Making a Measurement

Auto-Function
The tester is designed to auto range at all times. With Auto Ranging, the tool will automatically select the range with the best resolution The Tester automatically switches from Voltage AC/ DC measurement to Continuity when no voltage is present. The tool will automatically identify VAC from VDC and will indicate which on the display.

Hazard Voltage Warning
If measured voltage is over AC/DC 35 V, the Indicator LED will be lit RED and the buzzer will sound with steady, intermittent beeps (B_B_B).

Over-Range Indication
If measured voltage exceeds the measuring range (over approximately 600V), the and Indicator LEDs flash rapidly, alternating RED and YELLOW. The buzzer will sound with bursts of three repeating beeps (BBB_BBB_BBB).

Auto Off Function
The tester is automatically powered off in about 10 minutes after Power-ON is pressed, preceded by two beeps. To continue use, press the PowerON again after shut-off. If the display is still blank, replace the batteries. DANGER To avoid electrical shock: Never make measurement on a circuit in which voltage over 600V AC/DC exists. Do not use with the Battery Cover removed. Keep fingers behind the guards and away from test lead tips during measurements.

AC/DC Voltage
The Electrical Tester automatically identifies AC or DC sources and indicates the type of voltage on the LCD screen using AC or DC .

Set the Slide Switch to position (Cat. No. 2213-20 only).
Connect the red test lead to the VΩ terminal and the black test lead to the COM terminal.
Connect the test leads to the circuit under test.
If voltage is present, the measurement will be displayed on the screen. If measured voltage is over AC/DC 35 V, the Indicator LED will be lit RED and the buzzer will sound with steady, intermittent beeps (B_B_B).

NOTE: When DC voltage is displayed, a reversed connection (red test lead to the negative (-) side and black test leads to the positive (+) side ofB the circuit) is indicated as a negative value.

CAUTION Readings may fluctuate or be influenced in noisy environment.

DANGER To reduce the risk of electric shock for Continuity or Resistance measurements, never use the Tester on an energized circuit. Make sure a capacitor is fully discharged before touching or attempting to make a measurement. Do not use with the Battery Cover removed.

Continuity
If voltage is not present, the tester will automatically switch to continuity test mode and provide test results indicating whether continuity is present or not.

Set the Slide Switch to position (Cat. No. 2213-20 only).
Connect the red test lead to the VΩ terminal and the black test lead to the COM terminal. Short-circuit the tips of test leads to make the indication zero. A buzzer will sound.
Connect the test leads to both end of the conductor under test. If the resistance under test is 20 kΩ or less, the Indicator LED will be lit YELLOW and buzzer will sound with a continuous beep.

CAUTION After shorting the test leads, the displayed value may not be zero due to the resistance of test leads themselves.

Resistance (Cat. No. 2213-20 only)

Set the Slide Switch to position.
Connect the red test lead to the VΩ terminal and the black test lead to the COM terminal. Confirm “OL” is indicated on the display, and then short-circuit the tips of test leads to make the indication zero.
