Operating Manual
Bench Type Digital Multimeter
Overview
Digital Bench-Type Multimeter Model 72-1055 is
a manual ranging, DC / AC current digital multimeter.
This model features a 2000 count, 3-1/2 digit, extra-
large, backlit LCD display.
This easy-to-use instrument provides the user full
measurement and full overload protection, packaged
in a sleek and simple casing that will fit on any bench.
Measurements include DC/AC voltage, DC/AC
current, resistance, frequency, capacitance, temper-
ature, transistor hFE, diode, and continuity
buzzer.
This operating manual covers information on
safety and precautions. Please read all of the
information carefully and observe all the warnings
strictly while using this product.

Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards
IEC61010-1 for pollution degree 2, overvoltage
category (CAT II 1000V) and double insulation. Please
follow these operating instructions while using the
meter to reduce the chance of damage or possible
injury.
1. Inspect both the Meter and the Test Leads before
use. Do not use the Meter and Test Leads
if either is damaged, if the protective hou sing is
removed or the display is blank while in use . Do not
use the meter with the housing removed; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; . Damage
to the case or insulation could cause electric shock
or cause further damage to the meter and any attached
equipment being tested.
2. If test leads are damaged, use only the same
model number or identical electrical specification
replacement parts.
3. Do not touch any cable, connector, terminal or
other circuit being tested with your bare skin or hands.
4. When the meter is being used with voltages over
60V DC or 30V rms AC RMS, additional care should
be taken for added danger of electric shock.
5. Select the correct terminal input and turn the
rotary switch to select the measuring function. If you
are not sure of the current range, simply start with a high
value and adjust down until you get a a reading.
6. Do not overload voltage or current between the
terminals or between the terminals and a ground; ; ; ; ; ; ,
which the meter will indicate the overload.
7. Once the rotary switch is placed in the correct
range position, do not change the range during the
measurement function.
8. Do not use or store the meter in a high temper-
ature, high humidity, flammable, or highly
electromagnetic environment. The performance of
the meter may deteriorate after this type of use.
9. Do not alter the internal circuit of the meter
for any reason. Doing so will cause damage to the
meter, and possibly cause injury or death.
10. Replace the battery as soon as the battery
indicator "
meter might produce false readings that can lead to
electric shock and even personal injury.
11. Turn the meter off when it is not is use. Take out
th e batter ies when not used for extended period of time.
