WARNING

• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this product around explosive gas or in damp locations.

• Verify the Meter operation by measuring a known voltage.

• If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.

• Do not use the Tester if the Tester is not operating properly or if it is wet.

• Individual protective device must be used if hazardous live parts in the installation where the measurement is to be carried out could be accessible.

• Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc.

• These voltages pose a shock hazard.

• DO NOT USE the test leads when the internal white insulation layer is exposed

• DO NOT USE the test leads above maximum ratings of CAT. environment, voltage and current, that are indicated on the probe and the probe tip guard cap.

• DO NOT USE the test leads without the probe tip guard cap in CAT III and CAT IV environments.

• Probe assemblies to be used for MAINS measurements shall be RATED as appropriate for MEASUREMENT CATEGORY III or IV according to IEC 61010
  – 031 and shall have a voltage RATING of at least the voltage of the circuit to be measured.

• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity.

Maintenance

Do not attempt to repair this Meter. It contains no user serviceable parts. Repair or servicing should only be performed by qualified personnel.

CAUTION

• When connecting the test leads to the DUT (Device Under Test) connect the common test leads before connecting the live test leads ; when removing the test leads, remove the live test leads before removing the common test leads.
• Make sure that the buzzer sound is perceptible before using it under high background noise environment.

Voltage / Continuity / Single Pole Mode

Voltage Measurement

LED indicates measured voltage is high than ELV limit (50VAC and/or 120VDC).

Warning

• When batteries are not fitted or are exhausted, the tester still work when measuring> 45VAC and/or > 35VDC.

• Timing Rating (tr):
  30 seconds, Recovery Time (rt): 240seconds, when measuring >300V, recovery time is necessary.

• L/R LED may light up when measuring AC voltage.

• Due to the high internal resistance, capacitive and inductive Voltage (ghost voltage) may be indicated.

Phase Rotation Test

• Clockwise Phase Sequence L1-L2-L3(Right)
• Counterclockwise Phase Sequence L1-L3-L2(Left)

Phase Rotation Test works only on 3 phase 4 wire system. The result is unreliable on other systems.
It is necessary to check the result by test with reverse sequence.

Single Pole Phase Check

Warning

• Single Pole Check is available for both test leads. Remove one of test leads before performing check.
• Do not check if voltage appears by Single Pole Phase Check. Measure voltage with two pole to get a reliable result.

Ampere Mode

Warning

• The barrier on the body is indicating the limit of safe access of the hand-held part, do not hold over the barrier when in normal use.
• Do not assemble test lead at the back of the meter while measuring current.

Battery Replacement

Warning

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace the battery as soon as low battery indicator
• Remove test lead from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter case.

Probe Usage

Warning When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

Warning

• For CAT III or CAT IV environments, use the test leads with the probe tip guard cap fixed firmly. Without the probe tip guard cap, the test leads can be used in CAT II environment ONLY.
• Make sure test leads are firmly connected to instrument and other accessories.

Test lead assembly

Warning Do not assemble test lead at the back of the meter while measuring current.

SAFETY ADVICE

Depending on the internal impedance of this meter there will be a different capability of indicating the presence or absence of operating voltage in case of the presence of interference voltage.
When in contact with the parts to be tested, this meter may discharge temporarily the interference voltage to a level below the ELV, but it will be back to the original value when this meter is removed.
When the indication “voltage present” does not appear, it is highly recommended installing earthing equipment before work.
When the indication “voltage present” appears on a part that is expected to be disconnected of the installation, it is highly recommended confirming by another means (e.g. use of an adequate voltage detector, visual check of the disconnecting point of the electric circuit, etc.) that there is no operating voltage on the part to be tested and to conclude that the
voltage indicated by this meter is an interference voltage.
