4.0 OPERATION
This meter is designed with probe holders to allow for
maximum versatility and single hand testing.
When using the test leads, the tester will automatically activate when
connected to AC or DC voltage. The tester will automatically select
the proper function.
4.1 Measuring DC Voltage Levels
Measure the voltage by touching
the test lead tips to the circuit where the value of voltage is needed. If
the “+” test lead is on the positive contact the +VDC light will
illuminate. If the “+” test lead is on the negative contact the -VDC light
will illuminate.

Read the voltage level from the DC voltage scale.
4.2 Measuring AC Voltage Levels
Measure the voltage by touching the test lead tips to the circuit where
the value of voltage is needed. Both polarity indicators will illuminate
to indicate AC Voltage.
Fig. 2
Read the level from the AC voltage scale. The polarity of the leads
does not matter for AC voltage measurements.

2.0 READ FIRST: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read this operators manual thoroughly before using this meter. This manual is intended to
provide basic information regarding this meter and to describe common test procedures
which can be made with this unit. Many types of appliance, machinery and other electrical circuit
measurements are not addressed in this manual and should be handled by experienced service
technicians.
SAFETY WARNINGS
This instrument has been designed, manufactured and tested according to IEC61010: Safety
requirements for Electronic Measuring apparatus, and delivered in the best condition after passing
inspection. This instruction manual contains warnings and safety rules which must be observed by
the user to ensure safe operation of the instrument and retain it in safe condition. Therefore, read through
these operating instructions before using the instrument.
is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause injury or instrument damage.
is reserved for conditions and actions that are likely to cause serious or fatal injury.
is reserved for conditions and actions that can cause serious or fatal injurly. Never
make measurement on a circuit in which voltage over AC 480 V exists.
Use extreme caution when using this meter. Improper use of this meter can result
in severe damage to property, severe personal injury or death. Follow all
instructions and suggestions in this operators manual as well as observing normal electrical
safety precautions. Do not use this meter if you are unfamiliar with electrical circuits and proper
test procedures.
Keep the manual at hand to enable quick reference whenever necessary.
• The instrument is to be used only in its intended applications.
• Understand and follow all the safety instructions contained in the manual.
• It is essential that the above instructions are adhered to.
• Failure to follow the above instructions may cause injury, instrument damage and/or damage to
equipment under test.
• Do not attempt to take measurements in the presence of flammable gasses. Otherwise, the use of the
instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an explosion.
• This tester is designed for intermittent duty only (On 15 seconds, Off 240 seconds). It should only take
several seconds to note a voltage indication. If the reading is maintained longer than 15 seconds,
damage to the unit may occur.
Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measuring range.
Never attempt to make measurements if any abnormal conditions, such as broken case or
exposed metal parts are found on the instrument.
• Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument. For repair or re-calibration,
return the instrument to your local distributor from where it was purchased.
• Verify proper operation on a known source before use or taking action as a result of the indication of
the instrument.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as insulating gloves, insulating boots,
and safety glasses.
• Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, high temperature and humidity or dewfall.
• Using the meter in areas with high magnetic fields can result in inaccurate readings.
• Altitude 2000m or less. Appropriate operating temperature is within 32 °F – 104 °F (0 °C – 40 °C).
• This instrument isn’t dust and water proofed. Keep away from dust and water.
