Using the Meter
Preparation
•
Select a function and a range for the item to be
measured using the rotary switch and “
RAN
” button if
necessary. In manual range if the range to be measured
is unknown, start with the highest range.
•
In manual range, “
OL
” is displayed when overload
occurs. Choose a higher range.
•
To perform measurement, first connect the test lead to
common (COM) input then connect the probe tip of the
Meter to the circuit to be tested.
•
If the battery voltage is less than 2.4V,“ ”is displayed.
Please change the batteries.
DC/AC Voltage Measurement
Use caution when measureing high voltage circuits
to avoid electrical shock and injury. do not test
voltages higher than dc/ac 600v.
Warning
•
or higher measurements.
•
Insert the black test lead or lead with test clip in the
“
COM”
jack.
•
Set the rotary switch to the “
V
”position.
•
Press the “
FUNC
” button to switch between DC and AC
measurements. Manual range can be selected by
pressing the “
RAN
” button. Hold “
RAN”
to go back to
Auto range.
•
Connect the probe tip of the meter and tip of the test lead
(or test clip) across the voltage source or load.
•
Read the measurement on the display. The polarity of
the meter’s “+” probe will be indicated.
Make sure the probe cap is screwed on if making CAT III
NOTE:
At small voltage ranges the meter may show unsteady
readings when test leads are not connected to the circuit,
this is normal because of the sensitivity of the meter.
When the meter is connected to the circuit, true readings
will be displayed.
DC/AC Current Measurement
Use caution when measureing high voltage circuits
to avoid electrical shock and injury. do not test
voltages higher than dc/ac 600v.
Warning
• Make sure the probe cap is screwed on if making CAT III
or higher measurements.
• Insert the black test lead or lead with test clip in the
“
COM
” jack.
• Set the rotary switch to the “
mA
”position.
• Press the “FUNC” button to switch between DC and AC
measurements. Manual range can be selected by
pressing the “RAN” button. Hold “RAN” to go back to
Auto range.
• Connect the probe tip of the meter and tip of the test
lead (or test clip) across the power source or load.
• Read the measurement on the display. The polarity of
the meter’s “+” probe will be indicated.
