WARNING :
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product
to rain or moisture. The meter is intended only for indoor use.
Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter
and the test leads) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-
held part during measurement. Inspect test leads, connectors and
probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the
instrument. If any defects are found, replace them immediately. Only
use the test lead provided with the meter or UL Listed Probe
Assembly to the same meter ratings or better.
IEC 61010-031 requires exposed conductive test probe tips to be
< 4mm for CAT III & CAT IV ratings. Refer to the category markings
on your probe assemblies as well as on the add-on accessories
(like detachable Caps or Alligator Clips), if any, for applicable
rating changes.
Observe proper safety precautions when working with voltages
above 33 Vrms, 46.7Vpeak or 70 VDC. These voltage levels pose
a potential shock hazard to the user. Before and after hazardous
voltage measurements, check the voltage function on a known
source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.

DCmA Current function:
Inputs are made via the test lead terminals COM/+.
Application Notes on Flame Sensors:
The DCmA function is designed especially for HVAC/R flame
sensor applications. The 0.1 mA resolution is useful for identifying
the minute current changes in flame detector applications. Flame
signal current check should indicate steady flame signal of at
least 2mA for a rectification type, or 1,5mA for an ultraviolet type
(8mA for self checking systems). If a flame signal current with
inadequate strength or fluctuation beyond 10%, check the
following to avoid the risk of unwanted flame relay dropout:
For gas or oil flames (Minipeeper):
• Low supply voltage
• Detector location
• Defective detector wiring
• Dirty viewing windows
• Faulty Minipeeper
For gas flames (Flame Rod):
• Ignition interference (A flame signal current difference with the
ignition both on & off greater than 0.5mA indicates the presence
of ignition, interference)
• Insufficient ground (must be at least 4 times the detector area)
• Flame lifting off burner head (ground), or not continuously in
contact with the flame rod.
• Temperature in excess of 600 °F (316 °C) at the flame electrode
insulator causing short to ground.

Note : When using diode test function, normal forward voltage drop
(forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to
0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective).
A zero reading indicates a shorted diode (defective). An OL indicates
an open diode (defective). Reverse the test leads connections
(reverse biased) across the diode. The digital display shows OL if the
diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is resistive or
shorted (defective).
CAUTION :
Using Capacitance or Diode function in a live circuit will
produce false results and may damage the meter. In many cases
the suspected component(s) must be disconnected from the circuit
to obtain an accurate measurement reading.

CAUTION :
Using Resistance, Continuity function in a live circuit will
produce false results and may damage the meter. In many cases
the suspected component(s) must be disconnected from the circuit
to obtain an accurate measurement reading.
W Resistance & Continuity functions :
Inputs are made through the test lead terminals COM/+.
Defaults at W Resistance. Press SELECT button momentarily to
toggle between the subject functions.
Continuity function is convenient for checking wiring connections
& operation of switches. The meter provides Audible as well as
visible results. A continuous beep tone, together with two flashing
LCD icons & W, indicates a complete wire. This further improves
ease of use especially in noisy working environments.

• Non-Contact EF-Detection (NCV): An antenna is located
along the top-right end of the stationary clamp jaw, which detects
electric field surrounding energized conductors. It is ideal for
tracing live wiring connections, locating wiring breakages and to
distinguish between live and earth connections.
• Probe-Contact EF-Detection: For more precise indication of
live wires, such as distinguishing between Live and Ground
connections, use direct contact testing with one single test-probe
via an input terminal. The COM terminal (Black) has the best
sensitivity.
DCV FUNCTION: Inputs are made via the test lead terminals COM / +.
WARNING : Before and after hazardous voltage measurements,
test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage
to determine proper meter functioning.

VII. OPERATION :
12
To realize swift simultaneous dual measurements, the meter uses
two Analog-to-Digital Converters (Duo) for its Clamp-on ACA
functions (Upper-display readings) as well as its Rotary-switch
functions (Lower-display readings) separately. Clamp-on ACA
functions turn ON whenever the Rotary-switch function is turned
ON.
INTRODUCTION
REGULAR & AMPTIP™ CLAMP-ON ACA FUNCTIONS
Defaults at Regular ACA function where best accuracy is
specified at the jaw center area. Press button momentarily to
toggle to AmpTip™ ACA function where best accuracy is
specified near the jaw tip area for low-current small conductors
below 10mm in diameter.
WARNING: Do not use the meter to measure currents above the
rated frequency (400Hz). Circulating currents may cause the
magnetic circuits of the Jaws reach a hazardous temperature.
CAUTION: (Application and Removal of the Clamp-on Jaws) Press
the jaw trigger andclamp the jaws around conductor(s) of only one
single pole of a circuit for load current measurements. Make sure the
jaws are completely closed, or else it will introduce measurement
errors. Enclosing conductor (s) of more than one pole of a circuit may
result in differential current (like identifying leakage current)
measurements. Align the conductors) to the Jaws center indicators
(Regular or AmpTip™ indicators where applicable) as much as
possible to get the best measuring accuracy. For removal, press the
jaw trigger and remove the jaws from the conductor(s).
CAUTION: Adjacent current-carrying devices such as transformers,
motors and conductor wires may affect measurement accuracy.
Keep the jaws away from them as much as possible to minimize
influence.
Inputs, other than that of EF-Detection as described later on,
are made via the test lead terminals COM/+. Defaults at ACV
Function. Press SELECT button momentarily to select ACV, Hz,
EF-H & EF-L functions in sequence.
ACV. Line-Level Hz & EF-Detection (NCV) functions
WARNING: Before and after hazardous voltage measurements,
test the voltage function on a known source such as line voltage to
determine proper meter functioning.
