1. Introduction
•
The meter measures AC/DC Voltage and Current, Resistance,
Diode Test, Continuity, Capacitance, Frequency, Duty Cycle and
Temperature.
• The meter also tests 1.5V and 9V batteries and offers a Non-
Contact AC Voltage detector.
• In addition, the meter detect Live/Neutral wire through a single test
lead by contact.
• Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of
reliable service.
2 . Safety
2.1. WARNINGS
•
Read, understand and follow Safety Rules and Operating
Instructions in this manual before using this meter.
• The meter’s safety features may not protect the user if not used in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Keep fingers away from the metal probe tips when taking
measurements.
• Before changing functions using the selector switch, always
disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
• Comply with all applicable safety codes, Use approved personal
protective equipment when working near live electrical circuits -
particularly with regard to arc-flash potential.
• Use caution on live circuits, Voltages above 30V AC RMS, 42V AC
peak or 60V DC pose a shock hazard.
• Do not use if the meter or test leads appear damaged.
• Verify operation before using meter by measuring a known live
voltage.
• Do not use the meter in wet or damp environments or during
electrical storms.
• Do not use the meter near explosive vapors, dust or gasses.
• Do not use the meter if it operates incorrectly, protection may be
compromised.
• Do not operate meter while Low Battery warning is on, replace
batteries immediately.
• Do not apply voltage or current that exceeds the meter’s
maximum rated input limits.
