“safety information” and “warning and procedures: related notes” carefully before using the meter. The MS8239A is a small hand-held, safe and reliable • Check the case before using the meter. Don't use the 3.5” digital multimeter with stable performance and meter with damaged case.
• When connecting circuits, connect the common test Electric Symbols line first, then connect the charged test line. When Important safety information disconnecting circuits, disconnect the charged test line first, then disconnect the common test line. Before measuring resistance, continuity, and diodes, AC (Alternating Current) first turn off power and discharge all high voltage capacitors.
(4) Positive input jack of 10A (connected with the red test probe). (5) All the common input jacks for measuring MS8239A (connected with the black test probe). (6) Positive input jack of voltage, resistance, mA current, diode, continuity and battery test (connected with the red test probe).
Measuring Operation DC Current Measurement: Data Hold Turn off the power to the circuit to be tested. Discharge all the high voltage capacitors on the The data hold function can keep the current readings circuit to be tested. on the display. To enter and exit reading maintenance Rotate the function selection switch to the mode: appropriate DC current position.
Note • When there is no input (for example, open circuit), Before measuring current, first check the meter's the display will show “1”, which means that the fuse. When measuring, use correct input end and measured value is out of range. function.
• Environmental temperature and humidity: 0~40°C, Connect the black and red test probe to cathode <80% RH (do not use meter when temperature <10°C). and anode of the diode to be tested, respectively. • Storage temperature and humidity: -10~60°C and The meter will display the diode's forward bias <70% RH (remove the battery).
Direct Current General Maintenance Warning Measuring range Accuracy Resolution To avoid injury or damage to the meter, don't wet 20mA 0.01mA ±(1.0% of reading +5 digits) the inner parts of the meter. Before opening the 200mA 0.1mA case or battery cover, remove the connecting cable between the test probe and the input signal.
Please follow these steps to replace battery: Turn off the power to the meter. Remove all test probes from the input jacks. Loosen screws on the battery cover with screwdriver. Remove the battery cover. Remove old batteries. Replace with two new AAA batteries, placing the positive and negative ends in their correct positions.
