Safety Information

To ensure the safe operation and service of the meter, follow these instructions closely. Failure to

observe warnings can result in severe injury.

Precautions and Preparations for Measurements

Ensure that the batteries are connected in the correct polarity and placed in the battery

compartment (rear) correctly.

Place the red and black test leads into the proper input terminals before making

measurements.

Remove the test leads from the circuit under test when changing the measurement ranges.

Do not exceed the maximum rated voltage and current on the meter input terminals.

Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for long periods

Replace the test leads only with ones rated for CAT III 1000V or better.

The meter has an automatic power OFF (APO) utility that switches the meter OFF after 15

minutes of inactivity. Press any key to wake the meter. To disable this feature, press and

hold the M (mode) button while switching the meter ON.

Warnings

Warnings identify hazardous conditions and actions that could cause BODILY HARM or DEATH.

Individual protective equipment should be used if HAZARDOUS LIVE parts in the installation

where measurements are to be carried out could be accessible.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

Verify the meter operation by measuring a known current. If in doubt, have the meter

serviced.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage/current as marked on the meter.

To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock and injury, replace battery as soon as

the low battery indicator appears.

Do not use the meter in or around explosive gas or vapor.

Do not use a flexible current sensor if the inner copper wire of the flexible cord is visible.

De-energize the installation under test or wear suitable protective clothing when placing or

removing the flexible current probe from a test setup.

Do not apply/remove the flexible current probe to/from UNINSULATED HAZARDOUS LIVE

conductors that may cause electric shock, electric burn, or arc flash.

Operation

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

prior to using this meter.

Meter Power

The meter is powered by two (2) 1.5V ‘AAA’ batteries. The battery compartment is located on the

back of the meter. Press the Power button to switch the device ON or OFF.

Low battery indication

When the low battery icon appears ( ) the batteries should be replaced immediately,

although in-specification measurements can still be made temporarily. When the low battery

icon begins blinking, in-specification measurements are no longer supported and batteries must

be replaced before further measurements can be made. Refer to the battery replacement

procedure in the maintenance section.

Automatic Power OFF

The meter switches OFF automatically after a 15-minute period of inactivity. To disable the Auto

Power OFF feature:

With the meter power OFF, press and hold the Mode (M) button while powering the

meter ON.

The APO feature is now disabled and the meter will not shut off automatically.

Note that the next time the meter is powered up, the Auto Power OFF function will be

enabled again and the user will have to repeat the Auto Power OFF disable instructions

to disable this function when desired.

Data Hold

Press the H(HOLD) button with the meter ON to freeze the displayed reading. The Hicon will

appear along with the held reading. Press the H(HOLD) button again to release the HOLD feature.

The Hicon will switch OFF and the meter will show real time readings.

DC and AC Voltage Measurements

WARNING: Use the test lead probe covers for CAT IV 600V installations. Do not measure

voltages greater than 1000V.

CAUTION: When connecting the test leads to the circuit or device under test, connect the

black lead before the red; when removing the test leads, remove the red before the black lead.

1. Connect the black test lead into the COM terminal.

2. Connect the red test lead into the ‘V’ terminal.

3. Power the meter using the power button .

4. Put the function switch to the ‘V’ position.

5. The display will show the ‘AUTO’ icon (Auto Range mode).

6. Press the M (MODE) button to select AC or DC voltage.

7. Press the test leads across the circuit under test and read the voltage on the display.

8. In the Auto Range mode, the meter will automatically select the optimal range. AC voltage

measurements are True RMS readings.
