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.

•Remove the battery if meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.

WARNINGS

•Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.

•When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.

•Do not measure current on a circuit whose voltage exceeds 240V.

•When changing ranges always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.

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 or fuses.

•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 25VAC

rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

•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.

Operation

Notice: Read and understand all WARNING and CAUTION statements listed in the

safety section of this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select

switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.

DC/AC Current Measurements

Warning: Disconnect the test leads from the meter before making

current clamp measurements.

1. Set the Function switch to the 80ADC, 4ADC, 80AAC or 4AAC

range. If the range of the measured is not known, select the

higher range first then move to the lower range if necessary.

2. For DC current measurement, press the ZERO key to null the

meter display.

3. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose one conductor to

be measured.

4. The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.

DC/AC Voltage Measurements

1. Set the rotary function switch to the Vposition.

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

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V/Ω/Hz) jack

3. Select AC or DC with the MODE button

4. Connect the test leads to the circuit under test

5. Read the voltage on the display. The display will indicate the proper

decimal point and value.

Resistance Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

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

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩHz)jack.

3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It is best to

disconnect one side of the part under test so the rest of the circuit will not

interfere with the resistance reading.

4. Read the resistance on the display. The display will indicate the proper

decimal point and value.

Continuity Check

1. Set the function switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

2. Push the mode button to indicate •))) on the display.

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

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩ Hz) jack.

4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to check.

5. If the resistance is less than approximately 150Ω, the audible signal will

sound. If the circuit is open, the display will indicate “OL.”.

Diode Test

1. Turn the rotary switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

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

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩ Hz)jack.

3. Push the mode button to indicate on the display.

4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Typically for a normal diode,

forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V. Reverse voltage will indicate

“OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0V and an open device will indicate

“OL” in both polarities.

Capacitance Measurements

Warning: To avoid electrical 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 function switch to the Ω•))) CAP position.

2. Push the mode button to indicate nF on the display.

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

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩHz) jack.

4. Press the ZERO key to null the meter display.

5. Touch the test probe tips to the capacitor you wish to check.

6. Read the capacitance value on the display.

Frequency or % Duty Cycle Measurements

1. Turn the rotary switch to the Hz % position.

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

red test lead banana plug into the positive (VΩ Hz ) jack.

3. Select Hz or % with the HZ/% button.

4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.

5. Read the frequency on the display.

Analog Signal Output

1. Turn the rotary switch to the DCA or ACA ranges.

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

banana plug into the positive (VΩ Hz)jack.

3. Connect the test leads to a multimeter, oscilloscope or chart recorder inputs.

4. Press the trigger to open the jaw. Fully enclose the conductor to be measured.

5. The analog voltage signal is output to the measuring device.

Note: When measuring DCA, the output signal is DCV. When measuring ACA, the output

signal is both ACV and DCV.

Auto/Manual Ranging

The meter turns on in Autoranging mode. Press the RANGE button to enter manual

ranging. Each press of the range button will step to the next range as indicated by the units

and decimal point location. Press and hold the RANGE button for two seconds to return to

Autoranging mode.

Note: Manual ranging does not function in AC Current or Diode and Continuity check

functions. In Temperature function, it will change the resolution from 0.1° to 1°.

Data Hold

To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the HOLD button. While data hold is active, the

HOLD display icon appears on the LCD. Press the HOLD button again to return to normal

operation.

Backlight

Press and hold the HOLD button for >2 seconds to turn the backlight on/off.

Note: The HOLD feature will activate when the backlight is turned on. Press the HOLD

button again to exit the Hold feature.

Zero Button

Zeros Capacitance and DC Current measurements. Also allows the user to offset the

meter by using the displayed value as the zero reference value. Press the ZERO key

momentarily to activate and to exit Zero mode.
