The environment will have a negative result on its operation if you are not careful. If the air is damp, components will rust. If the machine is unprotected from dust and debris; components will become clogged.

HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

5.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This instrument complies with IEC1010 (International Electrotechnical Commission promulgated safety standards). Design and production with an over- voltage category (CATIII) and using the pollution level 2 safety requirements.

Warning
To avoid electrical shock or personal injury.
Please read the safety information and “warnings and precautions” before use.

Warning: When measuring voltage above 30V, current above 10ma, AC power with an inductive load. Use caution not to touch exposed contacts due to the risk of electric shock, only use approved probes or clamps.

1. Before measuring, check whether the measurement function switch is in the correct position, check whether the test probe is connected correctly to avoid electric shock.
2. The meter is only to be used in conjunction with the supplied test leads to comply with safety standards. If the test leads are broken or damaged, replace the test leads of the same type or the same electrical specifications.
3. Do not use an unapproved fuse to replace the fuse inside the meter. Only replace with the same model or the same specifications of the fuse. Before changing, remove the test leads to ensure that there is no signal input.
4. Do not use unapproved batteries to replace the battery inside the meter. Replace only with the same model or the same electrical specifications of the battery. DO NOT mix new and old batteries and do not use re-chargeable batteries. Before changing, remove the test leads to ensure that there is no signal input.
5. During electrical measurements, the body must not be directly in contact with the earth, use insulating materials to keep your body insulated from the earth.
6. Do not store or use in high temperature, high humidity, flammable, explosive and strong magnetic field environments.
7. Measurements exceeding the limit values of the instrument may damage the instrument and endanger the safety of the operator.
8. Do not attempt to calibrate or service the instrument.
9. When the LCD shows “ ”, please replace the battery.
10. Do not insert the test leads to be inserted into the current terminals to measure the voltage!

8.6 TRANSISTOR TESTING

1. Set the measurement function range switch to the ‘hFE’ position.
2. Determine whether the transistor under testing is NPN or PNP. Insert the leads into the correct holes of hFE socket on the front panel.

8.7 DIODE TEST

1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to VΩmAprobe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to ** F position.
   Note:**
   A) The meter will show approximate forward voltage drop of the diode.

8.8 CONTINUITY TESTING

1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to VΩmAprobe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to the position.
   Note:
   If the circuit is open, figure ‘1’ will be displayed.
