1. Initial Preparation:
• A ‘Self Test’ MUST be performed to ensure the
equipment is working correctly.
To ‘Self Test’, touch the multi-tester blade (Tip) with
one finger and the ‘Touch Pad Screw’ with the
other finger.
The red LED will light up if the equipment is working
correctly. Do not use if the red LED doesn’t light up.
Self Test
2. Testing AC Voltage:
Direct Contact Method (70-250VAC)
When testing the “TIP” MUST be in direct contact with the “live” part of the AC Voltage.
A “Red” LED lights up indicating the AC Voltage.
NOTE: When in direct contact method mode, hold the
multi-tester by the body (fig.1).
To avoid the risk of electric shock:
DO NOT touch the touch pad when testing the
direct contact method (fig.2).
Non-Contact Method (70-600VAC)
Tracking a wire:
Plug in the appliance and switch on the socket. Hold the
multi-tester by the tip, move the handle close to the cable
starting nearest the plug top. The red LED will illuminate.
Track down the cable and the LED will go out when a break in
the cable is detected.
Note: The LED can flicker while performing this test.
Light Switch/Socket Testing:
To check a switch/socket, hold the multi-tester by the
insulated part covering the blade, and place the handle
towards switch/socket, the red LED will illuminate if power
is present.
Note: Holding the tip can increase sensitivity.
Microwave Leakage Detection:
1. Place a cup of water inside the oven. (It is not safe to
operate the oven empty)
2. Set the oven to 1 minute at “HIGH” and turn on.
3. Hold the multi-tester by the tip and move the tester slowly
over and around the door edge and glass front of
oven. LED lights up when microwave leakage is detected.
* Does not light up at
negative (normal)
* lights up at negative
(weak/drained)
3. Quick Appliance Continuity Test:
Quickly check your appliance plug without the need to dismantle the plug. Unplug
the appliance, (if the appliance has an ON/OFF switch make sure its in the ON
position). Hold the plug by one of the two lower pins, Live/Neutral, place the tip of
the multi-tester on the other pin and hold the Touch Pad end. If red LED illuminates,
this shows the circuit is complete, showing the fuse is intact
Note: the light may fade as the appliance absorbs the energy.
5. DC Continuity Test
CAUTION: Disconnect equipment from any mains or high voltage
power supply prior to testing
The multi-tester can check between 1.5-36 VDC
1. Polarity Check helps identify the polarity of DC Voltage.
• To check polarity hold the body of the multi-tester with one
finger on the touch pad and place the tip on a terminal of the
battery, place a finger on the other terminal.
• The LED will light up if the tip is on the positive terminal.
• The LED will not light if the tip is on the negative terminal.
Note: Should the LED give a slight glow, when the tip is on the
negative terminal, this indicates the battery is weak / drained.
4. Continuity Bulb & Fuse Test:
Hold the bulb or fuse with a finger on one of the two terminal points.
Hold the multi-tester with a finger on the touch pad screw, and place the screwdriver
tip against the other terminal point. The red LED indicator will glow brightly when the
filament or fuse are OK.
Technical:
1. AC Voltage test: Contact method from 70-250VAC
Non-Contact method from 70-600VAC
2. DC Voltage Test: Up to 250VDC
3. Polarity Test: 1.5V - 36VDC
4. Continuity Check: 0-50M
Ω
5.
Microwave Leakage Detection: ≥5mW/cm²
Important Information Before Operation:
1. A ‘Self Test’ must always be performed before each use to ensure the multi-tester
is working correctly (see instructions below).
2. Correct measurement is only guaranteed within a temperature range of 0°C to
+40°C (32°F to 104°F) and the frequency range of 50 to 500Hz
3. The LED indicator visibility can be reduced in bright light.
4. The multi-tester should not be used to test voltages above the stated
rated voltage.
5. The multi-tester must not be used in wet or damp conditions.
6. If the multi-tester identifies a fault, always isolate/switch off/remove fuses.
NEVER work on live apparatus and confirm isolation before you start any works.
7. Always inspect the multi-tester before use and do not use if there is any sign
of damage.
8. Static electricity may be generated by rubbing the “body of the screwdriver”.
This will cause a faulty reading.
9. Never try to modify any components / parts inside the tester.
10. The multi-tester may only be used under the conditions and for the purposes
for which it was designed.
NOTE: If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT:
Always follow the Standard Electrical Best Practice guidelines.
A copy of these can be found at http://www.hse.gov.uk/electricity
• Always repeat this test to ensure the multi-tester is functioning correctly
before use.
• When testing, look for a constant bright glow from the LED indicator. Static
electricity may occasionally cause a flicker from the LED indicator, this is normal
and can be disregarded. If an appliance fails, check that the plug is correctly
wired and inspect the connecting cable. Test the fuse and ensure that it is correct
ampage for the appliance. Then re-test the appliance.
• Faulty appliances should be taken to a recognised repair agent or disposed of
safely in accordance with local regulations. If you are in any doubt, always contact
a qualified electrician.
