Safety notes

  • Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function
  • Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.
  • Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use

Warnings

  • Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring
  • When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes
  • When changing ranges using the selector switch always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test
  • Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits

Cautions

  • Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand this user manual before operating the meter
  • Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery
  • Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use
  • Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25 VAC rms or 35 VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.
  • Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for long periods
  • Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests
  • 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”
  • If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired

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

  1. Set the rotary function switch to the Ω ****•))) CAP position
  2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack
  3. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack
  4. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested
  5. Read the capacitance value in the display

4.6 Frequency/duty cycle measurements

  1. Set the rotary function switch to “V” position
  2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive jack
  3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test
  4. Read the frequency on the display

4.7 Temperature measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any source of voltage before making a temperature measurement.

  1. Set the function switch to TEMP position
  2. Insert the temperature probe into the negative COM and the Positive Jacks, making sure to observe the correct polarity
  3. Touch the temperature probe head to the part which temperature you wish to measure. Keep the probe touching the part under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds).
  4. Read the temperature in the display

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been removed before changing to another measurement function

4.8 Non-Contact AC voltage measurements

  1. Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side of the electrical outlet
  2. If AC voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate

NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For best results, rub the probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live conductor.
NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation
