Model UT803: OPERATING MANUAL
4. Press AC/AC+DC button to measure AC+DC voltage’s true RMS.
Note l In each range, the Meter has an input impedance of
10M except 600mV range has 3000M . This loading effect can cause measurement
errors in high impedance circuits. If the circuit impedance is less than or
equal to 10k , the error is negligible (0.1% or less). l When DC/AC voltage
measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing
leads and the circuit under test, and remove the testing leads away from the
input terminals of the Meter.
17
B. DC or AC Current Measurement (See figure 4)
Warning Before connect the Meter in serial with the tested return circuit,
close the return circuit’s current to avoid the dangerous of sparking. If the
fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the operator
himself may be hurt. Use proper terminals, function, and range for the
measurement. When the testing leads are connected to the current terminals, do
not parallel them across any circuit.
To measure current, do the following: 1. Insert the red test lead into the µA
mA terminal and
the black test lead into the COM terminal. 2. Set the rotary switch to an
appropriate measurement
position in µA , mA or A , press SELECT button to select AC or DC measurement
mode. 3. Connect the test leads in serial with the object being measured. The
measured value shows on the display. AC measurement displays True RMS value.
4. Press AC/AC+DC button to measure AC+DC current’s true RMS
18
Model UT803: OPERATING MANUAL (Figure 4)
Model UT803: OPERATING MANUAL
Note l If the value of current to be measured is unknown,
use the maximum measurement position, and reduce the range step by step until
a satisfactory reading is obtained. l For safety sake, each measurement time
of high current (>5A) should be less than 10 seconds and the interval time
between 2 measurements should be greater than 15 minutes. l When current
measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing
leads and the circuit under test, and remove the testing leads away from the
input terminals of the Meter.
19
C. Measuring Resistance (see figure 5)
Warning To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance. To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to input voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V AC.

Model UT803: OPERATING MANUAL (Figure 5)
Model UT803: OPERATING MANUAL
Note l The test leads and the Meter inside wire will bring
around 0.2 to 0.5 of error to resistance measurement when measuring low
resistance. To obtain accurate readings in low-resistance, shortcircuit the
test lead beforehand and record the reading obtained, call this reading as X.
Then use the equation: measured resistance value (Y) (X) = accurate readings
of resistance. l If reading with shorted test leads is not < 0.5 , check for
loose test leads, incorrect function selection, or any other reasons. l When
measuring high resistance (>1M ), it is normal to take several seconds to
obtain a stable reading. In order to obtain stable reading, choose shorter
test lead to carrying out measurement. l The LCD displays OL indicating open-
circuit for the tested resistor or the resistor value is higher than the
maximum range of the Meter.
l When resistance measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test, and remove the testing leads away from the input terminals of the Meter.
21
D. Testing for Continuity (See figure 6)
Warning To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before testing for continuity. To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to input voltages higher than 60V DC or 30V AC.
