Page 6: Dc Voltage Measurements
Operating Instructions 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. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected. -
Page 7: Dc Current Measurements
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. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. For current measurements up to 4000µA DC, set the function switch to the µA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the µA/mA jack. -
Page 8: Resistance Measurements
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. Set the function switch to the ΩCAP position. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Ω... -
Page 9: Temperature Measurements
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS Set the function switch to the ºF or ºC position. Insert the Temperature Probe into the input jacks, making sure to observe the correct polarity. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure. Keep the probe touching the part under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds). -
