1. INTRODUCTION This meter measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency (electrical & electronic), Duty Cycle, Diode Test, and Continuity plus Thermocouple Temperature. It features a waterproof, rugged design for heavy duty use. Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of reliable service.
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. Note – Examples include electricity meters and primary over-current protection equipment 3.

6.1. 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 "VDC" position. 2.
6.3. 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.
6.4. 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.
6.5. 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. 1. Set the function switch to the Ω CAP position.
6.7. DIODE TEST 1. Set the function switch to the Ω CAP 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. 3. Press the MODE button to indicate " "...
6.10. FREQUENCY (DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS (ELECTRONIC) 1. Set the function switch to the Hz/% position. 2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive Hz jack. 3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
6.13. AUTO RANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Auto Ranging. 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.
6.17. HOLD The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key momentarily to activate or to exit the HOLD function. 6.18. PEAK HOLD The Peak Hold function captures the peak AC or DC voltage or current. The meter can capture negative or positive peaks as fast as 1 millisecond in duration.
6.20. AUTO POWER OFF The auto off feature will turn the meter off after 15 minutes. To disable the auto power off feature, hold down the MODE button and turn the meter on. "APO d" will appear in the display. Turn the meter off and then on again to re-enable the auto power off feature.
7.1. 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.
