Measuring functions AC/DC voltage measurements WARNING: Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages. Set the rotatory function switch to the V position. To select AC or DC voltage, press the MODE-button until the AC “~” or DC “ ”symbol appears on the LCD.
AC current measurements WARNINGS: Observe all safety precautions when working on live circuits. Do not measure current on circuits that exceed 600 V. Measurements in the 10 A range should be limited to 30 seconds maximum every 15 minutes. Set the rotary function switch to the 10 A~ position. Insert the black test lead into the COM input-jack and the red test lead into the 10 A input jack.
Frequency and % duty cycle measurements WARNING: Observe all safety precautions when working on live circuits. Set the rotary function switch to the Hz % position. To select Frequency or % Duty Cycle, press the MODE button until the “Hz” or “%” symbol appears on the LCD. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red test lead into the V input jack.
Diode test WARNING: Never test diodes in a live circuit. Set the rotary function switch to the Ω position. Press the MODE button until the symbol appears on the LCD display. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red test lead into the ? input jack.
Capacitance measurements WARNING: Safely discharge capacitors before taking capacitance measurements. Set the rotary function switch to the Ω position. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red test lead into the Ω input jack. Press the MODE button until the “nF” symbol appears on the LCD.
Operation Auto Power Off The meter automatically turns off after 15 minutes of activity. To reset the meter after it shuts off, turn rotary function switch to the off position and then set the switch to the desired function. To disable Auto Power Off, turn the rotary function switch to the off position.
Battery and fuse replacement Battery replacement WARNING: To avoid electric shock, remove the test leads from the meter before removing the battery/fuse cover. Lift up the tilt stand. Loosen the two Phillips screws on the battery/fuse cover. Remove the battery/fuse cover. Replace the batteries with three AAA batteries.
