SAFETY

1.1. lnternational Safety Symbols
This symbol, adjacent to another symbol or terminal, indicates the user must refer to the manual for further information.
This symbol, adjacent to a terminal, indicates that, under normal use, hazardous voltages may be present.
Double insulation.
1.2. Safety Notes

• Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function.
• Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.
• Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use.

1.3. Warnings

• Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.
• When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.
• When changing ranges always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.

1.4. Cautions

• Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual before operating the meter.
• Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery.
• Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.
• Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC RMS or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.
• Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for long periods.
• Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
• Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not “live”.
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

OPERATION

NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.
5.1. AC/DC Current Measurements
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making current clamp measurements.

1. Set the Function switch to the 600A AC/DC, 60A AC/DC range.
2. Press MODE to switch the AC/DC measurement.
3. If the range of the measured is not known, select the higher range first then move to the lower range if necessary.
4. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose one conductor to be measured. The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.

5.2. AC/DC Voltage Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the ACV or DCV position.
3. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.
4. Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.

5.3. Resistance Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive V/Ω terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the position.
3. Press the MODE button until “Ω” appears in the display.
4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test. It is best to disconnect one side of the device under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.
5. Read the resistance measurement on the LCD display.

5.4. Diode, Continuity and Capacitance Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive diode jack.
2. Set the function switch to the  position.
3. Press the MODE button until ” ” appears in the display.
4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V. Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0mV and an open device will indicate “OL” in both polarities.

For Continuity tests, if the resistance is <50Ω, a tone will sound.
5.5. Capacitance Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.

1. Set the rotary function switch to the CAP position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
   Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.

3. Press the MODE button select capacitance measurement

4. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested.

5. Read the capacitance value on the display

5.6. Frequency or % Duty Cycle Measurements

1. Set the rotary function switch to the “AC,Hz%” position.
2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack.
3. Select Hz or % duty with the Hz/% button.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
5. Read the frequency on the display.

5.7. K-Temperature Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any source of voltage before making a temperature measurement.

1. Set the function switch to K-TEMP.
2. Insert the Temperature Probe into the negative (COM) and the V jacks, 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.
5.8. IR-Temperature Measurements

1. Set the function switch to IR.
2. Aim the meter at the object being measured, the reading will display on the LCD.
3. Press “REL/Laser” button to turn the laser on/off.
4. Press “MAX/MIN” button to select MAX/MIN. Hold down to exit.
5. Press “HOLD”, to freeze/unfreeze the data on the display.

5.9. Non-Contact AC Voltage Measurements
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a known live circuit to verify proper operation

1. Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side of the electrical outlet.
2. If AC voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.

NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, rub the probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live conductor.
NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation.
5.10. Mode/VFD Button
To select AC/DC A, Diode/Continuity/CAP,VAC/Hz/%, °C/ °F, In ACV mode, hold down the mode key to enter VFD measurement mode and display VFD. In VFD mode, low-pass filter can reduce the high-frequency noise when measuring AC voltage. VFD mode is mainly used for AC voltage measurement of variable frequency drive and frequency converter.
5.11. Data Hold/Flashlight Button
To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the data hold button. The data hold button is located on the right side of the meter (top button). While data hold is active, the HOLD display icon appears on the LCD. Press the data hold button again to return to normal operation. Hold down this button to turn the flashlight ON/OFF.
5.12. INRUSH/BLUETOOTH Button
In the AC current measurement mode, place a single power cord of the motor in the center of the clamp, and press the “inrush/Bluetooth” key to display “-“. When the power is turned on, the surge current generated when the motor is started can be measured and displayed on the LCD screen. Press to exit the function. On a Smart Phone, the INRUSH/BLUETOOTH button can be opened in any mode, and the Bluetooth connection mode will be opened. The data of the corresponding function can be acquired through the APP connection of mobile phone. (Meterbox Pro)
5.13. REL/ Button
Press REL key to enter the relative value measurement mode, take the current value as the reference and obtain the relative value. Hold down this key to turn on the laser in IR-temp measurement mode, and then press this key to turn off the laser.
