1. INTRODUCTION This meter measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency (electrical & electronic), Duty Cycle, Diode Test, Insulation Test, and Continuity plus Thermocouple Temperature. It can store and recall data. It features a waterproof, rugged design for heavy duty use.
Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY III is equipment in fixed installations. Note – Examples include switches in the fixed installation and some equipment for industrial use with permanent connection to the fixed installation. OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY IV is for use at the origin of the installation.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. 4. CONTROLS AND JACKS 1 - mA, μA, temp,INS and Rlow 8 - INSULATION LOCK button input jacks 9 - COM input jack 2 - 10A input jacks 10 - Input Terminal to operate the...
6. 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.
6.2. AC VOLTAGE (FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENT CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter. WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets.
6.4. DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS 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. 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 2.
6.5. AC CURRENT (FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS 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. 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.
6.6. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS 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. Ω 1. Set the function switch to the position.
6.8. DIODE TEST Ω 1. Set the function switch to the position. 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive Ω jack. 3. Press the MODE button to indicate “ ”...
6.10. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS 1. Set the function switch to the 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 “ºC” or “ºF” 4. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure.
6.12. INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS 1. Set the rotary function switch to the INSULATION position ,and Press the RANGE button to chose one of the voltage which display on the left . 2. Connect two testing lines to the tested. 3. Push down and hold the “TEST” button to be test. If there is voltage (AC/DC) over 30V, the insulation test will not work.
rigging by connecting one megohmmeter lead to each of them individually, leaving the other connected to the grounded motor housing. The above also applies to DC Generators. CABLES Disconnect the cable from the line. Also disconnect opposite end to avoid errors due to leakage from other equipment.
DAR is selected, the lock function will be active. 4. Connect the two testing line to be tested. 5. When the PI OR DAR functional test is complete, the instrument will automatically exit the test and display the result on the left side of the LCD display.
7. 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.
7.4. HOLD The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key momentarily to activate or to exit the HOLD function. 7.5. PEAK HOLD The Peak Hold function captures the peak voltage or current. The meter can capture negative or positive peaks as fast as 1 millisecond in duration. Press and hold for about two seconds the PEAK button, “PEAK”...
8. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the back cover or the battery or fuse covers. WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery and fuse covers are in place and fastened securely. This MultiMeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care instructions are performed: 1.
8.2. REPLACING THE FUSES WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the meter cover. 1. Disconnect the test leads from the meter. 2. Remove the battery cover (two “B” screws) and the battery. 3.
