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.

•Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater

than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock

hazard.

•Warning! This is a class A equipment. This equipment can cause

interferences in the living quarters; in this case the operator can be

required to carry out adequate measures.

•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.

Operating Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC,

are very dangerous and should be measured with great care.

1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in

use.

2. Press the HOLD button to freeze a displayed reading

NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not

connected to a device, the display may show a random, changing

reading. This is normal and is caused by the high-input sensitivity. The

reading will stabilize and give a proper measurement when connected

to a circuit.

NON-CONTACT AC VOLTAGE DETECTOR

The EX310 can detect the presence of AC voltage (from 100 to 600VAC) simply

by being held very near to a voltage source.

WARNING: Test the AC voltage detector on a known live circuit before

each use.

WARNING: Before using the meter in the AC Voltage Detector mode,

verify that the battery is fresh by confirming characters appear on the LCD

when the function dial is turned to any position. Do not attempt to use the

meter as an AC Voltage Detector if the battery is weak or bad.

The NCV function works on any rotary switch position.

1. Test the detector on a known live circuit before use.

2. Press and hold the NCV button for the duration of

the test. The meter will beep once when the button

is pushed.

3. Hold the top of the meter very close to the voltage

source as shown.

4. If voltage is present, the rim of the LCD display will

flash a bright orange and an audible warning will

sound.

EX330-EU-ENG – V4.2 1/08

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough

to contact the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because

the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may

show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the

probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before

assuming that no voltage is present.

CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being

switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the

meter.

1. Set the function switch to the VAC position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into

the negative COM jack.

Insert red test lead banana plug into the

positive Vjack.

3. Touch the black test probe tip to the neutral

side of the circuit.

4. Touch the red test probe tip to the “hot” side

of circuit.

5. Read the voltage in the display.

6. If the measured AC voltage exceeds the

highest range of the meter (refer to the

specification table) an audible tone will

sound.

EX330-EU-ENG – V4.2 1/08

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being

switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the

meter.

1. Set the function switch to the VDC position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the

negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the

positive Vjack.

3. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative

side of the circuit.

Touch the red test probe tip to the positive

side of the circuit.

4. Read the voltage in the display.

EX330-EU-ENG – V4.2 1/08

AC / DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: Do not make current measurements at 10 Amps for longer

than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter

and/or the test leads.

1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

2. For current measurements up to 4000µA, set the function switch to the

µA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the mA/µA jack

3. For current measurements up to 400mA, set the function switch to the

mA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the mA/µA

jack.

4. For current measurements up to 10A, set the function switch to the 10A

range and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.

5. Use the MODE button to select AC or DC current. The display will reflect

the selection.

6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the

point where you wish to measure current.

7. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch

the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

8. Apply power to the circuit.

9. Read the current in the display.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under

test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance

measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.

1. Set the function switch to the Ω position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the

negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the

positive Ωjack.

3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or

component under test. It is best to disconnect

one side of the circuit under test so the rest of

the circuit will not interfere with the resistance

reading.

4. Read the resistance in the display.

CONTINUITY CHECK

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or

wires that have voltage on them.

1. Set the function switch to the position.

2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the

negative COM jack.

3. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the

positive Ωjack.

4. Use the MODE button to view the icon on

the display.

5. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or

wire you wish to check.

6. If the resistance is less than approximately

100Ω, the audible signal will sound. If the

circuit is ‘open’ (bad), the display will

indicate “OL”.
