If the MasterCraft 052-0055-6 meter shows a voltage reading of -1 despite correct wire positioning and a charged battery, it likely indicates a polarity reversal. This means the red and black test leads are connected to the opposite terminals—red to negative and black to positive—causing the meter to display a negative value.

If the buzzer continuously sounds while checking a fuse on a MasterCraft 052-0055-6, it indicates continuity, meaning the fuse is good and not blown.

    MEASURING DC OR AC VOLTAGE Connect the black test lead to the "COM" terminal and the red test lead to the "ΩVmA°F" terminal. Set the range switch to desired V range position. If the magnitude of the voltage to be measured is not known beforehand, set the range switch to the highest range first and then reduce it range by range until satisfactory resolution is obtained.

    Note: Before test, disconnect all power to the circuit to be tested and discharge all capacitors thoroughly. DIODE TEST Connect the black test lead to the "COM" terminal and the red test lead to the "ΩVmA°F" terminal. (Note: The polarity of the red lead is positive " + ") Set the range switch to position.

    052-0055-6 | contact us 1-800-689-9928 MEASURING TEMPERATURE Note To avoid possible damage to the meter or other equipment, remember that while the meter is rated for 32 to 1832ºF (0 to 1000ºC), the K type thermocouple provided with the meter is rated to 482°F (250°C).
  • Page 19: Non-Contact Ac Voltage Detection

    NON-CONTACT AC VOLTAGE DETECTION Press and hold down the AC Voltage Detection Button and move the top of the meter close to the object to be tested. When the meter detects AC voltage, the built-in buzzer will sound discontinuously and the AC Voltage Detection Indicator will flash.
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    052-0055-6 | contact us 1-800-689-9928 Note: To avoid electric shock, do not touch any naked conductor with hand or skin. Because of the meter's detection limit, a line (or conductor) under test may be live even if the buzzer does not sound and the AC Voltage Detection Indicator does not light.
  • Page 21: General Maintenance

    GENERAL MAINTENANCE Periodically wipe the case with damp cloth and a little mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings. Clean the terminals as follows: Set the range switch to OFF position and remove all test leads from the meter.
