Operating Instructions WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. 1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use 2. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected.
1. Set the function switch to the green VAC/Hz/% position 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack Insert red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack 3. Touch the black test probe tip to the neutral side of the circuit Touch the red test probe tip to the “hot” side of the circuit 4.
AC Current (Frequency, Duty Cycle) Measurement CAUTION: Do not make 20A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack For current measurements up to 4000μA AC, set the function switch to the yellow μA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the μA/mA jack For current measurements up to 400mA AC, set the function switch...
Resistance Measurement WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the function switch to the green Ω CAP position 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Ω jack 3. Press the MODE button to indicate “Ω” on the display 4.
Temperature Measurement 1. Set the function switch to the green Temp position 2. Insert the Temperature Probe into the input jacks, making sure to observe the correct polarity 3. Press the MODE button to indicate ºF or ºC 4. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure.
% 4 – 20mA Measurement 1. Set up and connect as described for DC mA measurements 2. Set the rotary function switch to the 4-20mA% position 3. The meter will display loop current as a % with 0mA=-25%, 4mA=0%, 20mA=100%, and 24mA=125% Autoranging/Manual Range Selection When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into AutoRanging. This automatically selects the best range for the measurements being made and is generally the best mode for most measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following: 1. Press the RANGE key. The “AUTO” display indicator will turn off...
Relative Mode The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements made in comparison to that value. The displayed value is the difference between the reference value and the measured value.
Low Battery Indication With a fresh battery installed, the battery icon with four lines above it will be displayed in the lower right corner of the LCD. The lines will disappear as the battery is used. When the icon appears alone in the display, the battery should be replaced.
Battery Installation WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery cover. 1. Turn power off and disconnect the test leads from the meter 2. Open the rear battery cover by removing two screws (B) using a Phillips head screwdriver 3. Insert the battery into battery holder, observing the correct polarity 4.
7. Replace and secure the rear cover, battery and battery cover WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the fuse cover is in place and fastened securely.
