Page 4: Overvoltage Category
8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be stored for long periods. 9. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit whose voltage exceeds 500V AC. 10. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the electrical contacts. -

Page 11: Operation
Operation Measurement Considerations NOTICE: Read and understand all warning and caution statements listed in the safety section of this operation manual prior to using this meter. 1. Always move the rotary function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. This meter has Auto Power OFF that automatically shuts the meter OFF if 17 minutes elapse without activity. - Page 12 Resistance and Continuity Measurements 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the V/Ω/CAP jack. 2. Set the function switch to the "Ω " position. 3. Press the SELECT key momentarily to select Continuity (if required). 4.
- Page 13 Frequency Measurements 1. Connect and make the measurement required as described in the previous paragraphs. 2. Press the Hz key to select the Frequency (Hz) function. 3. Read the frequency on the display Notes on sensitivity: Input sensitivity varies automatically with function range selected. The mV function has the highest (300mV) and the 1000V range has the lowest (300V) sensitivity.
- Page 14 MAX/MIN (MP530 only) 1. Press the MAX/MIN key to activate the MAX/MIN recording mode. The display annunciators "MAX/MIN" will appear. The meter will beep every time a new maximum or minimum reading is sensed. Auto power off is disabled while in MAX/MIN mode. 2.

RS-232 PC Interface This instrument is equipped with an optically isolated interface port (located on the rear of the meter). An optional Windows software (part no. SW800) and interface package is available for data acquisition applications. This optional kit is required to connect the meter to a PC. - Page 16 Battery Replacement Loosen the 2 screws from the battery access door of the case bottom. Lift the battery access door and thus the battery compartment up. Replace the battery. Re-fasten the screws. Battery: Standard 9V Alkaline (NEDA1604, JIS006P, IEC6F22) Fuse Replacement 1.
