1. CAUTIONS
- Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death.
Read and understand
this user manual before operating the meter.
- Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.
- Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any
damage before operating the
meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.
- Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are
greater than 60V DC or 42V AC rms.
- Warning! This is a class A equipment. This equipment can cause
interferences in the living
quarters; in this case the operator can be required to carry out adequate
measures.
- Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under
test before performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
- Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading
because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical
contacts. Other meansshould be used to ensure that the terminals are not
"live".
- If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
- This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains
hazardous objects as well as small parts that the children could swallow.
In case a child swallows any of them,
please contact a physician immediately
- Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around unattended;
they can be dangerous
for children if they use them as toys
- In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries
to prevent them from training
- Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with
the skin. Always,
therefore, use suitable hand gloves in such cases
- See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into
the fire.
1. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum: 1000V DC,750V AC
2. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.
3. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack
exceeds 600V above earthground.
4. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the
function switch is in the current, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can
damage the meter.
5. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect
the power when making resistance or diode tests.
6. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before
opening the covers to replace
the fuse or battery.
7. NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery cover
is in place and fastened securely.
2. Operating Instructions
WARNING
Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very
dangerous and should be measured with great care.
1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the
meter is not in use.
2. If “1” appears in the display during a measurement, the value
exceeds the range you have selected. Change to a higher range.
NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads
not connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing
reading. This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity. The
reading will stabilize and give a proper measurement when connected
to a circuit.
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
CAUTION:
Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being
switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can
damage the meter.
1. Set the function switch to the highest V DC ( ) position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the COM. Insert the red
test lead banana plug into the V? mA input.
3. Touch the black test probe tip tothe negative side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
4. Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch to
successively lower V DC positions to obtain a higher resolution
reading. If the polarity is reversed, the display will show (-) minus
before the value.
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING:
Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to
contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances
because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result,
the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on
it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the
outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.
CAUTION:
Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched
ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the
meter.
1. Set the function switch to the highest V AC ( ) position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COMjack.Insert red test lead banana plug into the positive Vjack.
3. Touch the black test probe tip to the neutral side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the “hot” side of the circuit.
4. Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch to
successively
lower V AC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading.
