Safety Precautions

1. Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and

understand this user manual before operating the meter.

2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed and secured.

3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before

operating the meter. Repair any damage before use.

5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.

6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC

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

7. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before

performing Capacitance, Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.

8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be stored for long periods.

9. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any circuit whose voltage

exceeds 250V AC.

10. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the

uncertainty of connection to the electrical contacts. Other means should be used to

ensure that the terminals are not "live".

MN26T V4.0 05/05

Capacitance Measurements

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

lead banana plug into the positive CAP jack.

2. Turn the rotary switch to the CAP position.

3. Touch the test probes to the circuit or device under test and read the capacitance on

the display.

Frequency or Duty Cycle Measurements

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

lead banana plug into the positive HZ jack.

2. Turn the rotary switch to the Hz/% position.

3. Press the Hz/% key to select “Hz” or “%”.

4. Touch the test probes to the circuit or under test and read the frequency or duty cycle

on the display.

Temperature Measurements

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect test leads from any source of voltage

before making a temperature measurement. Be sure that the thermocouple has been

removed before changing to any other measurement function.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not probe live circuits with the thermocouple

probe..

1. Insert the type K thermocouple probe into the sub-miniature temperature socket.

(see separate instruction sheet at the end of this manual)

2. Turn the rotary switch to the oCor oFposition.

3. Read the temperature on the display.

Note: Although the meter specifies the temperature range to be -4 to 1400oF (-20 to 760oC)

the supplied thermocouple’s (Part No. TP870) temperature range is -40 to 482oF (-4- to

250oC).

Continuity Measurements

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

lead banana plug into the positive Ωjack. Observe polarity.

2. Turn the rotary switch to the •))) position.

3. Press the •))) key to select continuity.

4. Touch the test probes to the circuit or device under test. If the resistance is less than

approximately 30Ωthe buzzer will sound and the resistance appears on the display.

Diode Measurements

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

lead banana plug into the positive diode jack.

2. Turn the rotary switch to the •))) position.

3. Press the •))) key to select diode.

4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to

0.7V. Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0mV and

an open device will indicate “OL” in both polarities.

Manual Ranging

The meter powers on in the autoranging mode. Press the Range key to go to manual

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

and decimal point location. Press and hold the Range key for one second to return to

autoranging.

Data Hold

Press the Data Hold key to freeze the reading in the display. “HOLD” will appear in the

LCD. Press the key again to release the display.

Relative Measurements

The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored

reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements made

in comparison to that value. The displayed value is the difference between the reference

value and the measured value.

1. Perform any measurement as described in the operating instructions.

2. Press the Relative button to store the reading in the display and the "REL" indicator

will appear on the display.

3. The display will now indicate the difference between the stored value and the

measured value.

4. Press the Relative button to return to normal operation.

Auto Off

The auto off feature will turn the meter off after 15 minutes of inactivity (Range switch or a

key has not been turned or pressed). A beep will warn the user shortly before the auto off

feature activates.

Maintenance

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage

before removing the battery/fuse cover.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery/fuse

cover is in place and fastened securely.

This Multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care

instructions are performed.

1. Keep the meter dry.

2. Use and store the meter in mild ambient conditions. Temperature extremes can

shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts.

3. Handle the meter gently. Dropping it can damage the electronic parts or the case.

4. Keep the meter clean. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth. DO NOT use

chemicals, cleaning solvents or detergents.

5. Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type. Remove old or weak

batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit.

6. If the meter is to be stored for a long period of time, the batteries should be removed

to prevent damage to the unit.

Battery Replacement

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of

voltage before removing the battery/fuse cover.

1. Disconnect the test leads from the meter.

2. Remove the rubber holster (if in place).

3. Open the battery door by removing the screw using a Phillips

head screwdriver.

4. Insert the new batteries into the battery holder, observing the

correct polarity.

5. Replace the battery door and secure with the screw.

Fuse Replacement

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of

voltage before removing battery/fuse cover.

1. Disconnect the test leads from any circuit being measured.

2. Remove the rubber holster (if in place).

3. Open the fuse cover by removing the screw on the rear cover using a Phillips

screwdriver.

4. Remove the rear cover.

5. Remove the old fuse by gently pulling up on it.

6. Install the new fuse by gently pushing it into the holder.

7. Always use a fuse of the proper size and value (0.5A/250V fast blow, or 10A/250V

fast blow).

8. Replace the fuse door and secure with the screw.

A UL mark does not indicate that this product has been evaluated for the accuracy of its

readings.
