will be indicated along with the DC voltage value.
Note:
a) If the voltage range is not known beforehand, set the selector switch to high
range and work down.
b) When “1” or “-1” is display, over-range is being indicated and the selector
switch must be set to a higher range.
c) Don’t apply more than 500V DC or AC rms to the input, indication is possible
at higher voltage but there is danger of damaging the internal circuit.
d) Use extreme caution to avoid contact with high tension circuits when
measuring high voltage.
3.2 AC Voltage Measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to the "COM" socket and red test lead to the
"VΩmA" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired “V” position.
3) Measure the voltage by touch the test lead tips to the test circuit where the
value of voltage is needed.
4) Read the result from the LCD panel.
Note: See DC voltage measurement note a)~d).
3.3 DC Current Measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket. For measurement up to 200mA,
connect the red test lead to the "VΩmA" socket; for measurement from
200mA to 10A, connect the red test lead to the "10A" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired “A” position.
3) Remove power from the circuit under test and open the normal circuit path
where the measurement is to be taken. Connect the meter in series with
the circuit.
4) Read the result from the LCD panel. The polarity of the red lead connection
will be indicated along with the DC current value.
Note:
a) If the current range is not known beforehand, set the selector switch to high
range and work down.
b) When “1” or “-1” is display, over-range is being indicated and the selector
switch must be set to a higher range.
c) The maximum input current is 500mA and 10A depending upon the jack
used. The F0.5A/500V fuse protect the current measuring circuits that
measure up to 200mA, the F10A/500V fuse protect the current measuring
circuits that measure from 200mA to 10A. The maximum time of the 10A
range measurement each is 15 seconds.
3.4 Resistance Measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to the "COM" socket and red test lead to the
"VΩmA" socket.
