1. INTRODUCTION 

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Model 382860 True RMS Power MultiMeter. 

Four LCD displays offer four simultaneous readings e.g. during “POWER” measurements, 

simultaneous displays of  power, current, AC voltage and power factor can be viewed; AUTO 

RANGE always selects the correct measuring range to achieve best accuracy; REL 

(Relative) function allows the operator to measure a value with respect to a preset reference 

value; CMP (Comparator) function allows a comparative measurement to be made (the 

upper/lower limits can be defined); MEM (Memory) and RCL (Recall) functions permit 10 

measurements to be stored in memory for later recall; AUTO-POWER-OFF extends the life of 

the battery by turning off the meter if neither the rotary function switch nor any button is 

operated for 12 minutes. The AC Adaptor required for Power measurements is included.
