CLOSE OPEN
(4) If the rotation is counter-clockwise, LCD will display “L”.
(5) Testing tips: This measurement uses tester as a virtual
ground; if equipment or user is not properly isolated, the
measurement may not function properly.
5.3 Non-contact Voltage Sensing
(1) To switch on the function, press the “LIGHT / NOT-
CONTACT SENSING SWITCH”, LCD will display “DE-”.
(2) Non-contact voltage indicator “ ” on the top right of the
main probe will light up and buzzer will buzzing when the
sensor is near electromagnetic file greater than 90VAC.
(3) Press the “LIGHT / NON-CONTACT SENSING SWITCH”
again to switch off the function.
(4) This function will automatically switch off after 3 minutes.
5.4 Continuity
(1) CAUTION: Please make sure there is no live voltage
in the circuit before continuity measurement.
(2) Connecting the two probe to the to circuit wish to test,
press both “ON / OFF SWITCH” on two probes, if the
circuit is continued, all indicator on the LCD will flashing,
and buzzer will be buzzing.
(3) CAUTION: If the circuit is continued, equipment
shall act like self-diagnostic.
5.5 Illumination
(1) Long press and hold the “LIGHT / NON-CONTACT
VOLTAGE SENSING SWITCH” to switch on the
illumination light.
(2)
CAUTION:
Illumination function and non-contact
voltage sensing function share the same button, please
operating these two functions carefully.
6. Battery Replacement
• WARNING: Please do not operate any functions and
move the equipment away from the voltage source when
replacing the batteries.
• If LCD flash 5 times then switch off automatically during
self-diagnostic or voltage measurement, it indicating the
equipment is run out of the battery power. Please change
the batteries.
• Battery power level will also display on the LCD during the
voltage measurement; please take caution with the battery
power level.
(1) Unlock the battery cap by a coin.
(2) Open the battery cap and replace the battery. Please
take care of the battery polarity.
(3) Put back the battery cap and lock it by a coin.
8. Cleaning & Storage
• Use a light damp cloth with neutral detergent for cleaning
the instrument. Do not use abrasives or solvent.
• Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, high
temperature and humidity or dewfall.
• Remove batteries when the instrument will not be in use
for a long period.
• Do not lock the battery cap without batteries.
• Read the manual carefully and follow the safety guide for
any operation.
9. Measurement Category
Category IV is for measurements performed at the souce of
the low-voltage installation.
Category III
is for measurements performed in the building
installation.
10. Environment Protection
– Do not dispose electrical appliances as
unsorted municipal waste, use separate
collection facilities.
– Contact your local government for information
regarding the collection systems available.
– If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills
o dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your
health and well-being.
– When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer
is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for
disposal at least for free of charge.
11. Safety Symbol
Always check proper operation of the device on a
known working circuit before using.
Suitable for live working.
Caution, risk of electric shock. Under normal use,
hazardous voltages may be present.
Alternating current.
Both direct and alternating current.
12. Ingress protection (IP) ratings
Ingress protection numbers are used to specify the
environmental protection – electrical enclosure – of
electrical equipment.
The IP rating normally has two numbers:
1. The first number – protection against solid objects.
2. The second number – protection against liquids.
IP65:
The instrument is totally protected against dust and against
low pressure jets of water from all directions.
