!Safety Information
Warning (Identify hazardous conditions and actions
that could cause BODILY HARM or DEATH)
• General (Including the request from EN61010-1)
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range
for measurements.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this
product around explosive gas or vapor.
• Verify the Meter operation by measuring a known
voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on
Meter, between terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock
and injury, replace battery as soon as low battery
indicator appears.
• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.
• Do not use the Tester if the Tester is not operating
properly or if it is wet.
• Individual protective device must be used if hazardous
live parts in the installation where the measurement is to
be carried out could be accessible.
• When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers
behind the finger guards.
• Do not use test leads or the Tester if they look damaged.
• Remove test lead from Meter before opening the battery
door or Meter case.
• Only replace the blown fuse with the proper rating as
specified in this manual.
• Do not attempt a current measurement when the open
voltage is above the fuse protection rating. Suspected
open voltage can be checked with voltage function.
67 EN

• Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test lead
inserted into the A input terminal
• Use caution with voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac
peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
• DO NOT USE the test leads above maximum ratings of
CAT. environment, voltage and current, that are indicated
on the probe and the probe tip guard cap.
• DO NOT USE the test leads without the probe tip guard
cap in CAT III and CAT IV environments.
• Probe assemblies to be used for MAINS measurements
shall be RATED as appropriate for MEASUREMENT
CATEGORY III or IV according to IEC 61010-031 and
shall have a voltage RATING of at least the voltage of
the circuit to be measured.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes.
Caution (Identify conditions and actions that could
cause DAMAGE the meter or equipment under test)
General
• Disconnect the test leads from the test points before
changing the position of the function rotary switch.
• Never voltage with the function rotary switch in
resistance, diode, continuity
• Do not expose Meter to extremes in temperature of high
humidity.

3-1 Preparation and Caution before Measurement
1. Before measurement, warm up for at least 30 seconds.
2. When the rotary function selector is changed during
measurement, be sure to do so only after removing the
test leads from the equipment.
3. If the equipment is used near noise generating
equipment, be aware that the display may become
unstable or indicate large errors.
4. Maximum rated voltage to earth for voltage and
current measurements terminals is 600V AC/DC CAT II.
3-2 Voltage Measurements
1. Connect the red test lead to the " V Ω " input terminal
and the black test lead to the "COM" terminal.
2. Set the rotary function switch to the ACV or DCV
position.
3. Connect the test leads to the device to be measured.
4. When the input is over-ranged the most significant digit
of LCD display flashes and the three last significant
digits are set to zero.
5. " Warning : Do not exceed 600Vd.c. or 600Va.c.
limits stated in the specification".
Warning
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, OR DAMAGE
TO THE METER, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MEASURE
VOLTAGES THAT MIGHT EXCEED 600 VOLTS d.c. OR
600 VOLTS a.c.. DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN 600V
d.c. OR 600V a.c. RMS BETWEEN THE COMMON
INPUT TERMINAL AND EARTH GROUND.
3-3 Resistance Measurement
1. Connect the red test lead to the " V Ω " terminal and
the black test lead to the "COM" terminal.
2. Set the rotary function switch to the "Ω" position to
measure resistance.
!

67 EN
3. For correct reading, ensure that there is no voltage
present across the device being tested.
4. Connect the test leads across the resistor to be
measured. To ensure the best accuracy in
measurement of low resistance, short the test leads
before measurement and note the test lead resistance.
It is necessary to subtract the resistance of the test
leads from the displayed reading.
3-4 Continuity Check by Sounder
1. Connect the red test lead to the " V Ω " terminal and
the black test lead to the "COM" terminal.
2. Set the rotary function switch to " " position.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured.
The sounder will operate if the resistance of the circuit
measured is lower than 30Ω.
4. The sounder may operate when the instrument is first
switched on in the continuity mode and all the LCD
segments are displayed.
3-5 Diode Check
1. Set the rotary switch to the " " position.
2. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" terminal and
the red lead to the " V Ω " input terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the diode. Normally the
forward drop of good silicon diode is shown between
0.4V to 0.9V. If the diode under test is defective, "000"
(short circuit) or "OL" (non-conductance) is displayed.
Reverse Check of Diode : If the diode under test is good
"1" is displayed. If the diode under test is defective "000"
or other values will be displayed.
3-6 Current Measurement
1. Connect the red test lead to "μA/mA" terminal and the
black test lead to "COM" terminal or use the "A" and
"COM" terminal in the "A" range.
10

67 EN
2. Set the function selector rotary switch to "μA" or "mA"
or "A".
3. Measurement of AC current can be performed by
pressing the "AC/DC" switch.
4. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING : TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
REMOVE TEST LEAD BEFORE OPENING THE COVER.
4-1 General Maintenance
To keep the instrument clean, wipe the case with a dry
cloth and detergent, do not use abrasives or solvents.
Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened
instrument under voltage shall be avoided as far as
possible and, if inevitable, shall be carried out by a skilled
person who is aware of the hazard involved.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been
impaired, the instrument shall be made inoperative and be
secured against any unintended operation.
The protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, the
apparatus:
— shows visible damage,
— fails to perform the intended measurements,
— has been subjected to prolonged storage under
unfavorable conditions,
— has been subjected to severe transport stresses.
4-2 BATTERY INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT
The meter is powered by two 1.5V batteries. Refer to
Figure 2A and use the following procedure to replace the
batteries:
1. Disconnect the test leads and turn the meter off.
Remove the test leads from the front terminals.
2. Remove the holster.
3. Position the meter face down. Remove the screw from
the case bottom.

11

67 EN
4. Lift the end of the case bottom until it gently unsnaps
from the case top at the end nearest the LCD.
5. Lift the battery from case top, and carefully disconnect
the batteries from battery connector leads.
6. Snap the battery connector leads to the terminals of the
new batteries and reinsert the batteries into the case
top. Make sure that the battery leads to not become
pinched between the case bottom and case top.
7. Replace the case bottom. Reinstall the screw and
replace the holster.
4-3 FUSE REPLACEMENT
Refer to Figure 2B and use the following procedure to
examine or replace the meter's fuse:
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of the battery replacement
procedure.
2. Lift the circuit board from case top. Do not remove the
screws from the circuit board.
3. Remove the defective fuse by gently prying one end of
the fuse loose and sliding the fuse out of the fuse
holder.
4. Install a new fuse of the same size and rating. Make
sure the new fuse is fitted centrally in the fuse holder.
5. Make sure that the case top rotary switch and
circuit board switch both are in the OFF position.
6. Replace the case top and case bottom. Make sure that
the battery leads do not become pinched between the
case halves. Reinstall the screw.
