FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Digital Display: A 3-½ digit liquid crystal display (LCD), with 0.5" numerals, maximum reading of “1999” with automatic polarity sign and low battery indicator (see figure 1). Rotary Selector Switch: Select desired measurement by rotating dial to the appropriate position. Input Terminals: Color coding of the measurement selections helps determine which banana jacks (recessed for safety) the probes should be connected to for measurement. -
Page 8: Fuse Replacement
WARNING: Before attempting to replace the battery, first disconnect the test probes from any energized circuit and then disconnect the test probes from the instrument. Disconnect the test probes from any energized circuit, and from the meter. Turn the dial to the “OFF” position. Remove the single screw from the rear of the case with a Phillips screwdriver. -
Page 9: Operation
Replace the battery and rear cover by reversing the above procedure. OPERATION The Digital R/C Multi-Meter’s selection ranges and input jacks are color coded for convenience and safety. The red test probe should always be inserted in the input jack whose color matches the color of the range in which the dial is positioned. - Page 10 being measured and work down from there. Note these areas of the selection range are red in color, to match the color of the proper jack in which the red test probe should be inserted for this type of measurement. CAUTION: To avoid possible electric shock, instrument and/or equipment damage, do not attempt to take any voltage measurements if the voltage is above 200V DC or if the voltage is unknown.
- Page 11 Completely de-energize the circuit in which the current is to be measured. Place the meter in series with the conductor carrying the current which is to be measured. Energize the circuit. If the reading is less than 0.20 amps, you can move the dial to a lower selection for greater accuracy.
- Page 12 resistance and diode measurements should be taken on de-energized circuits only. To avoid possible electrical shock, instrument and/or equipment damage, do not connect the “GROUND” and “VOLTS AND ” jacks to circuits having a potential difference exceeding 250V AC or DC. Do not connect the “GROUND”...
- Page 13 For continuity measurements: A. Move the dial to the selection marked “DIODE” with the buzzer icon underneath. B. Touch the red and black probes together to confirm the audible buzzer sounds and that the LCD reads “.000”. C. Completely de-energize the circuit or device which is to be measured.

are not touching any live electrical circuitry to prevent accidental short circuits and possible damage to the meter and/or other equipment. It is always important to keep the probes completely clear of any live electrical circuitry when not in use.
