PER IEC1010 OVERVOLTAGE INSTALLATION CATEGORY OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY I is equipment for connection to circuits in which measures are taken to limit the transient overvoltages to an appropriate low level. Note – Examples include protected electronic circuits. OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II Equipment of OVERVOLTAGE CATEGORY II is energy-consuming equip- ment to be supplied from the fixed installation.
SAFETY INFORMATION Caution and proper guidelines must be followed for personal and product safety. Read this instruction manual carefully and completely before using the meter. Lack of caution or poor safety practices can result in serious injury or death. • Always start with power off. Set the function switch to the correct setting before making any measurements and do not change position of the func- tion switch during measurements.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution. The rules listed below must be carefully followed for safe operation. 1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum: Input Limits Function...

Operating Instructions WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. 1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to OFF position when the meter is not in use. 2. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you have selected.
AC Voltage (Frequency, Duty Cycle) Measurements WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it.
DC Current Measurements CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 20A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 2.
AC Current (Frequency, Duty Cycle) Measurements CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 20A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. 2.
Resistance Measurements WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the function switch to the Ω position. 2.
Diode Test 1. Set the function switch to the Ω position. 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack. 3. Press the MODE button to indicate and V on the display.
Capacitance Measurements WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. 1. Set the function switch to the Ω position. 2.
Autoranging/Manual Range Selection When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging. This automatically selects the best range for the measurements being made and is generally the best mode for most measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following: 1.
HOLD The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key momentarily to activate or to exit the HOLD function. MODE To select Resistance, Diode, Continuity, Capacitance or AC and DC Volts and Current. AUTO POWER OFF The auto off feature will turn the meter off after approximate 30 minutes of inactivity.
Maintenance WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the back cover or the battery or fuse covers. WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery and fuse covers are in place and fastened securely. This multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care instructions are performed: 1.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter until the bat- tery cover is in place and fastened securely. NOTE: If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and batteries to make sure that they are still good and that they are properly inserted. Replacing the Fuses WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the fuse cover.
Limited Warranty Circuit-Test Electronics warrants to the original purchaser that this product be free of defect in material or workmanship for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase. Any product which has been subjected to misuse or accidental damage is excluded from the warranty.
