new “max or min” occurs. 
4.5.2. Press the MAX/MIN 

key and a blinking “MAX MIN” will appear. The meter 

will display the present reading, but will continue to update and store the max 
and min readings.   

To exit MAX/MINmode press and hold the MAX/MIN key for 2 seconds. 
 

PeakHold button

   

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. 

Press the PEAK button, “Peak MAX” will display. 

3. The display will update each time a higher positive peak occurs. 
4. 

Press the PEAK button again, “Peak MIN” will display. The display will now 

update and indicate the lowest negative peak. 

5. 

To return to normal operation, press and hold the PEAK button until the Peak 

MIN or “Peak MAX” indicator switches off.

Meter functions   

 

1. Voltage(V) 

 

The meter will automatically select the best voltage(V) range. 

 

Press 

“AC/DC” button to select AC or DC. 

 
Insert: 
*black lead in COM terminal. 
*red lead in V/

Ω

/

RPM terminal . 

 
Touch the Black probe to the circuit coming from the power source. 
Touch the Red probe to the circuit coming from the power source . 
 

IMPORTANT: voltage must be measured in parallel (red probe measuring 
circuit from power source). 

 
 

Accuracy 

Selection  of  a  lower  range  will  move  the  decimal  point  one  place  and 

increase  the  accuracy  of  the  reading  .An  OL(Over  limit)  display  means  the 
range is too low .select the next higher range. 

 

 

2. Resistance(

Ω

 

IMPORTANT: 

if you are testing an application that has capacitors in the circuit. 

be sure to turn the power OFF on the test circuit and discharge all capacitors. 
Accurate measurement is not possible if external or residual voltage is present.
