Instruction

1. Insertion of batteries
   
   

2. Attaching the test prods
   To avoid the risk of injury, the test prods must always be kept in the holder at the rear of the device with the protective caps fitted when not in use and during transportation.

3. Connection of test prods
   The black test prod (–) must always be connected to the “COM socket”. When taking current measurements, the red test prod (+) must be connected to the input socket (4) on the left. For all other measuring functions, the red test prod must be connected to the input socket (2) on the right.
   Please ensure that the test prods are connected correctly before each measurement. Taking a voltage measurement with 10 A current connectors plugged in or in the mA range can cause the built in fuse to trip and damage the measuring circuit.
   

4. Current measurement DC/AC
   To take a current measurement, turn the rotary switch to position “μA”, „mA“ or “10 A” and press the “Mode” button to set the type of voltage (AC, DC). Ensure that the test prods are connected correctly.
   μA / mA = red input socket on right (+) (2)
   10A = red 10A input socket (+) (4)
   Disconnect the circuit before connecting the meter. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested.
   The measured value acquired and the polarity appear on the display.
   Disconnect the circuit again before disconnecting the meter
   
   Do not measure currents in the 10 A for longer than ! 30 seconds. This could damage the device or the test prods.

5. Voltage measurement AC
   
   To measure the AC voltage turn the rotary switch to position “V~”. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. The measured value acquired and the polarity appear on the display.

6. Frequency and duty factor measurements
   
   To measure the frequency turn the rotary switch to position “Hz” / “%” and press the „Mode“ button once to activate the “frequency measurement” function. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. Press the “Mode” button to switch from Hz to % (duty factor).

7. Voltage measurement DC
   
   To measure the DC voltage turn the rotary switch to position “V–…”. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. The measured value acquired and the polarity appear on the display.

8. Resistance measurement
   
   To measure the resistance, turn the rotary switch to position “Ω”. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. The measured value acquired appears on the display. If “O.L.” appears on the display instead of a measured value, either the  measuring range has been exceeded or the measuring circuit is not closed or has been interrupted. Resistances can only be measured correctly in isolation; therefore, the components might need to be disconnected from the remainder of the circuit.
   When measuring resistance, to avoid the risk of the results of a measurement being distorted, there must be no traces of dirt, oil, solder spray or other contamination on the test prods.

9. Continuity test
   
   To check the continuity turn the rotary switch to position “Ω” and press the “Mode” switch once to activate the „continuity check“ function. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. A measured value of < 50 ohms is recognized as continuity; this is confirmed by an audible signal. If “O.L.” appears on the display instead of a measured value, either the measuring range has been exceeded or the measuring circuit is not closed or has been interrupted.

10. Diode test
    
    Forward direction
    To test the diodes turn the rotary switch to position “Ω” and press the “Mode” button twice to activate the “diode test” function. Then connect the measuring contacts to the diode. The measured value acquired for the forward voltage appears on the display. If “O.L.” appears on the display instead of a measured value, the diode has either been tested in the reverse direction or is faulty. If 0.0 V is measured, the diode is faulty or a short-circuit has occurred.

11. Capacitance measurement
    
    To take a capacitance measurement, turn the rotary switch to position “CAP” and press the “Mode” button three times to activate the “Capacitance measurement“ function. Then connect the measuring contacts to the object to be tested. In the case of poled capacitors, connect the positive pole to the red test prod.
