Measurement Methods

AC & DC voltage measurement

1. During measurement of DC voltage, turn the knob switch to V= gear; during measurement of AC voltage, tum the knob switch to V~ gear.
2. Parallelly connect the pens to the circuit or power supply to be measured, and measure the voltage.
3. Read measurement results from the display. When measuring DC voltage, the display will display the voltage polarity of the test point of the red pen.

Warning!

• Do not input a voltage higher than 600V, although it is possible to display a higher voltage, there’s a risk of damaging the instrument
• During measurement of high voltage, be careful to avoid electric shock.

Frequency/duty ratio measurement

• Rotate the knob switch to Hz% gear.
• Parallelly connect the pens to the circuit or power supply to be measured, and measure the frequency or duty ratio.
• Press ‘HZ/%” key to switch frequency/duty ratio display.
• Read measurement results from the display.

Warning!

• During measurement of high voltage, be careful, to avoid electric shock.
• After all measurements are completed, it is required to disconnect the pens from the circuit measured.

Capacitance measurement

1. Rotate the knob switch to the capacitance ·U gear.
2. Parallel connect the pens to the capacitance to be measured and measure the capacitance.
3. Read measurement results from the display.

Warning!

• In order to prevent possible electric shoclc, fire or human injury, before measurement, disconnect the power supply of the circuit to be measured, and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.
• After all measurements are completed, it is required to disconnect the pens from the circuit measured.

Resistance measurement

1. Rotate the knob switch to the resistance O+t-•11} gear. Press the “SEL’ key to shift to the resistance mea5Urement function.
2. Parallelly connect the pens to the circuit or resistance to be measured, and measure the resistance.
3. Read the mea5Urement result from the display.

Warning!

• In order to prevent possible electric shoe le, fire or human injury, before measurement,. disconnect the power supply of the circuit to be mea5Ured, and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.
• After all measurements are completed, it is required to disconnect the pens from the circuit measured.

Diode

• Rotate the knob switch to the C-M-◄ gear, and press the “SEL’ key to shift to the diode function.
• Connect the red pen to the positive pole of the diode to be mea5Ured, and connect the black pen to the negative pole of the diode to be measured, the reading on the display is an approximate value of forward voltage drop of the diode.

Warning!

• In order to prevent possible electric shock, fire or human injury, before measurement, disconnect the power supply of the circuit to be measured, and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.
• If the diode measured is open-circuited or with reversed polarity, the instrument will display overload.
• After all measurements are completed, it is required to disconnect the pens from the circuit measured.

On-off test

• Rotate the knob switch to the O+t-•11} gear, and press the “SEL’ key to shift to the on-off function.
• When the pens are parallelly connecte<l to both ends of the circuit or resistance to be measured, if the resistance between both ends of the circuit measured is below 500, the buzzer inside the instrument would sound, the LED light turns on, and the resistance at both ends of the circuit measured is shown on the display.

Warning!

• In order to prevent possible electric shock. fire or human injury, before measurement, disconnect the power supply of the circuit to be measured and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.
• After all measurements are completed, it is required to disconnect the pens from the circuit measured.
