Operation instructions

1. ACV/DCV/Frequency measurement

• To select ACV/DCV or Frequency
• Insert a red meter pen into the red jack (positive terminal), a black meter pen into the blackjack (COM terminal)
• Touch the test piece by a red and black meter pen, for example, the power socket (Figure 3).
• Read measurement value from LCD screen.

**** When measuring voltage, the maximum input voltage is 600V (AC/DC), do not exceed this limitation, otherwise, it may cause electric shock or damage to the meter.

2. Resistance/circuit on-off/diode/capacitance

• Insert red meter pen into the red jack (positive terminal), the black meter pen into the blackjack (COM terminal)
• Connect meter pen in parallel to test piece for measurement (Figure 4)
• Read measurement value from LCD screen.

**** When measuring resistance/on-off/capacitance/diode range, do not input voltage over DC 60V or AC 30V to avoid injury to humans.

3. AC/DC current measurement (Figure 5, Figure 6)

1. AC
   • Select AC range (2A 20A, 100A )
   • Open the clamp head, hook the electric wire (single wire), place the electric wire on the geometric center indicated by the clamp head, and make sure the left and right clamp heads are totally closed. There is no gap between the left and right clamp heads.
   • Read measurement data from LCD.

2. DC
   • Press the SELECT key to enter the DC range (2A=, 20A=, 100A=)
   • Press the ZERO key before measurement to make readings zero. If it does not return to zero after one press, then press it several times until the reading is zero. Note: as the product is highly sensitive, to ensure correct measurement data, the direction of the meter during measurement should be the same as when it is in zero as much as possible.
   • Open clamp head, hook the electric wire (single wire), place the electric wire on the geometric center indicated by the clamp head, and make sure the left and right clamp heads are totally closed. There is no gap between the left and right clamp heads.
   • Read measurement data from LCD. When the reading is positive, it means the current flows from the positive end indicated by the clamp head to the negative end. Negative reading is the opposite.
   **** When measuring current, unplug the test pen to avoid electric shock.
   

3. NCV noncontact electric field measurement (Figure 7) If you want to measure whether there is AC voltage or electromagnetic field, place the front end of the clamp head 8-15mm close to the test piece, the analog quantity of inductive AC voltage is about Critical voltage 100V, display “EF”, > critical voltage 100V, display “2, it has four “—-” levels based on voltage size with different buzzing at each level, with NCV light flashing to discriminate electric field intensity.
   **** When ranges switch NCV measurement, please unplug the test pen to avoid electric shock.
   

4. Other functions
   • Long press HOLD key for 2s to turn on or turn off LCD backlight function.
   • Automatic power-off: when measuring, if the rotary button has not been pulled out in 15 minutes, the instrument will automatically power off to save energy. In automatic power-off mode, turn the rotary button to OFF and restart the machine, or click any key to wake the instrument.
   • Turn off the automatic power-off function: press and hold the SELECT key, then power-on start, you will hear 5 buzzing which means the automatic power- off function is canceled. Turn off and restart the machine, and the automatic power-off function will be recovered.
   • The buzzer will send out 5 warnings 1 minute before automatic power off. A long buzz will be heard before power off. When the automatic power-off function is canceled, you will hear 5 continuous warnings every 15 minutes.
   • Buzzer: press any key or rotate the function switch, if such function key is valid, the buzzer will “beep” once (lasting approx. 0.25s). In gear, when the circuit-under-test is conductive (=10 S2 ), the buzzer makes a sound continuously. When measuring voltage or current outrange, the buzzer will “Beep” to warn outrange, function status is as below: a)When AC, DC voltage>600V, buzzer beeps b) 100A AC and DC gear: current >maximum range, buzzer beeps.
   • Low-voltage detects: when battery voltage is lower than 2.5V, battery under- voltage symbol 47 appears, measurement accuracy may be lower once this symbol shows, replace battery timely; if it is lower than 2.2V, only battery under- voltage symbol shows after starting up, it can’t work.
   • When battery supply voltage lowers to 2.6V, the LCD backlight will be in a weak or non-start state; but measurement functions still work.
