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 600V.

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.

This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous objects as

well as small parts that the children could swallow. In case a child swallows any of them,

please contact a physician immediately

Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around unattended; they can be dangerous

for children if they use them as toys

In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the batteries

to prevent them from training

Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with the skin. Always,

therefore, use suitable hand gloves in such cases

See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.

Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers do not

normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for

extended periods of time

Operation

NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation manual prior

to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.

Input Shutter

The Input Shutter inhibits simultaneous connection to the thermocouple jacks and the DMM input

jacks. This is a safety feature which prevents a potentially hazardous condition from existing during

high voltage measurements. Slide the shutter up for test lead measurements or slide it down for

thermocouple temperature measurements.

Non-Contact Voltage Detector

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a known live

circuit to verify proper operation.

1. Rotate the Function switch to any measurement position.

2. Place the detector probe tip on the conductor to be tested.

3. If AC voltage is present, the NCV detector light will turn on

with a steady red light.

NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For

best results, move 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.

If one reading displays a value (typically 0.400V to 01.800V) and the other reading

displays OL, the diode is good.

If both readings display OL the device is open.

If both readings are very small or ‘0’, the device is shorted.

the IRT button is released the displayed temperature will be held for approx. 10 seconds.

7. Read the MAX temperature in the lower display.

Press the MAX/MIN button to toggle the lower display between the maximum and minimum

measured values.

WARNING: Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye.

Low power visible lasers do not normally present a hazard, but may

present some potential for hazard if viewed directly for extended periods

of time.

IR Spot to Distance Diagram

The 8:1 spot to distance ratio determines the size of

the measured surface area with respect to the

distance the meter is held away from the surface.

IR Measurement Notes

1. The object under test should be larger than the spot (target) size calculated by the field of view

diagram.

2. If the surface of the object under test is covered with frost, oil, grime, etc., clean before taking

measurements.

3. If an object's surface is highly reflective, apply masking tape or flat black paint to the surface

before measuring.

4. The meter may not make accurate measurements through transparent surfaces such as glass.

5. Steam, dust, smoke, etc. can obscure measurements.

6. To find a hot spot, aim the meter outside the area of interest then scan across (in an up and

down motion) until the hot spot is located.
