SAFETY

When using this multimeter, please observe all normal safety rules concerning:

• Protection against the dangers of electrical current.
• Protection of the meter against misuse.
• Full compliance with safety standards can only be guaranteed if used with the test leads supplied. If necessary, they must be replaced with genuine Sealey leads with the same electrical ratings. Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.

DO NOT use leads if damaged or if the wires are bared in any way.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the multimeter as well as the potential hazards.

IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with high voltages.

• When the meter is connected to a circuit, do not touch unused meter terminals.
• When the magnitude of the value to be measured is unknown, set the range selector to the highest value available.
• Before commencing testing, follow instructions below and select the correct input sockets, function and range on the multimeter.
• Before rotating the rotary switch to change functions, disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
• Take care when working with voltages above 35V DC or 25V AC rms. These voltages are considered a shock hazard. Keep fingers behind the probe barriers whilst measuring.

DO NOT test voltages above 750V AC – 1000V DC – the circuitry of the multimeter may be destroyed.

WARNING! NEVER connect the multimeter to a voltage source / live circuit when the rotary switch is set to any other function apart from Voltage testing.

WARNING! NEVER perform resistance, transistor, diode or continuity measurements on live circuits.

• ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making resistance or diode tests.

WARNING! Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not “live”.

DO NOT use the multimeter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

NEVER operate the meter unless the back cover and the battery and fuse doors are in place and fastened securely.

• If any abnormal readings are observed, the multimeter must be checked out by an authorised technician.
• When not in use, store the multimeter carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location out of direct sunlight.
• Storage temperature range -20°C to 60°C.
• ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads before opening the doors to replace the fuse or batteries.
• The user shall ensure that test probes are correctly selected in order to prevent danger. Probes shall be selected to ensure that adequate barriers guard against inadvertent hand contact with live conductors under test and that probes have minimal exposed probe tips. Where there is a risk of the probe tip short circuiting with other live conductors under test, it is recommended that the exposed tip length shall not exceed 4mm.
  The warnings, cautions and instructions referred to in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be applied by the operator.

OPERATION

WARNING! Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care.
DO NOT measure voltages that might exceed 500 V above earth ground.
ALWAYS turn the function switch to the “OFF” position when the meter is not in use.
NOTE! On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not connected to a device, the display may show a random reading. This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity. The reading will stabilise and give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: DO NOT measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

Set the function switch to the highest VDC position.

Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.

Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch to successively lower VDC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading.
The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING! Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets.
As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.

CAUTION: DO NOT measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

Set the function switch to the highest VAC position.

Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack. Insert red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.

Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch to successively lower VAC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading.

DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: DO NOT make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads.

Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.

For current measurements up to 200mA DC, set the function switch to the highest DC mA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (mA) jack.

For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to the 10A range and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (10A) jack.

Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point where you wish to measure current.

Connect test leads in series with the circuit under measurement.

Apply power to the circuit.

Read the current in the display. For mA DC measurements, reset the function switch to successively lower mA DC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING! To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.

Set the function switch to the highest Ω position.

Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Ω jack.

Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test. It is best to disconnect one side of the component under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.

Read the resistance in the display and then set the function switch to the lowest Ω position that is greater than the actual or any anticipated resistance. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value
