1. SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
Avoid doing that in humid or wet places
Avoid doing that in rooms where explosive gas, combustible gas, steam or excessive dust is present
Keep you insulated from the object under test
Do not touch exposed metal parts such as test lead ends, sockets, fixing objects, circuits etc
Avoid doing that if you notice anomalous conditions such as breakages, deformations, fractures, leakages of battery liquid, blind
display etc
Be particularly careful when measuring voltages exceeding 20V to avoid risks of electrical shocks
The following symbols are used:

INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1.
Switch on the desired measurement range among the options: 200mV
, 2000mV
, 20V
, 200V
, 500V
2.
Insert the test leads into the jacks, the red plug into V
mA
A
jack and black plug into COM jack and connect the red and black
test leads to the positive and negative poles of the circuit under test respectively. The voltage value is displayed. Press the HOLD
key to fix the result at display. The symbol "-" on the instrument display indicates that voltage has opposite direction with regard to
the connection performed
3.
If the message "OL" is displayed the higher range is reached
4.2.
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
1.
Turn on the instrument in any position of the rotary switch, approach it closest to AC source and note the turn on of red LED which
is placed to the top (see Fig.1 – part 7) which detect the AC voltage
2.
Switch on the desired measurement range between the options: 200V
, 500V
3.
Insert the test leads into the jacks, the red plug into V
mA
A
jack and black plug into COM jack and connect the red and black
test leads to the circuit under test. The voltage value is displayed. Press the HOLD key to fix the result at display
4.
If the message "OL" is displayed the higher range is reached
