the hFE value of the transistor to be tested.   

 

3.2.7 Measuring inductance 

 Do  not  conduct  measurements  for  frequency 

related with voltages higher than DC 250V or AC 

(effective  voltage)  in  order  to  avoid  electric 

shock and/or damaging the meter. 

The  ranges  for  inductance  of  this  meter  are:  20.00mH, 

200.0mH, 2.000H, and 20.00H.   

To measure inductance:   

1. Set the rotary switch at a proper position, and press down 

“Cx /Lx” key. 

2.  Connect the black measuring tip and the  red measuring 

tip  to  the  COM  input  socket  and  the  LX  input  socket, 

respectively.   

3.  Measure  the  capacitance  of  the  capacitor  to  be  tested 

with  the  other  ends  of  the  measuring  tips,  and  read  the 

measured values from LCD.   

 

3.2.8 Measuring temperature 

 Do not apply voltages higher than DC 250V or AC 

(effective  voltage)  between  the  common  terminal 

and  the 

℃     

terminal  to  prevent  electric  shock 

and/or damaging the meter.   

Do  not  conduct  measurements  on  surfaces  with 

voltages  higher  than  DC  60V  or  AC  24V  (effective 

voltage) to prevent electric shock.   

Do  not  conduct  temperature  measurements  in  a 

microwave  oven  to  prevent  the  meter  from 

catching fire or being damaged.   

 

Measuring temperatures: 

1.  Set  the  rotary  switch  at  the  position  of 

,  and  LCD  will 

output the value of the ambient temperature.   

2.  Properly  connect  the  multi-function  test  sockets  to  the 

meter  (“+”  terminal  plug  of  the  dedicated  multi-function 

test  sockets  is  connected  to  the 

  terminal,  and 

“COM” 

plug is connected to the common terminal). 

3.  Properly  plug  the  Type-K  thermoelectric  couple  to  the 

temperature  sockets  of  the  dedicated  multi-function  test 

sockets.   

4.  Conduct  measurements  on  the  surface  or  the  inner  part 

of the object using the measuring tips of the thermoelectric 

couple. 

13 

5. Read the measured value from LCD.   
 

3.2.9 Measuring Current 

 

If  the  voltage  between  earth and  the  open  circuit 

exceeds 

250

V,  please  do  not  try  to  conduct 

current measurements on the circuit. In case the 

fuse  is  broken  during  the  measurement,  the 

meter can be damaged or your body can be hurt.   

In  order  to  avoid  damaging  the  meter  or  the 

equipment  to  be  tested,  please  check  the  fuse  of 

the  meter  before  conducting  any  current 

measurement.  During  the  measurement,  please 

select  the  correct  input  socket,  the  correct 

position  of  functions  for  the  switch,  and 

measuring  range.  When  one  end  of  a  test  tip  is 

plugged  into  the  current  input  socket,  never 

connect  the  other  end  to  any  other  circuit  in 

parallel.
