EF as described below, are made through the test lead terminals COM/+.
  • Page 8 Electric Field EF-Detection The meter displays “EF” when it is ready. Signal strength is indicated as a series of bar-graph segments on the display together with variable beep tones. ●Non-Contact EF-Detection: An antenna is located along the top- right end of the stationary clamp jaw, which detects electric field surrounds energized conductors.
  • Page 10 CAUTION & WARNING for Non-Invasive (Clamp-on) Current Measurements: CAUTION (Application and Removal of the Clamp-on Jaws) For non-invasive current measurements, press the jaw trigger and clamp the jaws around conductor(s) of only one single pole of a circuit for load current measurement.
  • Page 11 Non-Invasive AmpTip Low-Current Functions: ACA, DCA (Models 089 & 088 only), DC+ACA (Models 089 & 088 only), & Hz Input is made via the clamp jaws with best accuracy specified near the jaw tip area for small conductors low-current measurements. Press SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence.
  • Page 12 Non-Invasive Regular Current Funtions: ACA, DCA (Models 089 & 088 only), DC+ACA (Models 089 & 088 only) & Hz Input is made via the clamp jaws with best accuracy specified at the jaw center for regular current measurements. Press SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence.
  • Page 13  Resistance, Continuity & Diode functions Inputs are made through the test lead terminals COM/+. Press SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. Note When using Diode test function, normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to 0.900V.
  • Page 14 Using Resistance, Continuity or Diode function in a live circuit will produce false results and may damage the meter. In many cases the suspected component(s) must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate measurement reading.
  • Page 15 Capacitance, Temperature C & F (Models 089 & 086 only) functions Inputs are made through the test lead terminals COM/+. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. Press SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence.
  • Page 16 component(s) must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate measurement reading. 2. When using Capacitance function, discharge capacitor(s) before making any measurements. Large value capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load DCA Current function (Models 089 & 086 only) Inputs are made through the test lead terminals COM/+.
  • Page 17  Temperature in excess of 600 F (316 C) at the flame electrode insulator causing short to ground.
  • Page 18 & 3-Phase Rotation function (Models 089 & 086 only) Inputs are made through the test lead terminals L1/L2/L3. Phase Rotation directions are indicated as symbolic movements by the LCD segments. Press SELECT button momentarily toggles between modes. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience.
  • Page 20 Using the Hi-sensitivity mode for Motors: Connect to the Motor as illustrated. Be sure the electricity supply is removed. From the perspective of looking down the shaft of the motor, speed-spin it clockwise to generate sufficient signal strength for proper meter detection. If the meter indicates a clockwise movement, the motor leads connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the meter are L1, L2 and L3 (also known as R, S and T), respectively.
  • Page 21 Press the button for 1 second or more to exit this mode. Auto- Power-Off is disabled automatically in this mode. Relative-Zero ( ) mode Relative-Zero allows the user to offset the meter consecutive measurements with the main display displaying reading as the reference value.

  • Page 22: Maintenance

    Intelligent Auto-Power-Off (APO) The Auto-Power-off (APO) mode turns the meter off automatically to extend battery life after approximately 32 minutes of no specified activities, where applicable: 1) Rotary switch or push button operations 2) Significant measuring readings of above 8.5% of ranges 3) Non-OL readings for Resistance, Continuity or Diode function 4) Non-zero readings for Hz function 5) Significant movement indication as in Phase Rotation functions...

  • Page 23: Battery Replacement

    Periodic calibration at intervals of one year is recommended to maintain meter accuracy. Refer to the LIMITED WARRANTY section for obtaining calibration, repairing or warranty service. Cleaning and Storage Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents.
