Thank you for purchasing this electrical tool,
hereafter also referred to as a “digital tester”.
!
!
IMPORTANT! The digital tester can be
used to measure the following: direct and
alternating current voltages, direct currents,
alternating currents, resistance, temperature,
frequency, capacitance, diode tests, battery
tests and to check the continuity of an electri-
cal circuit. Any other use is prohibited.
These instructions contain the information
needed for the proper use, knowledge and
standard maintenance of the tool. They do not
give information on how to measure circuits and
electrical/electronic components. The user can
find more information in specialised books and
publications or by attending training courses.

TRANSPORT
To transport the tool, always use its packaging
or case (if provided), which will protect it from
impact, dust and humidity which can compro-
mise its normal operation.
SWITCHING ON
At the location where you will use the electrical
tool, the following should be considered:
- that the area is not damp and is sheltered from
the weather.
- that the working area is sufficiently large and
free from obstacles.
- that the area is well lit.
- that the ambient temperature is between the
values listed in the technical data.
- that the environment is not in a flammable/
explosive atmosphere.
Take the tool and its components out and visually
ensure that they are in perfect condition.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
SWITCHING ON/OFF
To switch on, turn the selector (2) to any po-
sition. To switch off, turn the selector to the
“OFF” position.
MEASURING DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE
!
!
WARNING! Risk of electric shock.
1) Connect the red probe to the “VΩ” socket (4),
and the black one to the “COM” socket (3).
2) Bring the selector (2) into the “V ” sector.
3) Take the measurement.
Warning! If you were not to know the voltage
value, always start from the highest value on
the dial and then gradually reduce its value.
MEASURING ALTERNATING CURRENT VOLTAGE
!
!
WARNING! Risk of electric shock.
1) Connect the red probe to the “VΩ” socket (4),
and the black one to the “COM” socket (3).
2) Bring the selector (2) into the “V~” sector.
3) Take the measurement.
Warning! If you were not to know the voltage
value, always start from the highest value on
the dial and then gradually reduce its value.
MEASUREMENT OF CURRENT UP TO 200mA
This tester is not designed for making alter-
nating current measurements.
!
!
Warning! With VΩ socket (4) do not exceed
the limit of 200mA
If in doubt, start measurement in the “10A”
connecting to the socket 10A (5).
1) Connect the red probe to the “VΩ” socket (4),
and the black one to the “COM” socket (3).
