TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, disconnect both
test probes from any source of voltage before making a
temperature measurement.
1.
If you wish to measure temperature in
o
F, set the function
switch to the
o
F range. If you wish to measure
temperature in
o
C, set the function switch to the
o
C
range.
2.
Insert the Temperature Probe into the negative (-) jack
(COM) and the positive (+) jack (Temperature), making
sure to observe the correct polarity.
3.
Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose
temperature you wish to measure. Keep the probe
touching the part under test until the reading stabilizes
(about 30 seconds).
4.
Read the temperature in the display. The digital reading
will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, be sure the
thermocouple has been removed before changing to another
measurement function.
BATTERY TEST
1.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM
jack and the red test lead banana plug into the

Select the
9V
BAT
position using the function select
switch.
3.

battery and the black test lead to the negative side of the
9V battery.
4.
Read the voltage in the display.
Good
Weak
Bad
9V battery: >8.2V
7.2 to 8.2V
<7.2V
CLAMP CURRENT TEST
1.
Insert the clamp –on adaptor black banana plug into the
negative
COM
jack and the clamp –on adaptor red
banana plug into the positive
uA, mA. A
jack.
2.
Select the clamp current DC or AC position using the
function select switch.
3.
Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose one
conductor to be measured.
4.
The meter LCD will display the reading.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
WARNING
: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test
leads from any source of voltage before removing the
battery door.
1.
When the batteries become exhausted or drop below
the operating voltage, “BAT” will appear in the
right-hand side of the LCD display. The battery should
be replaced.
2.
Follow instructions for installing battery. See the
Battery Installation section of this manual.
3. Dispose of the old battery properly.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, do not operate your
meter until the battery door is in place and fastened
securely.
BATTERY INSTALLATION

Disconnect the test leads from the meter.
2.
Open the battery door by loosening the screw using a
Phillips head screwdriver.
3.
Insert the battery into battery holder, observing the
correct polarity.
4.
