Alarm sounds on false terminal input

1.  Please select correct terminal input and also turn the 

rotary switch to select correct measuring function and 

range. If not, the buzzer beeps and the warning signal 

flashes.

●  To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit due to 

electric shock, please do not attempt to measure any 

voltage higher than 1000 V though reading may be 

obtained.

●  The  unit  has  an  input  impedance  of  approximately 

10MΩ  (ACV  input  impedance  of  approximately  2MΩ)

which can cause measurement errors for high impedance 

circuits, so input impedance must be taken into account.

●  Before  measuring  the  current,  the  circuit  under  test 

should be de-energized first. Remember that it should be 

connected in series with the circuit to be test. 

●  Never  use  it  to  measure  current  higher  than  10A. 

Though it is possible to get a readout for any current 

below  20A,  but  it  may  damage  the  unit  or  endanger 

yourself. 

● For an accurate measurements, de-energize the  circuit            

to be tested and discharge any capacitors.

●  When  measuring  a  resistance  equal  or  higher  than 

1MΩ, it is normal for the unit to take several seconds to 

obtain a stable reading. In order to obtain a stable reading, 

choose shorter test leads to carry out measurement.

●  

When measuring low resistance, the test leads and the 

internal wiring of the unit will incur a resistance around 

0.1Ω

~

0.2Ω.  To  obtain  accurate  reading,  short-circuit  the 

test leads beforehand and record the reading obtained, 

such reading should be deducted from the final readout to 

ensure the accuracy of the measurement.

●  If the diode to be tested is a silicon diode junction,  it is 

normal if the reading  falls into  a  scope between  500mV 

and 800mV. For continuity tests, if the resistance between 

two terminals is greater than 100Ω,  it  is considered to be 

an open circuit. If the resistance is less than 10Ω,  then  it 

is a close continuous circuit, signaled by an audible  alert. 

The readout then is nearly equal  to the  resistance of  the 

circuit.

Open circuit voltage is around 3V; 
for Silicon P-N junction, 0.5

0.8V 

is considered as a normal value.

Open circuit voltage is 

approximately 3V

If the resistance between two terminals is tested to 

be more than >100Ω, it is considered as open circuit, 

the buzzer does not beep or it is in good connection 

if it is equal or less than ≤10Ω, the buzzer keeps 

beeping.

1 b0 is about 10μA,  Vce is 

about 2.5V
