Please refer to your respective model for function availability. 1) 4 digits 9999 counts dual displays 2) Push-buttons for special functions & features 3) Selector to turn the Power On or Off and Select a function 4) Input Jack for 10A (20A for 30sec) current function...
  • Page 5 Average sensing RMS calibrated RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC value of an AC signal. Most digital multimeters use average sensing RMS calibrated technique to measure RMS values of AC signals. This technique is to obtain the average value by rectifying and filtering the AC signal.

  • Page 6: Operation Caution

    4) OPERATION CAUTION Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning. AutoCheck mode (525, 521, 829 only) This innovative AutoCheck feature automatically selects measurement function of DCV, ACV or Resistance (Ω) based on the input via the test leads.
  • Page 7 *As Hazardous-Alert: When making resistance measurements in AutoCheck mode, an unexpected display of voltage readings alerts you that the object under test is being energized. *Ghost-voltage Buster: Ghost-voltages are unwanted stray signals coupled from adjacent hard signals, which confuse common multimeter voltage measurements. Our AutoCheck mode provides low (ramp-up) input impedance (approx.

  • Page 11 Capacitance, Diode test functions Press the SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. CAUTION Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load.
  • Page 12 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.
