- Page 2 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 actions 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. Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the test probe assembly, where applicable) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand held parts during measurements. Inspect lead wires, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the meter. If any defects are found, replace them immediately. Only use the probe assembly provided with the meter or a UL Listed Probe Assembly to the same meter ratings or better. IEC 61010031 requires exposed conductive test probe ti CAT IV ratings. Refer to the category markings on your probe assemblies as well as on the addon accessories (like detachable Caps or Alligator Clips), if any, for applicable rating changes. Observe proper safety precautions w hen working with voltages above 33 Vrms, 46.7 Vpeak or 70 VDC. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.

Defaults at function where best accuracy is specified at the jaw center area. Press button momentarily to toggle to function where best accuracy is specified near the jaw tip area for lowcurrent small conductors below 10mm in diameter. Do not use the meter to measure currents above the rated frequency (400Hz). Circulating currents may cause the magnetic circuits of the Jaws reach a hazardous temperature.
- Page 6 Note: functions are equipped with digital low pass filter, and are capable of dealing with (Variable FrequencyDrives) signals for fundamental readings. It also improves ACV and Hz reading stability being in most noisy electrical environments. The detected Electric Field strength is indicated as a series of bar graph segments on the display together with variable beep tones. Two user selectable sensitivities are available. In High Sensitivity range, the meter displays It ...
- Page 7 An antenna is located along the top right end of the stationary clamp jaw, which detects electric field surrounding energized conductors. It is ideal for tracing live wiring connections, locating wiring breakage s and to distinguish between liveand earth connections. For more precise indication of live wires, such as distinguishing between Live and Ground connections, use direct contact testing with one single test probe via an input terminal. T he COM terminal (Black) has the best sensitivity. Eshop: www.emareg.cz Email: shop@emareg.cz...

Continuity function is convenient for checking wiring connections and operation of switches. The meter provides Audible as well as Visible results. A continuous beep tone, together with two flashing LCD icons , indicates a complete wire. This further improves ease of useespecially in noisy working environments.

- Page 10 Inputs are madevia the test lead terminals . Defaults at . Press button momentarily to toggle between the subject functions. (For Model 173D, Capacitance and Diode functions arelocated in different rotary switch positions.) When using Diode test function , normal forward voltage drop (forward 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 connections (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).

- Page 12 Inputs are madevia the test lead terminals function is designed especially for HVAC/R flame sensor applications. The 0.1 A resolution is useful for identifying the minute current changes in flame detector applications. Flame signal current check should indicate steady flame signal of at least 2 A for a rectification type, or 1.5 A for an ultraviolet type (8 A for self checking systems). If a flame signal current with inadequate strength or fluctuation beyond 10%, check the following to avoid the risk of unwanted flame relay dropout: For gas or oil flames (Minipeeper): Low supply voltage Detector location Defective detector wiring Dirty viewing windows Faulty Minipeeper For oil flames (Photocell): Detector location & wiring Smoky flame or poorly adjusted air shutter Faulty Photocell Temperature over 165 F (74 C) at photocell For gas flames (Flame Rod): Ignition interference (A flame signal current difference with the ignition both on and off greater than 0.5 A indicates the presence of ignition interference) Insufficient ground (must be at least 4 times the detector area) Flame lifting off burner head (ground), or not continuously in contact with the flame Temperature in excess of 600 F (316 C) at the flame electrode insulator causing short to ground.
