Digital Multimeter User Manual

QM1594

Thank you for purchasing this Multifunction Environment Digital Multimeter. 
Use this multimeter to measure environmental conditions such as sound & 
light levels, indoor humidity and temperature. Ideal for use in server rooms, 
construction sites, factories, laboratories, greenhouse / hydroponics, archive & 
storage areas, and anywhere environmental conditions need to be considered. 
Take light readings of various spaces and compare them to the recommended 
levels listed in the enclosed manual. The multimeter also features non-contact 
voltage detection and measures both AC & DC voltage and current.

Please familiarise yourself with the functions of the multimeter before use. 
We recommend retaining this manual for ease of reference.

•  Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death.
•  Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
•  Before using the meter, please inspect the condition of the test leads and 

the meter itself for any damage. If damage is present, please discontinue 
use.

•  Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the terminals exceeds 1000V above 

earth ground. 

•  Use great care if voltages are greater than 30VAC RMS. Anything above this 

is considered a shock hazard. 

•  Always discharge capacitors and disconnect power before performing diode, 

resistance or continuity tests. 

•  Do not exceed the maximum limits of the input values shown in the 

specification tables on pages 12-16 of this manual.

•  Remove the batteries from the meter if it will be unused for an extended 

period of time. 

• Always turn the function switch to the off position when not in use.
