1. ATION SAFETY INFORM SAFETY SYMBOLS
Warning! Dangerous Voltage (Risk of electric shock).
Caution! Refer to the user’s manual before using this Meter.
Double Insulation (Protection Class Ⅱ).
Alternating Current (AC)
Direct Current (DC).
Either DC or AC.
Ground (maximum permitted voltage between terminal and
ground).
The symbol indicating separate collection for electrical and
electronic equipment.
The RESPONSIBLE BODY shall be made aware that, if the
instrument is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the instrument may
be impaired.
The finger or any part of your body shall not be beyond
the barrier of the test probe when measuring.
Individual protective equipment must be used if
HAZARDOUS LIVE parts in the installation where
measurement is to be carried out could be ACCESSIBLE.
Not to use the CURRENT SENSOR if the wear indicator in
the JAW OPENING is visible.
The following safety information must be observed to insure
maximum personal safety during the operation at this meter.

1.1 Do not operate the meter if the body of meter or the test lead
look broken.
1.2 Check the main function dial and make sure it is at the correct
position before each measurement.
1.3 Do not perform resistance, capacitance, temperature, diode
and continuity test on a live power system.
1.4 Do not apply voltage between the test terminals and test
terminal to ground that exceed the maximum limit record in this
manual.
1.5 Exercise extreme caution when measuring live system with
voltage greater than 60V DC or 30V AC.
1.6 Keep the fingers after the protection ring when measuring
through the clamp.
1.7 Change the battery when the “ ” symbol appears to avoid
incorrect data.
1.8 Use the DMM indoor, altitude up to 2000m and temperature
5°C to 40°C.
Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to

3. OPERATION
3.1 DC and AC Voltage Measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test lead
to the "VΩHz" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired “mV ”or “V” position.
3) Press “SELECT” key to choose “DC”or “AC”measurement.
4) Measure the voltage by touch the test lead tips to the test circuit
where the value of voltage is needed.
5) Read the result from the LCD panel.
3.2 DC Current Measurement
1) Set the selector switch to desired “400A ” or “2000A ”
position.

-18-
2) Press “SELECT” key to choose “DC”measurement.
3) Zero the reading by pressing “REL△”key for a reading of zero
on the display.
4) Disconnect the test leads from the Meter.
5) Clamp the Jaws around the one conductor to be measured.
Center the conductor within the Jaw using the Centering Marks as
guides.
6) Read the result from the LCD panel. The arrow in the Jaw
indicates the direction of positive current flow (positive to
negative).
3.3 AC Current Measurement
1) Set the selector switch to desired “400A ” or “2000A ”
position.
2) Press “SELECT” key to choose “AC”measurement.
3) Disconnect the test leads from the Meter.
4) Clamp the Jaws around the one conductor to be measured.
Center the conductor within the Jaw using the Centering Marks as
guides.
5) Read the result from the LCD panel.
3.4 Resistance Measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test lead
to the "VΩHz" socket.
2) Set the selector switch to desired “ ” position.
3) Press “SELECT” key to choose Resistance measurement.
4) Connect tip of the test leads to the points where the value of the
resistance is needed.
5) Read the result from the LCD panel.
Note: When take resistance value from a circuit system, make
sure the power is cut off and all capacitors need to be discharged.
3.5 Capacitance Measurement
1) Connect the black test lead to "COM" socket and red test lead
to the "VΩHz" socket.
