1.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
This meter is in compliance with safety Standards EN
61010-1 related to electronic measuring instruments.
For your own safety and to avoid damaging the
instrument follow the procedures described in this
instruction manual and read carefully all notes
preceded by this symbol .When taking
measurements:
Avoid doing that in humid or wet places - make sure
that humidity is within the limits indicated in
paragraph 6.2.1.
Avoid doing that in rooms where explosive gas,
combustible gas, steam or excessive dust is
present.
Keep you insulated from the object under test.
Do not touch exposed metal parts such as test lead
ends, sockets, fixing objects, circuits etc.
Avoid doing that if you notice anomalous conditions
such as breakages, deformations, fractures,
leakages of battery liquid, blind display etc.
Be particularly careful when measuring voltages
exceeding 20V to avoid risk of electrical shocks.
The following symbols are used:
CAUTION - refer to the instruction manual -
an improper use may damage the instrument
or its components
TM-86
EN - 4

1.1. PRELIMINARY
This instrument has been designed for use in
environments of pollution degree 2.
It can be used for VOLTAGE and CURRENT
measurements on installations of over voltage CAT III
1000V and CAT IV 600V.
This instrument is not suitable for measurements of
non sine wave voltage and current.
When using the instrument always respect the
usual safety regulations aimed at protecting you
against the dangerous electric currents and
protecting the instrument against incorrect
operations.
Only the leads supplied with the instrument
guarantee compliance with the safety standards in
force. They must be in good conditions and, if
necessary, replaced with identical ones.
TM-86
EN - 5
Do not test or connect to any circuit exceeding the
specified overload protection.
Do not effect measurements under environmental
conditions exceeding the limits indicated in
paragraphs 6.1.1 and 6.2.1.
Make sure that batteries are properly installed.
Before connecting the test probes to the installation
make sure that the rotary selector is positioned on
the right function.
Make sure that LCD and rotary selector indicate the
same function.
1.2. DURING USE
CAUTION
An improper use may damage the
instrument and/or its components or injure
the operator.
When changing the range, first disconnect the test
leads from the circuit under test in order to avoid
any accident.
When the instrument is connected to measuring
circuits never touch any unused terminal.
When measuring resistors do not add any voltage.
Although there is a protection circuit, excessive
voltage could cause malfunctioning.
If during measurement the displayed values remain
constant check whether the HOLD function is
TM-86
EN - 6
active.
1.3. AFTER USE
After using the instrument turn it off.
If you expect not to use the instrument for a long
period remove the battery to avoid leakages of
battery liquids which may damage its inner
components.
1.4. MEASURING (OVERVOLTAGE) CATEGORIES
DEFINITIONS
EN 61010-1: Safety requirements for electrical
equipment for measurement, control and laboratory
use, Part 1: General requirements, gives a definition
of measuring category, usually called over voltage
category. Paragraph 6.7.4: Measuring circuits:
(OMISSIS)
Circuits are divided into the following measurement
categories:
Measurement category IV is for measurements
performed at the source of the low-voltage
installation.
Examples are electricity meters and
measurements on primary over current
protection devices and ripple control units.
TM-86
EN - 7
Measurement category III is for measurements
performed in the building installation.
Examples are measurements on distribution
boards, circuit breakers, wiring, including
cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches,
socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and
equipment for industrial use and some other
equipment, for example, stationary motors
with permanent connection to fixed
installation.
Measurement category II is for measurements
performed on circuits directly connected to the low
voltage installation.
Examples are measurements on household
appliances, portable tools and similar
equipment.
Measurement category I is for measurements
performed on circuits not directly connected to
MAINS.
Examples are measurements on circuits not
derived from MAINS, and specially protected
(internal) MAINS-derived circuits. In the latter
case, transient stresses are variable; for that
reason, the norm requires that the transient
withstand capability of the equipment is made
known to the user.
TM-86
EN - 8
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This meter performs the below listed measurements:
DC Voltage
AC sine wave Voltage
DC Current
AC sine wave Current
Resistance
Continuity
Diode test
Frequency
Duty cycle
Capacitance
All selectable by means of a 10 position rotary
selector (including OFF position). In addition there are
the HOLD key to hold the displayed value, the Rkey
for manual selection of measuring ranges, the REL
key for relative measurements and SEL key for
selection between Frequency and Duty Cycle or for
selection of DC and AC Current measurements.
The selected quantity is displayed with indication of
measuring unit and active functions.
The instrument disposes of an Auto Power Off
function consisting in an automatic switching off 15
TM-86
EN - 9
minutes after last selector rotation or function
selection.
3. PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1. INITIAL
This instrument was checked both mechanically and
electrically prior to shipment. All possible cares and
precautions were taken to let you receive the
instrument in perfect conditions. Notwithstanding we
suggest you to check it rapidly (eventual damages
may have occurred during transport – if so please
contact the local distributor from whom you bought
the item).
Make sure that all standard accessories mentioned in
paragraph are included. Should you have to return
back the instrument for any reason please follow the
instructions mentioned in paragraph 7.
3.2. SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The instrument is supplied by 2x1.5V batteries type
IEC AAA LR03. When batteries are low, a low battery
indication is displayed. To replace/insert batteries
please refer to paragraph 5.2.
