  • Page 11: Operation

    OPERATION WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. This meter has Auto OFF that automatically shuts the meter OFF if 15 minutes elapse between uses.
  • Page 12: Data Hold Button

    situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following: Press the RANGE button. The “AUTO” display indicator will turn off. Press the RANGE button to step through the available ranges until you select the range you want. 3. Press and hold the RANGE button for 2 seconds to exit the ManualRanging mode and return to AutoRanging.
  • Page 13: Backlight Button

    1. Perform any measurement as described in the operating instructions. 2. Press the RELATIVE button to store the reading in the display and the "REL" indicator will appear on the display. 3. The display will now indicate the difference between the stored value and the measured value.
  • Page 14: Dc Voltage Measurements

    Note: The above data only for reference. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter. 1. Set the function switch to the V DC position (“mV” will appear in the display).
  • Page 15: Dc Current Measurements

    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. 1. Set the function switch to the V AC position. 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
  • Page 16: Ac Current Measurements

    4. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to the A position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack. 5. Press the AC/DC button until “DC” appears in the display. 6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point where you wish to measure current.

    will sound. The display will also show the actual resistance. DIODE TEST WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it. 1. Set the function switch to position. 2. Press the button until the symbol appears in the display.
  • Page 20: Frequency Measurement

    FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT 1. Set the function switch to the FREQ position. 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack (COM) and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (+) jack (F). 3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. 4.
  • Page 21: Replacing The Battery

    REPLACING THE BATTERY WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery door. When the batteries become exhausted or drop below the operating voltage, “BAT” will appear in the right-hand side of the LCD display. The battery should be replaced.
  • Page 22: Replacing The Fuses

    WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter until the battery door is in place and fastened securely. NOTE: If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and battery to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted. REPLACING THE FUSES WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the fuse door.
