Overview
This Operating Manual covers information on safety and cautions. Please read the relevant information carefully and
observe all the warnings and notes strictly.
Warning
Read the Rules for Safety Operation carefully before using the Meter
Digital Multimeter Model VC820 and VC840 (hereafter referred to as “the Meter”) has autorange and manual range options
with maximum reading 3999. The enclosure structure design adopted advanced “co-injection” technique in order to provide
sufficient insulation.
In addition to the conventional measuring functions, there is a RS232C standard serial port is equipped with this Meter for
easy connection with computer to realize macro recording and monitoring and capture of transient dynamic data, displaying
change of waveform during the measurement, providing data and evidence to engineering technicians for scientific research.
This is also a highly applied digital multimeter of high performance with full input protection. VC840 also has true rms
reading for AC voltage and AC current measurements.
Except where noted, the descriptions and instructions in this Operating Manual apply to both the VC820 and VC840.
Unpacking Inspection
Open the package case and take out the Meter. Check the following items carefully to see any missing or damaged part:

Safety Information
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user, or may damage the Meter or the
equipment under test.
This Meter complies with the standards GB4793.1 & IEC1010-1: In pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT II
1000V, CAT III 600V) and double insulation.
CAT II: local classification of CAT II electronic equipment, portable units. Its transient overvoltage shall be less than that of
CAT III.
CAT III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient overvoltage than CAT IV

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under
test, adhere to the following rules:
1. Do not use this Meter in the event you find the test lead, LCD display, or insulation of the case is/are obviously
broken, or you believe this Meter being malfunctioned.
2. If the test lead is/are damaged, replace new test lead with same model no. or identical electrical specifications.
3. When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
4. Do not impose any effective voltage over 1000V on the terminal and earth of the Meter to prevent electric shock and
damage to the Meter.
5. When the Meter working at an effective voltage over 60V in DC or 30V in AC, special care should be taken for there is
danger of electric shock.
6. Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) removed; there is danger of electric shock.
7. When replacing fuse or battery, the test leads should be disconnected from the tested circuit and the POWER should be
pressed off before opening the case.
8. Identical nominal fuse of quick response must be used for replacement of a broken fuse.
9. The rotary switch should be placed in the right position and no any changeover of range shall be made during
measurement is conducted to prevent damage of the Meter.
10. The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident.
11. Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears. With a low battery, the Meter might produce false
readings that can lead to electric shock and personal injury.
12. Soft cloth and neutral detergent should be used to clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No abrasive and
solvent should be used to prevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and accident.
13. Do not use the Meter in an environment of high temperature, humidity, and storage of explosive or inflammable
materials. Particularly not to put the Meter in a humid condition for storage. The performance of the Meter may
deteriorate after dampened.
14. Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
