Page 6: Safety
SAFETY This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed to operate the instrument safely and maintain 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. The meter meets the requirements for double insulation to EN61010-1:2001;... -
Page 7: International Electrical Symbols
To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user. Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the instrument. -
Page 8: Product Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This user’s manual uses only representative model(s) for illustrations. Please refer specification details for function availability to each model. 1) Non-Contact Voltage Detector, AutoTect Feature: antenna position 2) Jaw marking lines for ACA position error indication 3) Hand/Finger Barrier to indicate the limits of safe access to the jaws during current measurements 4) Push-buttons for special functions... -
Page 9: Operation
OPERATION 23. 8 0 ACA Current clamp-on function Set the slide-switch function selector to the � position. Inputs are made through the clamp jaws for non-invasive ACA current measurements. CAUTION • Press the jaw trigger and clamp the jaws around the hot conductor of a circuit for load current measurement. -
Page 10: Hi-Z Dcv, Acv & Line-Level Hz Functions
Hi-Z DCV, ACV & Line-Level Hz functions Set the slide-switch function selector to the position that selects common impedance (Hi-Z) voltage measurements. Input impedance is set at approximately 5MΩ to minimize loading on circuits under tests. DCV is the default function. The DC symbol “�” appears. Press SELECT button momentarily to select ACV. -
Page 11: Autotect Tm Mode
AutoTect mode Set the slide-switch function selector to the position. This innovative AutoTect feature automatically selects measurement function of DCV, ACV or Resistance (Ω) based on the input via the test leads. • With no input, the meter displays “Auto” when it is ready. •... - Page 12 Note: • Range-Lock Feature: When a measurement reading is being displayed in AutoTect mode, press the RANGE button momentarily 1 time this locks the function-range it is in. The symbol “ Auto”disappears. Range-lock can speed up repetitive measurements. Press the button momentarily repeatedly to step through the ranges.

Page 13: Electric Field Ef-Detection
AC Voltage Detection - VolTect At any function, press the EF (NCV) button momentarily to toggle to AC Voltage Detection, VolTectTM. The meter displays “ ” when it is ready. Signal strength is indicated as a series of bar-graph segments on the display plus variable beep tones. -
Page 14: 600Ω
600Ω/ •��/ functions Set the slide-switch function selector to the 600Ω/ •��/ position. • 600Ω Resistance range with Audible-Continuity is the default function. It is an extended low resistance range to complement the Resistance (Ω) function in AutoCheck mode. Audible-Continuity response time is also improved drastically (from that of AutoCheck mode) under such stand-alone range architecture. -
Page 15: Maintenance
• Press SELECT button momentarily AGAIN selects Capacitance function. Capacitance measurement time varies with capacitance value. Only a few seconds is required for measuring values of below 100μF. However, one minute or more is required for measuring extreme values of around 2000μF. HOLD �... - Page 16 Cleaning and Storage Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the batteries and store them separately Battery replacement The meter uses standard 1.5V AAA Size (NEDA 24A or IEC LR03) battery X 2 Loosen the 2 captive screws from the battery cover case.
