WARNING!

1. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THESE

RATINGS:

- Voltage is not to exceed 1000 Volts.

- Resistance, Capacitance, Logic and Continuity functions

are not to be performed on circuits capable of delivering

greater than 600 Volts.

- Current measurements are not to be performed on cir-

cuits capable of delivering greater than 500 Volts

2. To avoid electrical shock hazards and/or damage to the

meter:

- Do not exceed the voltage ratings for the meter. Use

caution when measuring voltage.

- Do not use during electrical storms. AC power sources

with inductive loads or electrical storms may result in

high voltage. High energy transients can damage meter

and present a dangerous shock hazard.

- Turn off power to the circuit or device being measured

before taking resistance and capacitance measurements.

Fully discharge all capacitors before measuring.

3. Ensure meter is in proper working order before using.

Visually inspect meter for damage. Performing a continuity

check can verify proper operation. If the meter reading goes

from overload to zero, this typically means the meter is in

proper working order.

4. Visually inspect leads for damage before using. Replace if

insulation is damaged or leads appear suspect.

5. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.

Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures etc.

Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing,

rubber shoes, mats, or any other approved insulating mater-

ial. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the

probes. Work with others.

6. Before beginning all unknown measurements, set meter to

highest possible range.

7. Before breaking a circuit for testing, turn off the power to the

circuit. When disconnecting from a circuit, disconnect the

hot lead first, then the common lead.

8. Disconnect the meter from the circuit before turning off any

indicator, including motors, transformers and solenoids.

LCD Menu Function Buttons

• Use the Οbutton to select the row of the function menu.

The rows number is labeled on the right hand side. The

active row is marked with a Οindicator on the left end of

the line.

• Use the F1, F2, F3 and F4 buttons to select the column of

the function menu. The selected menu function will be out-

lined with a .

• The Menu Function Indicator will appear in Recall, Setup,

Setting, High or Low modes. When this is displayed, the

Light, Bar, Digit and Range buttons will be changed to

increase (+), decrease (-), left shift ( ) and right shift ( )

functions.

• Operating results obtained in the various menu functions

which are not stored in memory will be lost when the meter

is taken out of the menu function and returned to active

measurements.

Store

• Pressing the F1 button while the Οindicates row M1 acti-

vates the store function.

• Up to seven data points can be stored.

• Pressing F1 will store the first data point.

• Pressing F1 again will store the second data point, etc.

• The captured data will be displayed in the secondary dis-

play.

• The data points stored in memory will be cleared when

changing ranges, or the measurement on the rotary function

switch.

Recall

• Pressing the F2 button while the Οindicates row M1 acti-

vates the recall function.

• While in recall mode, the and buttons will scroll

through the stored data points.

• Stored data will be displayed on the secondary display.

• Pressing the F2 button while in recall mode returns the unit

to active measurements.

Reset

• Pressing the F3 button while the Οindicates row M1 acti-

vates the reset function.

• The reset button clears all stored data points, and resets the

High and low limits, and REF value to the default settings.

Auto Hold

• Pressing the F4 button while the Οindicates row M1 acti-

vates the auto hold function.

• The auto hold function is activated when a stable reading is

achieved.

• The meter will beep when the meter captures the value in

auto hold.

• The held value will be displayed in the secondary display

with the annunciator.

• Pressing the F4 button while in auto hold mode returns the

unit to active measurements.

Max, Min, Max-Min

• Pressing the F1, F2 or F3 button while the Οindicates row

M2 activates these functions.

• The maximum, minimum and maximum-minimum values

are displayed in the secondary display when these functions

are activated.

• These values are the most recent values, and cleared by the

reset function.

Peak Hold

• Pressing the F4 button while the Οindicates row M2 acti-

vates the peak hold function.

• In peak hold mode, pressing F1, F2 or F3 will display the

peak hold maximum, minimum and maximum-minimum

values.

• The beeper sounds when new minimum or maximum values

are detected.

• Pressing the F4 button while in peak hold mode returns the

unit to active measurements.

High and Low Limit

• Pressing the F1 or F2 button while the Οindicates row M2

activates the high or low limit function.

• The high limits may be set by pressing the F1 button and

using the +, -, and buttons to set the values in the

secondary display.

• The first digit of the high limit value will blink, indicating

that it can be changed.

• Press the and buttons to move left and right through
