INSTRUCTION MANUAL
KF-32
FOR SAFETY MEASUREMENTS!!
To prevent an electrical shock hazard to the operator and/or damage to the
instruments, read this instruction manual carefully before using the
instrument. WARNINGS with the symbol on the instrument and this
instruction manual are highly important.
Important Symbols :
The symbol listed in IEC 61010-1 and ISO 3864 means "Caution (refer
to instruction manual)".
WARNING
The symbol in this manual advises the user of an electrical shock hazard
that could result in serious injury or even death.
CAUTION
The symbol in this manual advises the user of an electrical shock hazard
that could cause injury or material damages.
WARNING
Do not measure High Power Line (High Energy Circuits). High Power Line
is very dangerous and sometimes includes High Surge Voltage that
could cause explosive short in the instrument and could result in serious
injury to the operator. This instrument is for Low Power Line
measurement. Even in the Low Power Line, pay careful attention when
measuring high voltage line.

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Correct knowledge of electric measurements is essential to avoid unexpected
danger such as operator's injury or damage to the instrument. Read the following
precautions carefully for safety measurements.
3-1. WARNINGS
WARNING 1. Checks of the Instrument and Test Leads
Before measurement, check if there are no damage to the instrument and the test
leads. Dust, grease and moisture must be removed.
WARNING 2. Prohibition of High Power Line Measurement
Do not measure High Power Line (High Energy Circuits) such as Distribution
Transformers, Bus Bars and Large Motors. High Power Line sometimes includes
High Surge Voltage that could cause explosive short in the instrument and could
result in shock hazard. Generally, shock hazard could occur when the current
between the circuit, that involves more than 30V AC or 42.4V DC, and ground
goes up to 0.5mA or more.
WARNING 3. Warning for High Voltage Measurement
Even for Low Power Circuits of electric/electronic appliances, such as heating
elements, small motors, line cords and plugs, High Voltage Measurements are
very dangerous. To avoid electric shock hazard, pay careful attention not to touch
any part of the circuit.
WARNING 4. Warning for Dangerous Voltage Measurement
For dangerous high voltage measurement, strictly observe the warnings below
(see Fig. 1).
Do not hold the instrument in your hands.
•œ
Keep safety distance from the circuit to be measured and the test leads not to
•œ
touch the dangerous voltage.
Attach black and red alligator clips to the test lead pins.
•œ
Shut down the power of the circuit when connecting test leads to the circuit to
•œ
be measured.
After finishing the measurement, shut down the power of the circuit again and
•œ
discharge the all capacitors. Then, detach alligator clips (test leads) from the
circuit.

WARNING 6. Correct Selection of Range Switch
Always confirm that RANGE Switch is set to the correct position. Do not measure
any voltage except in the DC.V and AC.V ranges.
WARNING 7. Maximum Input Observance
Do not measure any elements that might exceed the specified maximum input
values of each measurement ranges.
WARNING 8. Test Lead Detachment
Detach test leads from the measuring circuit before changing RANGE Switch to
another position or removing rear case for battery or fuse replacement.
3-2. GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING 1. Children and the persons who do not have enough knowledge
about electric measurements must not use this instrument.
WARNING 2. Do not measure the electricity in naked of barefooted to
protect yourself from electrical shock hazard.
WARNING 3. Be careful not to get hurt with the sharp test lead pins.
CAUTION 1. Away the instrument from hot and humid conditions like in
the car. Do not apply hard mechanical shock or vibration.
CAUTION 2. Do not polish the case or attempt to clean it with any cleaning
fluid like gasoline or benzine. If necessary, use silicon oil or
antistatic fluid.
CAUTION 3. Remove the battery when the instrument is out of use for a
long time. The exhausted battery might leak electrolyte and
corrode the inside.

1. DC/AC Scale : AC/DC Voltage, DC Current
Select appropriate scale from "0 - 6", "0 - 12", or "0 - 30" according to the selected
measurement range applying the certain multiple.
Multiply the scale value by the measurement range value.
3. TEMP (•Ž) Scale : Temperature
Read the scale value directly.
4-3. Meter Mirror (How to see the pointer)
The mirror to help the correct reading avoiding the reading error. Read the
meter scale from the position that the meter pointer and its image in the
mirror overlap each other. This position is directly above the meter pointer.
Meter scale must be read viewing the pointer from directly above, but the
clearance between the pointer and the meter scale often causes reading
error if the point of view is moved off to the side.
4-4. Zero Adjustment Screw
Use to take zero adjustment in Voltage and Current measurements. Check if the
meter points to "0" line on the left side of DC/AC scale before starting the
measurement. If it is not on the line, turn Zero Adjustment Screw until the meter
points to "0". This adjustment is necessary for accurate reading.
4-5. 0Ħ Adjustment Knob
Use to take 0Ħ adjustment in Resistance and Temperature measurements. Refer
