BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS
MODE BUTTON
To select DC/ACV,OHM/ Diode/Continuity/CAP,
℃
/
℉
.
REL BUTTON
For DCA and Capacitance Zero & Offset adjustment.
Data Hold Button
To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the data hold button. The data hold button is
located on the left side of the meter (top button). While data hold is active, the
H
display
icon appears on the LCD. Press the data hold button again to return to normal operation
MAX/MIN
The meter displays the maximum or minimum value of the input in MAX/MIN mode. When
MAX/MIN is pressed for the first time, the meter displays the maximum value. When
MAX/MIN is pressed again, the meter displays the minimum value. When MAX/MIN is
pressed for the third time, MAX/MIN blinks and the meter displays the current input value.
To return to normal operation, press and hold MAX/MIN.
PEAK HOLD
The Peak Hold function captures the peak AC voltage or current. The meter can capture negative or
positive peaks as fast as 1 millisecond in duration.
1.
Turn the function switch to the A or V position.
2.
Use the
MODE
button to select AC. Allow time for the display to stabilize.
3.
Press the
PEAK
button,
Pmax
will display. The display will now update and indicate the
highest positive peak.
4.
Press the PEAK button again, Pmin will display. The display will now update and indicate the
lowest negative peak.
5.
Press the PEAK button again,
a blinking “MAX MIN” will appear. The meter will display the
present reading, but will continue to update and store the max and min reading.
6.
Press and hold PEAK to return to normal operation.
Operation
NOTICES
: Read and understand all
warning
and
precaution
statements listed in the
safety section of this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the
function select switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.
AC/DC Current Measurements
WARNING:
Ensure that the test leads are
disconnected from the meter before making current
clamp measurements.
1. Set the Function switch to the
A, mA
range.
2. Select AC or DC with the
MODE
button.
3. If the range of the measured is not known,
select the higher
A
range first then move to the lower
mA
range if necessary.
4. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose the clamp over the conductor wire to be
measured. Only one wire can be measured each time.
5. In DCA measuring mode, to ensure the reading is correct, please press REL button to
clear any residual reading on the LCD before measurement. This should be done
before each measurement.
The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.
AC/DC Voltage Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM
terminal and the
red test lead into the positive
V
terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the
V
position.
3. Select AC or DC with the
MODE
button.
4. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
5. Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.
Resistance Measurements
Note: never attempt an Ohm reading on a live circuit. All power to the circuit must be
turned off.
1.
Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM
terminal and the
red test lead into the positive terminal.
2.
Set the function switch to the
•)))
position.
3.
Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under
Test. It is best to disconnect one side of the device under test so
the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.
