1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
KM 6050 Digital Multimeter is featured with precise
design, convenient operation, high performance
multifunction, a new protection holster and big LCD
display. To avoid improper operation, the current
jack applies mechanical protection device. Only
when you select current measurement, the mA or
20A jack is open accordingly. Otherwise this jack
is closed to avoid inserting the test lead wrong.
“VWHz” is equipped with PTC heat sensitive
element at the input terminal and this has efficient
protection for the Function / Range switch. You
can select different models to measure DCV, DCA,
ACV, ACA, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency,
Temperature, Diode, hFE and Continuity. This
type can be applied in engineering project,
experiment test, production test work in the open
air, and electrical repairs, etc.
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES
1) For your own safety and that of the apparatus,
you must read and follow the procedure
described in this instruction manual.
2) Never use the instrument before replacing the
back cover, or having the risk of electronic
shock.
3) If any unusual condition of testing end and
attachment of the meter such as breakage,
deformation, fracture, foreign substance, no
display, etc, do not conduct any measurement.
4) You must first take out the test leads before
changing to different current measuring
positions and then turn the function / range
switch so as to avoid damaging mechanical
protection device.
1

2
5) Never input signal level exceeding the limit
value to avoid shock or damaging the
instrument.
6) Don’t turn the function / range switch when
taking measurement.
7) The potential difference between the
measurement common terminal COM and earth
should not exceed 1000V to avoid electric
shock.
8) Take extreme care if the tested voltage is over
DC 60V and AC 42V to avoid electric shock.
9) When symbol “ ” occurs on the LCD, it
indicates low battery. Battery should be
replaced to ensure measurement accuracy.
10) Fuse inside must be in a good condition and
they must be replaced, if necessary, with an
indentical model.

Caution: Identifies conditions and actions that
could cause damage or Malfunction
in the instrument.
Warning: Identifies conditions and actions that
could result in serious injury or
even death to the user.

7. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Press POWER key. If the battery is low “ ”
symbol will display on the left top of LCD. Now you
need to replace the battery.
(1) Set the function / range switch in DCV range.
(2) Insert the black test lead into COM jack, and
the red test lead into exposed test lead jack
(VWHz jack). Connect the test lead to the
tested load or the signal resources in parallel.
The meter will indicate the polarity of the red
test lead at the same time as it indicates the
voltage reading.
Select the function and range needed.

(VWHz jack). Connect the test lead to the
tested load or signal.
Remark :
A. If the tested voltage value is unknown, you
should select the highest range.
B. When only “1” occurs, it means the input
voltage has exceeded the selected range,
please select a higher range.
C. “ ” indicates not to measure voltage over
1000V. Although it may display the digit, it
may damage the meter.
D. Take extreme care when measuring high

Remark :
A. When doing open circuit input, the meter is in
the state of over-range, and only the highest
digit “1” is displayed.
B. When the tested resistance is over 1MW, it
takes a few seconds to stabilize the reading.
It is normal for the HWmeasurement.
(1) Set the function / range switch on Wrange
position needed.
(2) Insert the black test lead into COM jack and
the red test lead into the exposed VWHz jack
(The red test lead is the positive polarity of the
measurement circuit). Connect the test lead
to the two ends of the tested resistance.

6. Capacitance measurement :
(1) Set the function / range switch on the range
position needed, waiting for the meter’s Auto
zero-calibration. It is normal that about 10
digits are left in 2 nF.
(2) Discharge the capacitor.
(3) Insert the capacitor under test into “Cx” jack
and measure (It doesn’t need the test lead).
