PULSE WIDTH Range Resolution Accuracy tolerance: ± (% reading + digits) 250mS 0.001mS~0.01mS ± (1.2% + 30) • Overload protection: 1000V. • When the rise time is less than 1µs, the signals centre on the trigger level. • The pulse width is greater than 2µs for 10Hz to 200kHz. The pulse width depends on signal frequency.
Symbol Battery capacity • When the battery capacity is lower Full capacity than 3% of full capacity the meter will Half capacity automatically shutdown. Empty Backlight Control • If the display is not visible in low-light situations, press to switch the backlight brightness.

• Use the left and right directional buttons to select the required edit position, then press the up and down directional buttons to enter different numbers. • Press the function button OK to confirm. • To cancel the settings, press the function button CANCEL. Auto Power Save •...
AC VOLTAGE • Insert the red test lead into the V terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. • Set the rotary switch to Ṽ or mṼ as shown in the image below. • Read the measured voltage values on the display. True virtual values are displayed for AC measurement.
Warnings • Do not input a voltage higher than 1000V. Higher voltage may be measured but it risks damaging the meter. • When measuring high voltage, extra care should be taken to avoid an electric shock. • After completing all the measuring operations, disconnect the connection between the test leads and the circuit under test.
maximum range of the meter, “OL” will show on the display. • When measuring in-circuit resistance, all of the power within the measured circuit must be shut off before measurement and all of the capacitors must be discharged to ensure a correct measurement.
CAPACITANCE • Insert the red test lead into the terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. • Set the rotary switch to the measurement press the SELECT button to select capacitance measurement. • Connect the test leads to both ends of the measured capacitance (see right).
DIODE • Insert the red test lead into the terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. The polarity of the red test lead is positive, and negative for the black test lead. • Set the rotary switch to the measurement where the diode measuring mode is default.
TEMPERATURE • Set the rotary switch to the measurement function “mV °C °F” then press the SELECT button to choose between celsius (°C) or fahrenheit (°F). • Insert the temperature connector into four terminals and connect two temperature probes to the temperature connector. •...

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE General Maintenance • Clean the meter casing with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. • Do not use any chemicals, abrasives or solvents that could damage the meter. • Dirt or moisture on the terminals can affect readings. Clean the terminals according to the following steps: - Turn off the meter and remove all test leads.
CHARGING THE BATTERY • When the battery indicator, in the top right hand corner of the display is less than 5% of full capacity, the meter should be immediately charged, otherwise it will affect the measurement accuracy. • Set the rotary switch to “CHG” and the display will read “please plug in AC adapter!”...
