Automotive Digital Multimeter
INTRODUCTION
This meter is a high-performance 3 5/6-digit digital autorange automotive multimeter. Besides AC and DC
voltage, AC and DC current, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, temperature, frequency, duty cycle
measurement functions, this meter can also measure RPM, dwell angle and pulse width. It features
relative measurement, data hold, backlight, low battery indication, overrange indication, auto power off,
meter-to-PC communication, and etc. It is an ideal measurement tool for automotive repair and service
personnel.
SAFETY INFORMATION
This meter has been designed according to IEC 61010 concerning electronic measuring instruments
with a measurement category (CATIII 1000V) and pollution degree 2.
Warning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:

Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter, inspect the case. Pay particular
attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.

Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity.
Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.

Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the
meter serviced.

Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor or dust.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage. as marked on the meter, between terminals or between
any terminal and earth ground.

Before use, verify the meter's operation by measuring a known voltage.

When measuring current, turn off circuit power before connecting the meter in the circuit. Remember
to place the meter in series with the circuit.

When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.

Use caution when working with voltage above 30V ac rms, 42V peak, or 60V dc. Such voltages pose
a shock hazard.

When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

When making connections, connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead.
When you disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.

Remove the test leads from the meter before you open the battery cover or the case.

Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the case removed or loosened.
