Output Power Supply

How to use

Rotate the “COARSE” knob to choose the desired voltage. The value on the display will blink, when power is on, identifying 
that there is no output voltage in the power output terminals. Also, use the “FINE” knob to make small adjustment of voltage. 
After that, connect load to the power output terminal and press the “ON/OFF” button. The regulated power supply is 
connected to the load when the value on the display stops blinking.

Operating Range

•  Maximum output power: 15W (MAX)
•  Voltage: 1.2 ~ 12 VDC
•  Maximum output current: 1A

Safety information

Test probe

•  This test probe is designed for use only with DSTS.

•  Technical specification: The maximum voltage is 1,000V, and the maximum current is 10A.

•  Operating environmental conditions:

The multimeter is suitable for indoor use. Do not use or store the multimeter in an environment of high temperature, humidity, 

explosives, flammables or strong magnetic field. The performance of the meter may deteriorate if the unit becomes wet. Use 

the meter only as specified in this operating manual, otherwise the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.

Safety information

In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and action that pose hazards to the user, or may damage the meter or the 

equipment under test. A Note identifies the information that the user should pay close attention to.

Rules for Safe Operation:

Warning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury and to avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, 
adhere to the following rules:

1.  Before using the multimeter, inspect the case. Do not use the multimeter if it is damaged or the case (or part of the case) is removed. 

Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulation around the connectors.

2.  Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test for continuity. Replace damaged test leads with 

identical model number or electrical specifications before using the meter.

3.  Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the multimeter, between the terminals or between any terminal and grounding.
4.  The rotary switch should be placed in the right position and do not change the range while a measurement is being conducted to 

prevent damage to the multimeter.

5.  When the multimeter is working on a voltage over 60V in DC or 42V RMS in AC, special care should be taken for there is danger 

of electric shock.

6.  Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.

7.  Do not use or store the multimeter in an environment of high temperature, humidity, explosives, flammables or strong 

magnetic 

field. The performance of the meter may deteriorate if the unit becomes wet.

8.  When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

9.  Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes and current.
10.  Before measuring the circuit, check the meter’s fuse and turn off power to the circuit.
11.  Remove test leads and temperature probe from the multimeter and turn the meter power off before opening the multimeter case.
12.  To avoid damage to the multimeter and to prevent any accidents, the internal circuit of the meter should not be altered.
13.  Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the multimeter. Do not use abrasive solvents on the surface. 

This may cause corrosion or accidental damage to the station.

14.  The multimeter is suitable for indoor use only.
15.  Turn the multimeter off when not in use and take out the battery when not using the meter for a long period of time.
16.  Constantly check the battery as it may leak when it gets weak, and replace the battery immediately if leaking appears. A leaking 

battery will damage the multimeter.

17.  The meter’s fuse cannot be replaced.
18.  Do not use water to clean. This may cause a direct safety hazard, an electric shock hazard, or a hazard resulting from corrosion 

or other weakening of structural parts associated with safety. Use a dry cloth to clean the test probe.
