If you find damage, notify the carrier at once. Shipping damage is NOT covered by warranty. The carrier is responsible for all repair or replacement costs resulting from damage in shipment.
  • Page 2: Safety Warnings

    2.0 READ FIRST: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Read this operators manual thoroughly before using this multimeter. This manual is intended to provide basic information regarding this meter and to describe common test procedures which can be made with this unit. Many types of appliance, machinery and other electrical circuit measurements are not addressed in this manual and should be handled by experienced service technicians.
  • Page 3: Specifications

    Measurement categories (Over-voltage categories) To ensure safe operation of measuring instruments, IEC61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, specified as CAT I through CAT IV, and called measurement categories. Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy, so a measuring instrument designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy than one designed for CAT II.
  • Page 4: Hold Button

    4.0 FUNCTIONS 4.1 MAX/MIN BUTTON 1. Press MAX/MIN once to enter MAX mode. The symbol “MAX” will appear on the display and the display will show the maximum reading that the meter measures while in this mode. 2. Press MAX/MIN again to enter MIN mode. The symbol “MIN” will appear on the display and the display will show the minimum reading that the meter measures while in this mode.
  • Page 5: Battery Replacement

    400A 5.4 DC AMPS If the fuse burns out during measurement, the meter may be damaged or personal injury may occur. To avoid possible damage to the 400A meter or to the equipment under test, check the meter’s fuses before measuring current. Use the proper terminals, function, and range for the measurement.
  • Page 6: Fuse Replacement

    Test leads, fuses, batteries and calibration are not covered under any implied warranty. “Lifetime” of products that are no longer offered by Sperry will be either repaired or replaced with an item of Sperry Instruments choice of similar value. Lifetime is defined as 5 years after Sperry discontinued manufacturing the product, but the warranty period shall be at least ten years from date of purchase.
