WARNING: 
AutoV 
mode input impedance increases abruptly from initial 2.1kΩ to a few hundred kΩ’s 
on high voltage hard signals. “LoZ” displays on the LCD to remind the users of being in such 
low impedance mode. Peak initial load current, while probing 1000VAC for example, can be 
up to 673mA (1000V x 1.414 / 2.1kΩ), decreasing abruptly to approx. 2.4mA (1000V x 1.414 
/ 580kΩ) within a fraction of a second.  Do not use AutoV mode on circuits that could be 
damaged  by  such  low  input  impedance.  Instead,  use  rotary  selector   or   high  input 
impedance voltage modes to minimize loading for such circuits.  
 
ACV, DCV & VFD-ACV functions 
Press  the  SELECT  button  momentarily  to  select  the  subject  functions  in  sequence.  Last 
selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience. 
 

 

 
Note:  
VFD-ACV  and  the  associated  Hz  are  equipped  with  digital  low-pass  filter  (DSP),  and  are 
capable  of  handling  VFD  (Variable  Frequency  Drives)  signals  for  fundamental  V  &  Hz 
readings.  It  also  improves  ACV  and  Hz  reading  stability  when  being  used  in  most  noisy 
electrical environments.
