OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1. Connect the red test lead to "VmA
Ω
" jack and the black test lead to "COM" jack.
2. Set the Function/Range switch to desired V DC range. If the voltage to be measured is not known
beforehand, set the range switch to the highest range and then turn it down range by range until
satisfactory reading is obtained.
3. Connect the test leads to the source or circuit to be measured.
4. The voltage value will appear on the LCD along with the polarity of the red test lead .
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1.
Connect the red test lead to "VmAΩ" jack and the black test lead to "COM" jack.
2. Set the Function/Range switch to desired V AC range. If the voltage to be measured is not known
beforehand, set the range switch to the highest range and then turn it down range by range until
satisfactory reading is obtained.
3. Connect the test leads to the source or circuit to be measured.
4. The voltage value will appear on the LCD.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT
1. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack. Connect the red test lead to the "VmA
Ω
" jack if the
current to be measured is less than 200mA. If the current is between 200mA and 10A, connect
the red test lead to the "10A" jack instead.
2. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired
A
mpere range. If the magnitude of the current to be
measured is not known beforehand, set the Function/Range switch to the highest range and then
reduce it range by range until satisfactory resolution is obtained.
3. Turn off power to the circuit which you will measure.
4. Break the circuit path to be measured, connect the test leads in series with the circuit.
5. Turn on power to the circuit, then read the display. The polarity of the red test lead connection will
be indicated as well.
Note
: The maximum allowable current for the "10 A" terminal is 10 A with a maximum test time of 10
seconds. After each measurement, a cooling time of minimum 15 minutes must be respected.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
1. Co
nnect the red test lead to "VmAΩ
" jack and the black test lead to "COM" jack.
2. Set the Function/Range switch to desired
Ω
range.
3. If the resistor to be measured is connected to a circuit, disconnect the voltage and discharge all
capacitors before taking the measurement
4. Connect the test leads across the load to be measured.
5. Read the resistance value on the LCD.
Note
: To avoid electric shock to you or damage to the meter, disconnect circuit power and discharge
all capacitors before resistance measurement.
DIODE MEASUREMENT
1. Connect the red test lead to "VmA
Ω
" jack and the
2. black test lead to "COM" jack.
3. Set the Function/Range switch to “Diode” range.
4. Connect the red test lead to the anode of the diode to be measured and the black test lead to
cathode oufit.
5. The forward voltage drop in mV will be displayed. If the diode is reversed, only figure "1" will be
shown.
Note
: To avoid electric shock to you or damage to the meter, disconnect circuit power and discharge
all capacitors before diode test.
