Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance. Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements. When the range of the value to be measured is unknown, set the rotary switch position as the highest range, or choose the auto ranging mode. To avoid damages to the multimeter, do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values shown in the technical specification tables.
PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL MULTIMETER FP - 2 1 QUICK START General Inspection Check the instrument according to the following steps: 1. Check whether there is any damage caused by transportation If it is found that the packaging carton or the foamed plastic protection cushion has suffered serious damage, do not throw it away first till the complete device and its accessories succeed in the electrical and mechanical property tests.
If it is found that there is any accessory lost or damaged, please get in touch with the distributor of PROMAX responsible for this service or the PROMAX local offices. 3. Check the Complete Instrument If it is found that there is damage to the appearance of the instrument, or the...
Adjusting the Tilt Stand Pull the tilt stand outward to its maximum reach (about 85° to the meter body). Power On To power ON the multimeter, turn the rotary switch to any other position except OFF. To power OFF the multimeter, turn the rotary switch to the OFF position. Sleep Mode The multimeter automatically enters the sleep mode if the rotary switch is not moved or a key is not pressed for 30 minutes.

2 MEASUREMENTS Measuring AC or DC Voltage Description ► This multimeter displays DC voltage values as well as their polarity. Negative DC voltages will display a negative sign on the left of the display. WARNING: Do not measure any voltage of over 1000 VDC or 750 VAC RMS to avoid instrument damage or electric shock.
Probe the test points and read the display. Press to enable and cycle through the manual ranges. CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to your multimeter or to the equipment under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high- voltage capacitors before measuring resistance. Testing for Continuity Operation ►...
Measuring Capacitance Operation ► Rotate the rotary switch to Connect the black test lead to the terminal and the red test lead to the terminal. Probe the test points and read the display. CAUTION: To avoid possible damage to the multimeter or to the equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring capacitance.
Connect the red connection of the K-type thermocouple to the terminal and the black connection to the terminal. Probe the test points and read the display. Non-Contact Voltage Detect (NCV) Description ► To detect the presence of AC voltage, place the top of the meter close to a voltage source.
If voltage is detected, the LED above the display will flash, and the meter will beep. WARNING: Always test the NCV function on a known live circuit before use. Do not attempt to use the meter as an AC Voltage Detector if the battery is weak or bad.

Select DC or AC measurement mode. Default is DC measurement mode, will be displayed. Press to switch into AC measurement mode, will be displayed. Turn on the power of the measured circuit, and read the display. Press to enable and cycle through the manual ranges. If "OL" is displayed, it indicates the input exceeds the selected range and the rotary switch should be set to the position with higher range.
3 TOOLS Data Hold Mode Operation ► Press to freeze the display during measurement. will be shown on the display. Press again to exit this mode. Relative Measurements Description ► When making relative measurements, reading is the difference between a stored reference value and the input signal.
Buzzer Feature Press the function key, the buzzer emits a short beep. One minute before Auto Power-off, the buzzer will beep five times to warn. Before shutoff, the buzzer will emit a long beep, and then the multimeter will shut off. The buzzer beeps continuously to warn once the measured DC voltage exceeds 1000 V, or the measured AC voltage exceeds 750 V.
