Introduction 

Unpacking the Instrument 

Carefully remove the meter box from the shipping box. Place the meter box on a 
bench or a flat, stable work surface.  Open the meter box and place the meter on 
the  bench. 

Remove the boxes from the shipping box.  The number of items present will depend  
on which meter configuration was ordered.

Note:

  The line adapter for the benchtop meters inside the meter box in a tray 

below the meter.  

▲

 

Place all items with the meter on the bench. 

Installing the Universal Power Adapter  

(for benchtop meters only)

Carefully, remove the components of white power adapter box. The universal power 
supply has three plugs to be use for 110V, 220V and 240V wall plugs. Select the 
plug that is appropriate for your power source and slide it into the grooves on the 
adapter. A click will be heard when the plug is properly in place in the adapter. 

The external electrical power supplies are rated to be operated at 100-240 VAC, 
0.5A, 50/60 Hz.

This power supply is the ONLY power supply recommended for use with this unit.  
Use of any other power supply will void your meter warranty.

Gently remove the protective plastic over the meter display.
