3-1. AC / DC Voltage
1. Set the rotary selector to Vposition.
3. Insert red lead into V terminal and
black lead into COM terminal.
2. The meter defaults at AC.
Press button momentarily to
toggle between AC and DC.
4. Connect black probe to ground and
red probe to the side of the circuit
closest to the power source.
3-2. DC milli-Voltage
1. Set the rotary selector to
position.
2. Insert red lead into V terminal and
black lead into COM terminal.
3. Connect black probe to negative
side of the circuit and red probe to
positive side of the circuit coming
from the power source.

3-4. Insulation Test
CAUTION
Turn off power and discharge all
capacitors on circuit to be tested before
attempting Insulation test.
Set the rotary selector tothe desired
test voltage position. A battery load
check is initiated when the switch is
moved tothis position. If the battery
fails, andappear on the
display.
In this case, Insulation tests cannot
be performed until the batteries are
replaced.

The meter defaults at Ω.
3. Insert black lead into COM terminal
and red lead into Ωterminal.
4. Touch the probes across the
resistance or circuit to be tested.
CAUTION
Turn off power and discharge all
capacitors on circuit to be tested before
attempting incircuit resistance
measurements. Accurate measurement
is not possible if external or residual
voltage is present.
If the resistance of the device is below
40 Ω, there is a continuity beep tone.
If the resistance of the device is more than
40 Ω, there is no beep tone.
This is useful for checking wiring
connections and operation of switches.

5. Release the button before disconnecting the probes from the
circuit under test. Then, the circuit will automatically be discharged through
the meter.
NOTE : When the button is pressed before the button,
the test remains active until the or button is
pressed again.
Connect the lead probes to the circuit under test. The meter automatically
detects if the circuit is energized.
The display shows until you press and a valid insulation
resistance reading is obtained.
Press and hold button to start the test. The LCD shows (high
voltage warning) symbol along with the resistance in MΩor GΩ.
The symbol will be displayed on the LCD until the button is
released. The meter displays symbol along with the maximum resistance
for the range when the resistance is higher than the maximum display range.
