  • Page 2 Introduction This meter measures AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode Test, Continuity plus Thermocouple Temperature. Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of reliable service. Safety This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device indicates that the operator must refer to an explana- tion in the Operating Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to the meter.
  • Page 3: Safety Information

    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.

    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 the OFF position when the meter is not in use. This meter has Auto OFF that automatically shuts the meter OFF if 15 minutes elapse between uses.
  • Page 11: Mode Button

    MODE Button To select Diode/Continuity, DC/AC Hz/%Duty HOLD Button The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key momentarily to activate or to exit the HOLD function. RELATIVE Button The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored reference value.
  • Page 12: Dc Voltage Measurements

    DC Voltage Measurements CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter. 1. Set the function switch to the position. 2. Press MODE (if required) so DC appears on the display. 3.
  • Page 13: Dc Current Measurements

    DC Current Measurements CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A 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.
  • Page 14: Ac Current Measurements

    AC Current Measurements WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit whose voltage exceeds 250V AC. CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads.
  • Page 15: Resistance Measurements

    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.
  • Page 16: Diode Test

    Diode Test WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it. 1. Set the function switch to position. 2. Press the MODE button until appears in the display. 3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack COM and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (+) jack Ω.
  • Page 17: Capacitance Measurements

    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 position. 2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack COM and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (+) jack 3.
