Introduction
Overview
The MS2601 is a portable, hand-held professional meter
that measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance,
capacitance, diodes, continuity, frequency, duty cycle,
temperature and non-contact voltage. This meter is easy
to use with one hand, suitable for professional users or
amateurs, and ideal for school or home use.
Precautions:
5. Make sure to set the meter to the correct functions and
measuring range before taking measurement.
6.Do not use the meter on a circuit where the measuring
range is over the capable range specified in the user’s
manual.
7. Do not touch the tips of the test leads when performing
measurement.
8. If the measurement is above 60V DC or 30V AC, make
sure to keep fingers behind the barrier and finger guards.
9. Do not use the meter on a circuit if the voltage is above
600V.
10. In manual mode, if the value to be measured is
unknown, start the meter in the maximum range and
then adjust accordingly.
11. Remove the leads from the circuit first before switching
between functions.
12. Disconnect power and discharge all capacitors before
measuring resistance, capacitance, continuity or diodes.
13. Do not measure capacitance before the capacitors
are discharged.
14. Do not operate the meter near explosive gas, vapor
or dust.
15. Stop using the meter if the meter or test leads appear
damaged or do not function properly.
16. Do not use the meter unless the battery case is securely
fastened to the back of the meter.
17. Do not expose the meter to direct sunlight, heat, or
moisture.
Users must follow standard safety instructions while
using the meter:
1. Once the meter is out of the package, check for any
damage to the meter before using.
2. Double check the meter to make sure all the
components are in good condition.
3. Check the test leads before operation. Check the test
leads for damage to the insulation or wires before use.
4. Use the original test leads included in the package for
best performance and safety. If necessary, use
compatible leads with same specifications as the
originals.
WARNING
The special attention should be paid when using the
meter because the improper usage may cause electric
shock and damage the meter .The safety measures in
common safety regulations and operating instruction
should be complied with when using. In order to make
fully use of its functions and ensure safe operations
please comply with the usage in this section carefully.
