    CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient overvoltages than CAT. IV Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual, otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be impaired. In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user, or may damage the Meter or the equipment under test.

    MEASUREMENT OPERATION A. DC AND AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT (see figure 3) (figure 3) Warning! To avoid harms to you or damages to the Meter from electric shock, never attempt to measure voltages higher than 1000 or 1000V rms although readings may be obtained. The DC Voltage ranges are: 200mV 2V, 20V, 200V and 1000V.
  • Page 8 B. DC AND AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT (see figure 4) (figure 4) Warning! Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open circuit voltage between terminals and ground is greater than 60V DC or 30V rms in AC. If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the operator himself may be hurt.
  • Page 9 Note • l If the value of current to be measured is unknown, use the maximum measurement position, and reduce the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is obtained. • l For safety sake, the measuring time for high current should be less than 10 seconds and the interval time between 2 measurements should be greater than 15 minutes.
  • Page 10 D. MEASURING DIODES AND CONTINUITY (see figure 6) (figure 6) Warning! To avoid damage to the Meter or to the equipement under test, disconnect circuit porwer and discharge all high-voltage capacitors befire measuring diodes. To avoid harms to you, never attempt to input voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V rms in AC.
  • Page 11 Testing for Continuity To test for continuity, connect the Meter as below: 1. Insert the red test lead intoV terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. 2. Set the rotary switch to 3. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured. ≤70Ω.
  • Page 12 F. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT (see figure 8) (figure 8) Warning! To avoid harm to you or damages to the Meter, never attempt to measure voltages higher than 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC although readings may be obtained. During testing, the operating temperature must be within 18-23o C, otherwise the obtained reading may not be correct especially measuring low temperature.
  • Page 13 G. CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT (see figure 9) (figure 9) Warning! To avoid damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring capacitance.Use the DC voltage function to confirm that the capacitor is discharged. To avoid harms to you, never attempt to input voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V rms µ...
