continuity by touching the probe tips together. The value must be approximately <0.5
Ω. If
the reading is not zero press REL to adjust to zero. Connect the probes across the object
to be measured ensuring a good clean contact. The LC display will show the
measurement in Ohms and an audible tone will sound if the circuit is less than 50 ohms.
3.6 Capacitance
Ensure that the capacitor to be measured is safely isolated from any voltage source. Turn
the rotary switch to the capacitance setting. Press select until the LC display will show
either nF / µF / mF. When showing nF, if the display is higher than 0.000 nF press the REL
button to zero. Ensure the test leads are connected to the correct meter terminals.
Connect the probes across the capacitor to be measured ensuring a good clean
contact. The LC display will show the results.
3.7 Current
Current measurement is possible in three ranges µA , mA or 10A. All ranges have fused
protection to prevent overload. Turn the rotary switch to the current range required.
Ensure the test leads are connected to the correct meter terminals for the range selected.
Press the select button to choose AC or DC as required. Connect the test probes in series
with the circuit to be measured. The display will indicate polarity along with the
measurement.
Never measure >600 mA on the µA / mA range or >10A on the 10A range as this will cause
the fuse to blow. The voltage in the circuit being measured must not exceed 1000V AC or
DC.
3.8 Non Contact Voltage (VAC)
Turn the rotary switch to NCV range. The LC display will display EF and NCV icon. Hold the
meter and move the NCV sensor near to the live power source. On detection of an AC
source the red LED will blink, an audible tone sounds and the bar graph on the LC display
indicates the signal strength.
3.9 Temperature
Turn the rotary switch to Temp and press the select button to chose °C or °F. Insert the K
type leads into the correct meter terminals. Make a good contact between the K type tip
and the object to be measured. Allow at least 30 seconds before taking the reading.
3.10 Frequency
Select the Hz/% button to toggle between frequency and duty cycle. Results will be
displayed on the LC display.
