Operation instructions

Normal operation
Press the “FUNC/HZ” button and enter into function selection mode. The reading hold mode can keep the current reading on the display, change the measurement function position or press and hold the key again to exit the data hold mode.

Backlight and the torch function
The meter has a backlight and illumination function for reading the
measuring results in any lighting condition. To enter and exit this mode, please see below:

1. Short press the key to turn on the backlight and short press again to exit. It turns off automatically in 15 seconds when not in use.
2. Long press the key to turn on the illumination function and the backlight at the same time. Short press the key again to turn off the illumination function. It turns off automatically in 30 seconds when not in use.

Auto power off
If the multi-meter is not in use for 15 minutes after the power is switched on, it will give a voice prompt and shut off automatically. The power is now in hibernation mode, touching any key will re-activate the multi-meter again.

AC Voltage and DC Voltage measurement
To prevent electric shock or damage to the instrument, do not measure any voltage greater than 600V and do not apply more than 600V voltage between the common and earth.

AC Voltage and DC Voltage measuring

1. Turn the switch to or press “FUNC-Hz” to choose  AC or DC.
2. Connect the black test leads to the COM jack and the red leads to the jack.
3. Measure the voltage value of the circuit under test with the other two ends of the test leads.
4. The reading will be shown on the LED display as well as the polarity of the end connected with the red lead.

Notes:
*The meter shows readings in range DC Voltage 600mV and 6V even if there is no input voltage or test leads connection. Then short circuit and “COM” to make the meter shows zero.

• Please change to a higher range if the “OL” is shown.
• Under range AC Voltage, short pressing the “FUNC-Hz” key can test the  frequency of the alternating current power. Please refer to the frequency measurement
• The AC voltage values measured with this instrument are all true RMS values (square root). For sine waves and other waveforms (without DC offset) such as square waves, triangular waves and staircase waves, these measurements are accurate

Resistance measurement
To avoid damage to the meter or device under test, all power to the circuit under test should be cut off before measuring resistance, and all high-voltage capacitors should be fully discharged.

Resistance measuring:

1. Rotate the rotary switch to and press “FUNC-Hz” to chooseΩ。
2. Connect the black test leads to the “COM” input socket and the red test leads to “ ” input socket
3. Use the test leads to test the resistance value of the circuit.
4. The resistance value shows on the display window.

Notes:

• The resistance value measured on the circuit is usually different from the rate resistance.
• To measure the low resistance accurately, please short-circuit the two test leads to read out the short-circuit resistance of the test leads and subtract it from the readings to get an accurate resistance value.
• At 60 Mohms range, the reading will stabilize after a few seconds, which is normal for high resistance measurements.
• When the meter is not in the circuit, the display will show “OL”, indicating that the measurement value is out of the measurement range.

Diode measurement
To avoid damage to the meter or device under test, all power to the circuit under test should be cut off before measuring diode, and all high-voltage capacitors should be fully discharged.

Test a diode outside the circuit.：

1. Rotate the rotary switch to and press “FUNC-Hz” to choose
2. Connect the black test leads to the “COM” input socket and the red test leads to input socket
3. Touch the diode anode with the red probe, the black probe contacts the diode cathode.
4. The meter will display the forward bias value of the diode under test. If the polarity is reversed, then it shows ‘OL’.
5. The normal diode in the circuit still produces a forward voltage drop of 0.5V to 0.8V, but the reverse bias reading will depend on the variety of the resistance value of the other channels between the two test leads.

Continuity test
To avoid damage to the meter or device under test, all power to the circuit under test should be cut off before measuring on-off of the circuit and all high-voltage capacitors should be fully discharged.
For on-off state of the circuit:

1. Rotate the rotary switch to and press “FUNC-Hz” to choose
2. Connect the black test leads to the “COM” input socket and the red test leads to “ ” input socket
3. Measure the resistance of the circuit under test at the other end of the test leads. If the resistance of the circuit under test is not greater than about 50 ohms, the indicator light will turn on and the buzzer will sound continuously.

Frequency measurement
Do not test any voltage higher than 250V to prevent electric shock or damage to the instrument.

Frequency measuring:

1. Turn the switch to HZ%.
2. Connect the black test leads to the COM jack and the red leads to the  jack.
3. Measure the frequency value of the circuit under test with the other two ends of the test leads.
4. Press the “FUNC-Hz” button to show the readings of the frequency.

Current measurement
Do not attempt current measurement on the circuit when the voltage between the open circuit voltage and ground exceeds 250 volts. If the  fuse is blown during measurement, you may damage the meter or harm yourself. To avoid damage to the meter or test equipment, use the correct input socket, function gear, and range before making measurements before making measurements. When the test leads is plugged into the current input socket, do not connect the other end of the test leads in parallel to any circuit.

Current measurement:

1. Rotate the rotary switch to or and press “FUNC-Hz” to choose AC/DC.
2. Connect the black test leads to the “COM” input socket. If the measured current is less than 600mA, connect the red test leads to the “mA” input socket. If the measured current is between 600mA~10A, connect the red test lead to the “10A” input jack.
3. The circuit to be tested is disconnected, the black test leads is connected to the disconnected circuit, the lower voltage end thereof, and the red test leads is connected to the disconnected circuit at the higher voltage end.
4. Connect the circuit’s power supply and then read the displayed reading. If the display shows only “OL”, this indicates that the input exceeds the selected range. The rotary switch should be placed at a higher range.
5. Long press the “FUNC-Hz” to show the frequency of the alternative signal in the ACA mode.

Capacitance measurement
To avoid damage to the meter or device under test, all power to the circuit under test should be cut off before measuring capacitance. All high-voltage capacitors should be fully discharged.

Capacitance measuring:

1. Turn the rotary switch to position.
2. Connect the black test leads to the “COM” input socket and the red test leads to input socket
3. Measure the capacitance value of the circuit under test with the other two ends of the test leads. The reading will be shown on the LED display screen.

Notes:

• It needs a certain time to measure the big capacitor.
• Take note of the polarities of the capacitor to connect correctly to protect the meter.

NCV test
Rotate the rotary switch to the NCV position and place the top of the meter close to the conductor. If the meter detects the AC voltage meter, light the corresponding signal strength indicator according to the detected signal strength（low-yellow, high-red）, and the buzzer will send out different frequency alarms.

Notes:

1. Even if there is no indication that the voltage may still exist, do not rely on non-contact voltage detectors to determine if there is a voltage detection operation on the conductor, which may be affected by factors such as socket depth, insulation thickness, type, etc.
2. When the input voltage is input to the instrument, due to sensing in the presence of voltage, the voltage-sensing indicator light may light.
3. Interference sources in the external environment, such as flashlights, motors, etc., may accidentally trigger non-contact voltage detection.

Temperature measurement

1. Switch the rotate to “℃（℉）”.
2. Switching ℃or ℉by “FUNC/Hz”button
3. Insert the thermocouple into the instrument, the positive red is inserted into the input , and the negative black is inserted into the “COM” input.
