  • Page 12: Getting Started

    Getting Started Using the Digital Multimeter With no signal present, set the rotary switch to the desired measurement function. Ensure proper insertion of the test leads so they correspond with the type of measurement you wish to perform, see the following instructions to understand the proper lead configuration for each measurement type.
  • Page 13: Dc And Ac Current Measurements

    DC and AC Current Measurements Turn the rotary switch to the corresponding symbol for the measurement you would like to perform. Current measurements can be made in low current or high current mode. In low current measurement mode, you can measure up to 400 mA.
  • Page 14 WARNING: Do not connect more than 400 mA DC current across the mA input terminal or the protection fuse will be tripped. Higher Current Measurements (Up to 20 A) Follow these steps to make measurements up to 20 A. 1. Connect the negative (-) side with the black test lead to the COM input.
  • Page 15: Make Resistance Measurements

    Make Resistance Measurements Turn the rotary switch to the corresponding symbol for the measurement you would like to perform. CAUTION: Always connect the test leads to the instrument inputs first before connecting the DUT to avoid potential shock hazard. Follow these steps to make a measurement. 1.
  • Page 16: Make Diode Measurements

    Make Diode Measurements Turn the rotary switch to the corresponding symbol for the measurement you would like to perform. Press the shift button to cycle to the diode function. CAUTION: Always connect the test leads to the instrument inputs first before connecting the DUT to avoid potential shock hazard.
  • Page 17: Make Capacitance Measurements

    Follow these steps for continuity testing: 1. Connect the black test lead to the COM input. 2. Connect the red test lead to the VΩHz%ns input. 3. Connect the two leads together to verify that the continuity function is working properly. The instrument should have a continuous beep sound.
  • Page 18: Make Temperature Measurements

    CAUTION: Always connect the test leads to the instrument inputs first before connecting the DUT to avoid potential shock hazard. Follow these steps to make a capacitance measurement. 1. Connect the black test lead to the COM input. This will connect to the negative side of your capacitor.
  • Page 19: Make Frequency Measurements

    Follow these steps to make a temperature measurement. 1. Plug the K-type thermocouple directly into the meter. 2. Apply the thermocouple bead tip to the sample you would like to measure the temperature of. 3. Take measured reading from the display. Make Frequency Measurements Turn the rotary switch to the corresponding symbol for the measurement you would like to perform.
