    Operation CAUTION Before operating the device, you must read, understand, and follow all instructions, dan- gers, warnings, cautions, and notes. When the meter is not in use, the function switch should be set to the OFF position. When connecting the probe leads to the device under test, connect the negative lead be- fore connecting the positive lead.
  • Page 17: Auto And Manual Range Modes

    Operation 5.3 Auto and Manual RANGE Modes In Auto Range mode, the meter automatically selects the most appropriate measurement scale. In Manual range mode, the desired range (scale) is set manually. Auto range mode is the default mode of operation. When a new function is se- lected with the function switch, the starting mode is Auto range and the indica- tor is displayed To enter Manual range mode, press the RANGE button (the Auto Range icon...
  • Page 18: Voltage Measurements

    Operation 5.6.1 Voltage Measurements 1. Set the function switch to the V position. 2. To manually select AC, DC, or AC + DC measurement, press the MODE button repeatedly. Refer to Section 5.2, Auto/Manual select mode. 3. To manually select the measurement range (scale), press the RANGE but- ton repeatedly.
  • Page 19: Extended Functions

    Operation 4. To manually select the measurement range (scale), press the RANGE but- ton repeatedly. Refer to Section 5.3, Auto/Manual Range mode. 5. Press the trigger to open the clamp jaws. Fully enclose one conductor (re- fer to Fig. 5.1). For optimum results, center the conductor in the jaws. 6.
  • Page 20 Operation Press the OK button to toggle between the display of Peak Maximum and Peak Minimum. In Peak Max mode, the indicator is displayed. In Peak Min mode, the indicator is displayed. Long press the OK button to disable Peak mode. 5.6.3.3 Inrush Current Mode In Inrush current mode, the meter displays the highest current reading in the first 100 ms after the trigger point (current detection threshold, see Fig.
  • Page 21 Operation 1. Ensure that there is no conductor in the clamp jaws. 2. Use the navigation buttons to select and enable DC Zero mode. 5.6.3.5 Frequency Measurements In Frequency mode, the meter measures and displays frequency. Frequency mode is available when measuring AC current or voltage in manual Select mode.

    Operation 4. Press OK to switch the display between Harmonic Order Indication mode and Percentage mode. 5. Long press OK to exit. 5.6.3.8 VFD Mode (Low Pass Filter) The VFD mode eliminates high frequency noise in voltage measurements us- ing a low-pass filter. The VFD mode is designed for variable frequency drive (VFD) measurements.

    Operation 6. To measure and display the power factor, press the MODE button repeat- edly until the indicator is displayed. 7. Read the power factor value on the display. • If the value is displayed without a sign, the phase of the current signal is lagging the voltage signal (inductive load).
  • Page 24 Operation Figure 5.4 Three-phase, three-wire test setup. 1. Set the function switch to the W position. 2. If the or the indicator is displayed, press the MODE button re- peatedly until they switch off. 3. Take two measurements of the active power, in accordance with Fig. 5.4. 4.
  • Page 25 Operation Figure 5.5 Three-phase, four-wire test setup. 1. Set the function switch to the W position. 2. If the or the indicator is displayed, press the MODE button re- peatedly until they switch off. 3. Take three measurements of the active power, in accordance with Fig. 5.5. 4.

    Operation 6. To return to active power measurements, press the MODE button repeat- edly until the indicators switch off. 5.8.3 Phase Rotation With the meter set to Phase rotation mode, it is possible to determine the phase rotation for a three-wire system. Note: The system frequency must be stable.
  • Page 27: Resistance Measurements

    Operation 6. Move the red test lead to the presumed phase line 2 (L2) immediately, be- fore the L2 display icon switches off. 7. One of the following results is displayed: • 123 indicates clockwise or forward rotation, which means that the pre- sumed phase line 1 (L1) is ahead of the presumed phase line 2 (L2).
  • Page 28: Continuity Test

    Operation 2. If necessary, use the MODE button to select capacitance measurement mode. The indicator will be displayed. 3. Insert the black probe lead into the negative COM terminal and the red probe lead into the positive terminal. 4. Touch the tips of the probe across the part under test. 5.
