BUTTON OPERATION 

Non-Contact Voltage Detection

 key, is used to detect power with a sensor located at the  

tip of the clamp head and indicates positive response with an audible alarm and visual LED  

indicator light just above the “NCV” button. See reverse side for instructions.

 

Selection

 key, switches measurement functions that share a selector position. By pressing  

“SEL” key to toggle between AC and DC Volts, Diode, Continuity, Capacitance and Resistance.

 

Range 

key, press “RAN” key; to toggle between Automatic Ranging and Manual Ranging.  

“Auto” icon will show on the display. Press and hold “RAN” to return to Auto Ranging.

Hz%

  

Frequency / Duty Ratio

 selection key. Pressing this key can select Voltage / Frequency / Duty  

Ratio or Current / Frequency / Duty Ratio pending selector position. 

 

Hold 

key, press “HOLD” key; the reading will be locked and “HOLD” icon will display on  

display. Press “HOLD” key again to release.

 

Backlight
