8. Button Description
SELECT Button
In composite scale, press this button to switch between the corresponding
functions or ranges;
HOLD/BACKLIGHT Button
Short press this button to enter/exit the data hold mode, and long press
(about 2s) this button to turn on/off the backlight.
MAX/MIN Button
(valid for ACV/DCV, ACA/DCA, “C/”F, resistance and capacitance scales)
Short press this button to enter the maximum/minimum measurement mode
and long press this button to exit.
REL Button
(valid for ACV/DCV, DCA, “C/”F and capacitance scales).
Press this button to store the current reading as a reference for future
readings. When the LCD display value is reset to zero, the stored reading
will be subtracted from the future readings. Press this button again to exit
the relative value mode.
9.Operating Instructions
9.1 AC/DC Current Measurement (Picture 2)
Select the corresponding current range.
Press the trigger to open the clamp jaws, and fully enclose one conductor.
Only one conductor can be measured at a time, or the measurement
reading will be wrong.
Caution:
Do not insert the testing leads during current measurement to avoid
electric shock.
The current measurement must be taken with safeguard protection.
Press the REL button to return to zero before the DC current
measurement, and meanwhile the center hole of jaw should be
perpendicular to the current direction to ensure accuracy.
The open circuit zeroing reading may be relatively large after (high)
DC current measurement. Please perform the AC current detection
again to counteract the remanence signal by alternating electric field.
9.2 AC/DC Voltage and Voltage Frequency (% duty cycle)
Measurement (Picture 3)
Select the corresponding function scale.
Insert the red test lead into the “positive” jack, and the black into
the “COM” jack.
Connect test leads with both ends of the measured objects.
Caution:
Do not input voltage above 600V to prevent electric shock or damage.
The input impedance of each range scale is 10M
Ω,
this load effect
in high resistance measurement may cause error. If the input
impedance is lower than 10k
Ω,
the error can be ignored (
≤
0.1%).
Be cautious to avoid electric shock when measuring high voltage.
Please check the functions by applying a known voltage before use.
9.3 Continuity Test/Resistance/Diode/Capacitance
Measurement (Picture 4)
Select the corresponding function scale.
Insert the red test lead into the “ ” jack, and the black
into the “COM” jack.
Connect test leads with both ends of the measured object.
Caution:
Do not input voltage above DC 60V or AC 30V to avoid personal
injury.
Please disconnect all the other parts of the circuit to avoid inaccuracy.
Before the resistance online measurement, please do disconnect
all the power and fully discharge all capacitors to avoid injury or
device damage.
If the resistance is over 0.5
Ω
when the test leads are short-circuited,
please check the test leads for looseness or other abnormalities.
If the measured resistor is open or the resistance exceeds the
maximum range, the LCD will display “OL”.
Measured value = displayed value – probe short circuit value
It is recommended to use “REL” measurement mode for capacitance
less than 100nF.
9.4 Temperature Measurement (UT202R only, Picture 5)
Select the temperature measurement function scale.
Insert K-type thermocouple to the meter, fix the temperature probe
on the measured object, and read after the value is stable.

WARNING
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these
instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe
injury or death.
The meter is designed according to EN61010-1, 61010-2-032/033
and electromagnetic radiation protection EN61326-1 safety standards,
and conforms to double insulation, CAT II 600V, CAT III 300V and
pollution grade II. In case the meter is not used properly as instructions,
the protection provided may be weakened or lost.
Before each use verify tester operation by measuring a known voltage.
Before use, please check if there is any item which is damaged or
behaving abnormally. If any abnormal item (such as bare test lead,
damaged meter casing, broken LCD, etc.) is found, or if the meter
is considered to be malfunctioning, please do not use the meter.
Do not use the meter if the rear cover or the battery cover is not
covered up, or it will pose a shock hazard!
Keep fingers behind the finger guards and away from the metal
probe contacts when making measurements.
The function switch should be placed in the correct position before
measurement. It is forbidden to change the position during
measurement to avoid damage to the meter!
Do not apply voltage over 600V between any meter terminal and
earth ground to prevent electric shock or damage to the meter.
Use caution when working with voltages above AC 30Vr.m.s,
42Vpeak or DC 60V. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
Never input voltage or current which exceeds the specified limit.
Maximum range should be selected if measured value is unknown.
Before measuring resistance, diode and continuity, please disconnect
all power and fully discharge all capacitors to avoid inaccuracy.
When the “ ” symbol appears on the LCD, please replace the
batteries in time to ensure measurement accuracy. Batteries should
be removed If the meter is long-term idle.
Do not change the internal circuit of the meter to avoid damage to the
meter and user!
Do not expose the meter in high temperature/humidity, flammable,
explosive or intense magnetic environments.
Clean the meter casing with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents!
