Measurement Instruction

Check the built-in A 1.5V×2 battery, display will show the symbol ” when lack of power, and then replace battery in time. It is required to pay attention to the symbol ” beside the test pen socket, which reminds one of the fact that in case of measurement safety, testing voltage or current shall not exceed the specified value

AC and DC Voltage Measurement

1.  Connect the instrument with the load in parallel for measurement.
2.  When the input impedance of the instrument is about 10M , the load may cause measurement error in the circuit with high impedance. In most cases, the error can be neglected (0.1% or lower) if the circuit impedance is under 10k

Notes:

• It is forbidden to input voltage higher than 600Vrms, despite of the possibility of measuring higher voltage, as it may damage the instrument.
•  It is required to avoid the electric shock in measuring high voltage.

Resistance Measurement Connect the instrument with the load in parallel for measurement.

Notes:

• The display will show “OL” when the measured resistance open-circuit or resistance value exceeds the maximum range of the instrument.
•  Prior to measuring online resistance, it is necessary to switch off all powers in the circuits to be measured, and release all residual charges to ensure the measurement accuracy.
• In measuring low resistance, a measurement error in resistance of about 0.1 8 – 0.2 Q will be resulted by the test pen. In order to acquire accurate reading, it is required to short circuit the test pen, take REL relative measurement mode to ensure the measurement accuracy.
•  Check the test pen for any loosening or other reasons in case there is a resistance value no less than 0.50 when test pen is short circuited.
•  Several seconds may be required for the reading stability when measuring high resistance, which is normal for high resistance measurement.
•  By using the resistance measurement function, it is allowed to make self-checking of the built-in fuse,
• No input higher than DC 60V or AC 30V is allowed.

3. Circuit on-off measurement if the resistance of two terminals to be measured is bigger than 1509, there will be a circuit break and buzzer will make no sound; if the resistance is $100, the circuit is deemed with good conductivity and buzzer wall continuously sound.

Notes

• Prior to measuring online circuit on-oft, it is necessary to switch off all power supplies in the circuits to be measured and release all resicua charges to ensure the measurement accuracy.
• To prevent personal injury, it is not allowed to input the voltage higher than DO SOV @ACISIVA

Diode measurement OL” will be displayed when the diode to be measured is an open circuit or polarity is reversely connected. For Silicon PN junction, the normal value is normally 500

Notes

•  Prior to measring online diode. it is necessary to o switch off all power supples in the circults to be measured and release all residual charges to ensure the measurement accuracy.
• Test voltage for diode is about
•  To prevent personal injury, it is not allowed to input the voltage higher than DC 60V or AC 30V

Capacitance measurement

The instrument, when without any input, will display a fixed reading which is the internal fixed capacitance value. When measuring small range gear capacitance, the above value shall be subtracted from the value to be measured to ensure the accuracy. The relative measurement REL function can be used to automatically subtract the value to facilitate the measurement.

Notes

•  The display will show “OL” when the capacitor to be becomes short-circuited or the capacitance value exceeds the maximum range of the instrument.
•  Generally, several seconds will be taken to measure high-capacity capacitor.
•  To prevent damage to the instrument and personal injury, it is required before testing to release all residual charges. which is particularly important for capacitor with high voltage.

Frequency/Duty Ratio Measurement

 At the frequency measurement gear, press the button Hz/% to select frequency/duty ratio measurement mode.

Notes

•  To prevent personal injury, it is not allowed to input the voltage higher than DC 60V or AC 30V

Temperature measurement

Temperature sensor: it is only applicable for K (Ni-Cr and Ni- Si) thermocouple. After startup, “OL’ is displayed complete Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature measurement D connecting the product with K-type temperature sensor

Notes
The point type K (Ni-Cr and N- Si) thermocouple is only applicable for me measurement of temperature under 230 /446 .

AC and DC current measurement Connect the instrument with the load in serial for measurement. AC measurement value will be true RMS.

Notes

• Before connecting instrument in serial with the loop to be measured, switch off the power supply.
•  In measurement, it is required to use proper input terminal and function gear; if unable to estimate the current, the measurement should start with the high gear range.
• Fuses are provided inside the 10A, mA/ input jacks. It is forbidden to connect the table pen test pin in parallel with any circuit, especially the power supply terminal, which may cause damage to the instrument and personal injury. For security purposes, when measuring current higher than 5A, the time of each measurement should be controlled less than 10s and an interval of at least 15min should be maintained.
•  When measuring AC current online, it is allowed to press the button Hz/% to display online AC frequency duty ratio.
•  60A AC and DC current clamp measurement .

Connect as shown in the figure with the attached current clamp.

NCV Non-contact AC voltage sensing If need to detect whether there is a AC voltage or electromagnetic field, allow the front end of the instrument be close to the object to be sensed. The analog quantity of sensed AC voltage is about: “EF” is displayed when ,;;;critical voltage. “-” is displayed when G9103 >critical voltage, “- – – -” is designed according to the size of voltage Vd and accompanied by different buzzing sounds to mark the difference of sensed voltage.

Notes
Test pen is not required for measurement when the range knob switch is set at “NCV”.

Other functions:

• After 2s of full display following startup, enter the normal measurement mode. “ErrE” will be displayed in case of any fault to the internal EEPROM.
• Auto power-off: the instrument will be “automatically powered off’ to save energy in case of no operation to the knob switch within 15min. Under auto power-off statuts, any press on the any button will “automatically arouse” the instrument, or restart the instrument by turning the knob switch to OFF. Under power-off status, press on SELECT and power on, the buzzer will make five sounds to remind that the auto power-off function has been cancelled. Restarting the instrument after power-off will recover the auto power-off function.
• Buzzer: A “Beep” sound (about 0.25s) from buzzer means the function button is valid when pressing any button or turning the function button. When measuring voltage or current: AC and DC voltage > about 600V mA gear AC/DC current 590mA When A gear AC/DC current is > 1 OA, buzzer will make continuous sounds to remain the over-range. In addition, the buzzer make make 5 continuous sounds about 1 min prior to auto power-off and then make one long sound prior to power-off. When the auto power-off function is cancelled, 5 sounds will be made by the buzzer every 15min.
•  Low-voltage detection: it is used to detect the internal VDD. When the voltage is lower than 2.4V, the battery under-voltage symbol “” will be displayed, and the normal operation is available; while when lower than 2.2V, no operation is allowed and only the symbol is displayed after startup.
• When the battery supply voltage is reduced to 2.6V, the LCD backlight is weak or can not start; measurement functions can still be used normally.
