AUTO-RANGE TYPE MULTITESTER MODEL AU-31 This is a circuit tester developed for measurement of small capacity electric circuits based on our advanced design and engineering technology. Electric circuits that can be measured include small communication equipment, household appliances, lighting lines (voltage), various batteries and other general electric circuits.
[2] SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Before use, read the following safety precautions This instruction manual explains how to use your multitester AU-31, safely. Before use, please read this manual thoroughly. After reading it, keep it together with the product for reference to it when necessary.

[5] HOW TO READ SCALE PLATE Unlike other conventional testers, this tester is of auto range type and does not show a value in the current range corresponding to the position of the switch, but instead shows it on the range display.
Range display LED Range of DC, AC voltage (V) Range of resistance (Ω) Range of DC, AC voltage (mV) and current (mA) Fig. 4 Range Display and Example of Measurement (Example of measurement) ”position 1. Function switch: Set to“V 2. Range display: LED lit on 300 (Fig. 4) 3.
This switch is valid regardless of setting of the range hold switch and is useful for reading in a different range. Note, however, that this switch will not operate with the function switch at positions other ”and“Ω”. than“V∼”,“V [8] PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT For safe operation, be sure to check the position of the function switch, terminals to use and condition of connection of the test leads to the tester before starting...

After preparation described in [8] PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT has been completed, measure voltage as follows. 1. Connect the black plug of the test lead to the measurement terminal (-COM) and the red plug to ( ”. 2. Turn the function switch to“V 3.
[10] MEASURING OF AC VOLTAGE Measurement of 0 ∼ 1000V AC (auto range) Measurement of sine wave AC voltage below 1000V max. For safe measurement, never apply a voltage above 1000V AC. Never apply an excessive voltage (more than 100 times the maximum value of the applicable range) with the range held.
[11] MEASURING OF LOW FREQUENCY OUTPUT(dB) The dB value is scaled in the 3V AC range and only when the impedance is 600Ω, 0dB is equal to 1mW and the output value can be read directly. (0dB = 1mW = 0.775V at 600Ω) 1.

0Ω setter(Refer to Fig. 6 in [16] MAINTENANCE) This tester employs the constant voltage method for measurement of resistance and there is no need of 0Ω adjustment for normal measurement. To cancel resistance of the test leads in measurement in the x 1Ω range, turn the 0Ω...
[13] MEASURING OF DC CURRENT (fixed range) Measurement of 0 ∼ 300mA(0 ∼ ± ± To prevent damage to the tester and personal injury, do not measure current when the voltage exceeds 600V. ± After preparation described in [8] PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT has been completed, measure current as follows.
[14] MEASURING OF AC CURRENT (fixed range) Measurement of 0 ∼ 300mA(0 ∼ 3A) To prevent damage to the tester and personal injury, do not measure current when the voltage exceeds 600V. ± After preparation described in [8] PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT has been completed, measure current as follows.
[15] MAINTENANCE 15-1 Replacement of dry cells (Refer to Fig. 6): Replace dry cells if the pointer stays out of the range of “INTERNAL BATT GOOD”when the function switch is turned to “INTERNAL BATT CHECK”. 1. Remove the battery case lid. 2.
