To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the 

instrument, do not apply more than 250Vdc or 

250Vac rms between the 

℃  

terminal and the 

COM terminal. 
To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument 
when voltages at the measurement surface exceed 
60v dc or 24v rms. Ac.   
To avoid damage or burns. Do not make 
temperature measurements in microwave ovens. 

 
To measure temperature: 
1. Set the rotary switch to 

℃ 

range and the LCD will show 

the current environment temperature. 

2. Connect the “com” plug and “+” plug of the special 

multi-function socket to the 

COM

 and 

hFE

 terminals.   

3. Insert ‘K’ type thermocouples into the special multi-function 

socket

Takings care to observe the correct polarity.   

4. Touch the object with the thermocouple probe for 

measurement.  

5. Read the stable reading from LCD. 

 

3.2.9 Current measurement 

To avoid damage to the Meter or injury if the fuse 
blows, never attempt an in-circuit current 
measurement where the open-circuit potential to 
earth is greater than 

250

V. 

To avoid damage to the meter, check the meter's 
fuse before proceeding. Use the proper terminals, 
function, and range for your measurement. Never 
place the test leads in parallel with a circuit or 
component when the leads are plugged into the 
current terminals. 

16 

Current is the flow of electrons through a conductor. 
The Meter's DC current ranges are 20.00mA, 200.0mA 

and 10.00A

AC current ranges are 2.000mA, 200.0mA 

and 10.00A. 
To measure current: 
1. Turn off the power of the measured circuit. Discharge all 

the high voltage capacitors.   

2. Set the rotary switch to the proper range. 
3. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and 

the red test leads to the mA terminal for a maximum of 
200mA. For a maximum of 10A, move the red test lead 
to the 10A terminal. 

4. Break the circuit path to be tested.

 

Connect the black test lead to the more negative side of 
the break; connect the red test lead to the more positive 
side of the break. (Reversing the leads will give a 
negative reading, but will not damage the Meter.) 

5. Turn on the power of the measured circuit, and then 

read the display. Be sure to note the measurement 
units at the right side of the display (mA or A). When 
only the figure "1" displayed, it indicates overrange 
situation and the higher range has to be selected. 

6. Turn off the power of the measured circuit and discharge 

all the high voltage capacitors. Remove the test leads and 
recover the measured circuit.
