  • Page 2 1) SAFETY Terms in this manual WARNING identifies conditions and actions that could result in serious injury or even death to the user. CAUTION identifies conditions and actions that could cause damage or malfunction in the instrument. This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the instrument safely and maintaining the instrument in a safe operating condition.
  • Page 3: International Electrical Symbols

    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.

  • Page 5 Analog bar-graph The analog bar graph provides a visual indication of measurement like a traditional analog meter needle. It is excellent for detecting faulty contacts, identifying potentiometer clicks, and indicating signal spikes during adjustments. Average sensing RMS calibrated RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC value of an AC signal.
  • Page 6: Operation

    CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) Common mode voltage is voltage present on both the COM and VOLTAGE input terminals of a DMM, with respect to ground. CMRR is the DMM's ability to reject common mode voltage effect that can cause digit rolling or offset in voltage measurements.
  • Page 7: Forward Bias

    Capacitance, Diode test function Default at . Press SELECT button momentarily to select Diode test function. CAUTION Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load. Diode Diode Reverse Bias Forward Bias Normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to 0.900V.
  • Page 8 Temperature function (Model MP530 only) Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between °C and °F readings, and the new setting will be saved automatically in the non-volatile memory as power up default. K-temp K-temp Note: Be sure to insert the banana plug K-type temperature bead probe with correct polarities.
  • Page 9 CAUTION Using resistance and continuity function in a live circuit will produce false results and may damage the instrument. In many cases the suspected component must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate reading Ω Ω 3 Sec Auto leads resistance calibration When entering the 50Ω...
  • Page 10 μA, mA, and A Current functions Default at DC. Press SELECT button momentarily to select AC. *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).
  • Page 11 50ms MAX/MIN at fast 20/s measurement mode (Model MP530 only) Press the MAX/MIN button momentarily to activate MAX/MIN recording mode. The LCD annunciators “MAX MIN” turn on, and the reading update rate will be increased to 20/second. The meter beeps when a new maximum or minimum reading is updated. Press the button momentarily to read throughout the Maximum (MAX), Minimum (MIN), and Maximum minus Minimum (MAX-MIN) readings.
  • Page 12 Backlighted display Press the SELECT button for 1 second or more to turn on or off the display backlight function. The backlight will also be turned off automatically after 30 seconds to extend battery life. Hold The hold function freezes the display for later viewing. Press the HOLD button momentarily to activate or to exit the hold function Zoom 5x analog pointer (Model MP530 only)
  • Page 13 Relative mode (Model MP530 only) Relative zero allows any reading to be stored as a reference value and all following reading to be reference to that value. Practically all displaying readings can be set as relative reference value including MAX/MIN feature readings. Press the button momentarily to activate and to exit relative zero mode.
  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Auto Power Off (APO) The Auto Power Off (APO) mode turns the meter off automatically to extend battery life after approximately 17 minutes of no activity. Activities are specified as: 1) Rotary switch or push button operations, and 2) Significant measuring readings of above 10% of range or non-OL Ω...
  • Page 15 Trouble Shooting If the instrument fails to operate, check battery, fuses, leads, etc., and replace as necessary. Double check operating procedure as described in this user’s manual If the instrument voltage-resistance input terminal is subjected to accidental high voltage transient the series fusible resistors will blow (become high impedance), like standard fuses, to protect the user and the instrument.
