HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This instrument complies with IEC1010 (International Electrotechnical Commission promulgated safety standards). Design and production with an over- voltage category (CAT III) 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
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
3. Do not use an unapproved fuse to replace the fuse inside the 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 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
6. Do not store or use in high temperature, high humidity, flammable, explosive and strong magnetic field
7. Measurements exceeding the limit values of the instrument may damage the instrument and endanger the safety of the
8. Do not attempt to calibrate or service the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: DO NOT USE ON VOLTAGES ABOVE 600V.

DC VOLTAGE
1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to VCtmA probe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to the desired V— range position.

Note:
A) When the measurement is unknown always, set the highest position.

AC VOLTAGE

1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to V0mA probe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to the desired V- position.

Note:
A) When the measurement is unknown always, set the highest position.

DC CURRENT

1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to the VCtmA probe socket for a maximum 200mA current, for a maximum 10A current, move the red lead to the 10A probe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to the desired range position.

RESISTANCE (CI)

1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to VCtmA probe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to the desired Ct range position.

Note:

• A) When measuring resistance above 1MCt, the reading may take a few seconds to become stable.
• B) When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit, the figure ’1’ will be displayed.
• C) When checking in-circuit resistance, be sure the circuit under test is switched off and that all capacitors have been discharged fully.
• E) When the measurement is uknown always set the measurement function range switch to the highest position.

TEMPERATURE (41818 ONLY)

1. Connect the black temperature probe lead to COM probe socket and the red to VCtmA probe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to the desired °C position.

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.

DIODE TEST

1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to VCtmA probe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to position.

Note:
A) The meter will show approximate forward voltage drop of the diode.

CONTINUITY TESTING

1. Connect the black test lead to COM probe socket and the red to VCmA probe socket.
2. Set the measurement function range switch to the position.

Note:
If the circuit is open, figure ‘1’ will be displayed.
