WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or the circuit being tested while power is applied to the circuit being measured. -

Average sensing RMS calibrated RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC value of an AC signal. Most digital multimeters use average sensing RMS calibrated technique to measure RMS values of AC signals. This technique is to obtain the average value by rectifying and filtering the AC signal. - Page 6 AutoCheck mode (model 257 & 255 only) This innovative AutoCheck feature automatically selects measurement function of DCV, ACV or Resistance () based on the input via the test leads. ●With no input, the meter displays “Auto” when it is ready. ●With no voltage signal but a resistance below 10M...
- Page 7 WARNING: AutoCheck mode input impedance increases abruptly from initial 2.5kΩ to a few hundred kΩ’s on high voltage hard signals. “LoZ” displays on the LCD to remind the users of being in such low impedance mode. Peak initial load current, while probing 1000VAC for example, can be up to 566mA (1000V x 1.414 / 2.5kΩ), decreasing abruptly to approx.

You can also use a plug adapter Bkb32 (Optional purchase) with banana pins to K-type socket to adapt other standard K type mini plug temperature probes. A, mA, and A Current functions Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between DC and AC.
- Page 10 *Note: When measuring a 3-phase system, special attention should be taken to the phase-to- phase voltage which is significantly higher than the phase-to-earth voltage. To avoid exceeding the voltage rating of the protection fuse(s) accidentally, always consider the phase-to-phase voltage as the working voltage for the protection fuse(s).

Press CREST button momentarily to activate CREST (Instantaneous Peak-Hold) mode to capture voltage or current signal duration as short as 5ms. The LCD “C” & “MAX” turn on. Press the button momentarily to read the MAX and MIN readings in sequence. Press the button for 1 second or more to exit CREST capture mode. - Page 12 only the same type of fuse or equivalent Calibration Periodic calibration at intervals of one year is recommended to maintain meter accuracy. Accuracy is specified for a period of one year after calibration. If self-diagnostic message “C_Er” is being displayed while powering on, some meter ranges might be largely out of specifications. To avoid mis-leading measurements, stop using the meter and send it for re-calibration.
