Operation

Data Hold
If you need data hold when measuring, you can put on “HOLD” button, it will hold the reading; if you put the button again, data hold is not continue.

Maximum value measuring and Hold (MAX HOLD)
At the range of voltage, you can put on “MAX” button, it will hold the maximum value; if you put the button again, the maximum value will not be held.

Function Transform (FUNC)
Put down the “FUNC” button when measuring the voltage. Meter will be transformed between DC and AC range. Put FUNC button when measuring the resistance, diode and continuity, meter will transform among them.

Range Transform
The auto range is used when measuring the voltage and resistance. Put down the “RAN” button if the manual range is needed. Each time you put down, range will go upward; the minimum range is transformed if “RAN” button is put down at the maximum range. If the “RAN” button is put down more than two seconds, auto range is used again.

Voltage measurements

WARNING! Do not try to measure a voltage greater than 600 V DC/AC. You might damage your meter and expose yourself to a severe shock hazard.

1. Connect the black test lead to COM jack.
2. Set the function switch at V range to be used and connect test leads across the source or load under measurement.
3. Read LCD display. The polarity of probe tip connection will be indicated when making a DC measurement.

Current measurements

WARNING! Do not apply voltage directly across the terminals. You must connect the meter in series with the circuit.

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack.
2. Set the function switch at mA range to be used and push FUNC-button to select DC or AC measuring mode.
3. Connect test leads in series with the load in which the current is to be measured.
4. Read LCD display. The polarity of red lead connection will be indicated when making a DC measurement.

Resistance Measurements

WARNING! Be sure that the circuit under test has all power removed and that any associated capacitors are fully discharged before you make a resistance measurement.

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. (Note: The polarity of the probe tip connection is positive “+”).
2. Set the function-switch at Ω-range to be used and connect test leads across the resistance under measurement.

Note:

• For resistance above 2 MΩ, the meter may take a few seconds to stabilise reading. This is normal for high resistance measuring.
• When the input is not connected, i. e. at open circuit or
  the value is greater than 20 MΩ, the figure “OL” will be displayed for the over range condition.

Checking Diodes

This function lets you check diodes and other semiconductors for opens and shorts. It also lets you determine the forward voltage for diodes. You can use this function, when you need to match diode.

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM-jack.
2. Set the function switch to Ω-position and press FUNC-button to set DIODE
3. Connect the test leads across the diode (probe tip is the positive pole of the diode)
4. Read the forward voltage on LCD

NOTE:

• If you check a diode’s forward voltage, you will measure voltage of approx. 0.3 V (Germanium) or 0.7 V (Silicon) if the diode wasn’t damaged.
• If “OL” is displayed, it means that the diode is open or above 2.0 V forward voltage. However, if the display shows a value between 0 V and approx 2.0 V, it means a forward drop voltage.
• The instrument supplies enough forward to light most LED’s. However, if the LED’s forward voltage is greater than 2.0 V, the instrument incorrectly indicates, that the device is open.

Continuity test

CAUTION! Never perform a continuity measurement on a circuit that has power connected!

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. ( Note : The polarity of the probe tip connection is positive “+”).
2. Set the function switch to Ω-position and push the “FUNC” button to select continuity or diode test mode.
3. In continuity testing if continuity exists (i. e. resistance less than about 50 Ω) built-in buzzer will sound.

Logic Test

WARNING!
Risk of Electrocution. You can’t input a voltage which is higher than 250 V ACrms, it may damage the inner circuit or cause electrical shock. Pay attention to avoid getting and electric shock when testing logic level.

1. Rotate the probe socket anti-clockwise to spin the probe into the meter
2. Insert the black test clip in the COM jack
3. Set the transform switch at the LOGIC range position
4. Connect the black test clip to the GND (-) of the circuits being measured
5. Keep pressing the “FUNC” button and Touch the tip to the testing object in the circuits being measured. And observe the logic state indicated by LED light. (Red LED light expresses high level/logic “1” and green LED light expresses low level/logic “0”)

NOTE:

• If the input open circuit (or the object’s logic state is lower than 1.5 V), the green LED will be lighted.
• You must keep pressing the “FUNC” button during the logic testing.

Maintenance

Battery replacement
