7. Operation NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. 7.1. AC Current Measurements WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making current clamp measurements.
7.2. AC Voltage Measurement 1.lnsert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V CAP·TEMP·Hz% Ω terminal. 2. Set the function switch to the V~ position. 3. Press the MODE/FD key for 1 second to turn on the VFD test. 4.
7.6. Frequency Measurements 1. lnsert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the V CAP TEMP Hz% Ω positive jack. 2. Set the function switch to the V~HZ/% Position. 3.
7.9. Continuity Measurements 1. lnsert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the V CAP TEMP Hz% Ω positive terminal. 2. Set the function switch to the Ω position. 3. Use the MODE button to select continuity " ". The display icons will change when the MODE button is pressed.
7.13. RANGE Press the RANGE key to activate the manual mode and to disable the Autorange function. The symbol "AUTO" disappears from the upper left part of the display. In manual mode, press the RANGE key to change measuring range: the relevant decimal point will change its position. The RANGE key is not active in positions , CAP, Hz%,Temp °C °F.
8. Maintenance WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads from the input terminals, and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate the meter with an open case. 9. Cleaning and Storage 1.
