This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the meter safely and maintaining the meter in a safe operating condition. If the meter is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the meter may be impaired. identifies conditions and actions that could result in serious injury or even death to the user. identifies conditions and acti ons that could cause damage or malfunction in the instrument. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. The meter is intended only for indoor use. Observe proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 33 Vrms, 46.7 Vpeak or 70 VDC. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user. Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, check the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. The meter meets UL/IEC/EN610101 Ed. 3.0, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010 1 Ed. 3.0, UL/IEC/EN610102033 Ed. 1.0 to Measurement CATIII 1kV and CAT IV 600V, AC & The accompanied test probe assembly meets UL/IEC/EN61010 031 Ed. 1.1 to the same meter ratings or better.

Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the volta ge function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. Press the button momentarily to toggle the subject functions. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat meas urement convenience. For function, press the button momentarily to select other ranges manually when needed. For function, default is set to 600V range to best cope with the measurements of most Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). Press the button momentarily to select1000V range when needed.

A continuous beep tone together with flashing display backlightindicate a complete wire. Such audible and visible indications improve continuity readabilities in noisy working environments. Conductance is the inverse of Resistance, that is S=1/ or nS=1/G . It virtually extends the Resistance measurements to the order of GigaOhms for leakage measurements. Using resistance, continuity or nS function in a live circuit will produce false results and may ...

When entering the range manually by button for high precision low resistance measurement, this feature will prompt you to short the inputs for temporary test lead resistance calibration on this range. The fastest way is to short the leads to auto range to the range, then press the button momentarily. The display sho Keep shorting the leads for further 3 seconds until the display shows zero . The lead resistance is then temporarily compensated. The compensation value stays until the next meter power reset, and can be as high as 5 . If you need a compensation value that is higher than that, Relative Zero mode is recommended.

Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load. Normal forward voltage drop (forwa rd biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to 0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A zero reading indicates a shorted diode (defective). An OL indicates an open diode (defective). Reverse the test leads connect ions (reverse biased) across the diode. The digital display shows OL if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is resistive or shorted (defective). Eshop: www.emareg.cz Email: shop@emareg.cz...

functions, especially voltage function, is selected. Press the button while turning the meter on to temporarily disable the Beeper feature. Turn the rotary switch OFF and then back on to resume. The AutoPoweroff (APO) mode turns the meter off automatically to extend battery life after approximately 20 minutes of no rotary switch or push button operations. To wake up the meter from APO, press the button momentarily or turn the rotary switch OFF and then back on. Always turn the rotary switch to the OFF positio n when the meter is not in use. Press the button while turning the meter on to temporarily disable the Auto PowerOff feature. Turn the rotary switch OFF and then back on to resume. To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads from the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate with open case. Install only the same type of fuse or equivalent Accuracy is specified for a period of one year after calibration. Periodic calibration at intervals of one year is recommended to maintain meter accuracy. Periodically wipe the meter and the test probe assembly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Allow to dry completely before operating. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the battery and store it separately If the instrument fails to operate, check battery, fuses, leads, etc., and replace as Refer to the LIMITED WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.
