OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when reading high voltages. DO NOT exceed maximum voltage for which the meter is designed. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 1. Set function switch to V position 2. Set range switch to desired position. If magnitude of voltage is unknown beforehand, set the switch to its highest range and then reduce until satisfactory reading is obtained.
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 1. Set function switch to V position. 2. Set range switch to desired position. Measurement reading can be obtained at 2V and 20V positions, but accuracy is not guaranteed. 3. Connect test leads across load or source under measurement.
DC CURRENT 1. Set function switch to A position 2. Open the circuit to be measured and connect the test leads in series with the load in which current is to be measured. 3. Read current value on display along with polarity of RED test lead.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT WARNING: If resistor to be measured is connected to a circuit, ensure all power to the circuit is OFF, and all capacitors are fully discharged before attaching test leads. 1. Set function switch to Ω position. 2. Connect test leads across resistor to be measured, and read resistance value on display.
DIODE TEST 1. Set function switch to position. 2. Connect the red lead to the anode of the diode to be tested, and the black lead to the cathode. Read the approx. forward voltage drop on the display in mV. If the leads are reversed, “OL”...
MAINTENANCE CAUTION: 1. Make sure test leads are dsconnected from the test drcuit, and range switch is set to OFF before opening the case. 2. Do not operate the instrument unless the back cover is in place and fastened. BATTERY REPLACEMENT 1.
