TAKE MEASUREMENTS CAREFULLY AND YOU’LL SPARE
YOUR METER AND YOURSELF, SOME PAIN.
Nearly every electrical engineer has a hand held Multimeter. We
sometimes take them for granted, until we damage them or “burn them
out”. If you incorrectly connect your DMM to a circuit or have the DMM on
wrong setting, you damage the meter and possibly hurt yourself. You can
also get into trouble if you try to measure the voltage across a charged
capacitor.
DMM users frequently burn their meters by trying to measure current the
same way as they measure voltage, Remember, you measure voltage
across a circuit, and current through a circuit. When you use the current
input, your DMM becomes a low impedance circuit element. If you
accidentally connect this low impedance path across your circuit, you’ll
effectively short-circuit it. You can, therefore send high current through
your meter and severely damage it. Unless the meter has a fused input,
you can even get an explosion or fire.
Even if you correctly insert your DMM into the circuit, you can still damage
your meter. Don’t try to measure current in excess of your meter’s
capacity. Handheld DMMs usually have a maximum current rating of 10A
or 20A.
If you are measuring current in industrial environment, you can easily
exceed those ratings. The best way to avoid damage is to use a clamp
meter or to connect a clamp attachment to your DMM.
To prevent excess current from flowing through your meter, always
disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test whenever you change
DMM functions, Set your meter to the correct function, say current and its
highest range for the setting, say 20A.
Next, connect the test leads before you apply power to the circuit. To be
safe, start by setting your meter to its highest range first.

installation. Examples are measurements on household
appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock hazard,
observe the proper safety precautions when working with
voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose
a potential shock hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or
the circuit being tested while power is applied to the circuit being
measured. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards of the test
leads during measurement. Inspect test leads, connectors, &
probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the
instrument. If any defects are found, replace them immediately.

Do not measure any current that exceeds the current rating of the
protection fuse. Do not attempt a current measurement to any
circuit where the open circuit voltage is above the protection fuse
voltage rating. Suspected open circuit voltage should be checked
with voltage functions. Never attempt a voltage measurement
with the test lead inserted into the A/mA or A input jack. Only 
replace the blown fuse with the proper rating as specified in this
manual.
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing
functions. Always set the instrument to the highest range and
work downward for an unknown value when using manual
ranging mode.

RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the
effective or equivalent DC value of an AC signal. Most digital
multimeters use average sensing RMS calibrated technique to
measure RMS values of AC signals. This technique is to obtain
the average value by rectifying and filtering the AC signal. The
average value is then scaled upward (calibrated) to read the RMS
value of a sine wave. In measuring pure sinusoidal waveform, this
technique is fast, accurate and cost effective. In measuring non-
sinusoidal waveforms, however, significant errors can be
introduced because of different scaling factors relating average to
RMS values.
Average sensing RMS calibrated
True RMS is a term which identifies a DMM that responds
accurately to the effective RMS value regardless of the
waveforms such as: square, sawtooth, triangle, pulse trains,
spikes, as well as distorted waveforms with the presence of
harmonics. Harmonics may cause :
True RMS
1)Overheated transformers, generators and motors to burn out
faster than normal.
2)Circuit breakers to trip prematurely
3)Fuses to blow
4)Neutrals to overheat due to the triplen harmonics present on
the neutral
5)Bus bars and electrical panels to vibrate

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).
Discharge capacitors before making any measurement.
Large value capacitors should be discharged through an
appropriate resistance load.

* Note : When measuring a 3-phase system, special attention
should be taken to the phase-to-phase voltage which is
significantly higher than the phase-to-earth voltage.
To avoid exceeding the voltage rating of the protection fuse(s)
accidentally, always consider the phase-to-phase voltage as the
working voltage for the protection fuse(s).
PC COMPUTER INTERFACE CAPABILITIES
The instrument equips with an optical isolated interface port at
the meter back for data communication. Optional purchase PC
USB interface kit BU-82X is required to connect the meter to the
PC computer.
Backlighted display
Press SELECT button for 1 second or more to toggle the LCD
backlight. The backlight will also be turned off automatically after
32 seconds to extend battery life.

Beep-Jack Input Warning
The meter beeps as well as displays “InEr” to warn the user
against possible damage to the meter due to improper
connections to the A, mA or A input jacks when other function
(like voltage function) is selected.
Hold
The hold feature freezes the display for later view. Press
the HOLD button momentarily to toggle the hold feature.
Relative Zero mode
Relative zero allows the user to offset the meter consecutive
measurements with the displaying reading as the reference
value. Practically all displaying readings can be set as relative
reference value including MAX/MIN/AVG* readings. Press the
Button momentarily to toggle relative zero mode.
Manual or Auto-ranging
Press the RANGE button momentarily to select manual-ranging,
and the meter will remain in the range it was in, the LCD AUTO
turns off. Press the button momentarily again to step through the
ranges. Press and hold the button for 1 second or more to
resume auto-ranging.
Note : Manual ranging feature is not available in Hz function.
Auto-Power off (APO)
The Auto-Power-off (APO) mode turns the meter off automatically
to extend battery life after approximately 30 minutes of no
a c t i v i t i e s . A c t i v i t i e s a r e s p e c i f i e d a s :
1) Rotary switch or push button operations, and 2) Significant
measuring readings of above 512 counts or non-OL  readings.
In other words, the meter will intelligently avoid entering the APO
mode when it is under normal measurements. To wake up the
meter from APO, press the SELECT, RANGE, RELATIVE or
HOLD button momentarily or turn the rotary switch OFF and then
back on. Always turn the rotary switch to the OFF position when
the meter is not in use.
Disabling Auto-Power off
Press the SELECT button while turning the meter on to
temporarily disable the Auto-Power-Off feature. Turn the rotary
switch OFF and then back on to resume.
Set Beeper Off
Press the RANGE button while turning the meter on to
temporarily disable the Beeper feature. Turn the rotary switch
OFF and then back on to resume.

5) MAINTENANCE
To avoide electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit,
remove the test leads from the input jacks and turn OFF the meter
before opening the case. Do not operate with open case. Install
only the same type of fuse or equivalent.
WARNING
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild
detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. If the meter is
not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the
battery and store it separately.
Cleaning and Storage
If the instrument fails to operate, check battery, fuses, leads, etc.,
And replace as necessary. Double check operating procedure as
described in this user’s manual.
Trouble Shooting
If the instrument voltage-resistance input terminal has subjected
to high voltage transient (caused by lightning or switching surge
to the system) by accident or abnormal conditions of operation,
the series fusible resistors will be blown off (brcome high
impedance) like fuses to protect the user and the instrument.
Most measuring functions through this terminal will then be open
circuit. The series fusible resistors and the spark gaps should
then be replaced by qualified technician. Refer to the
WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.
Battery and Fuse replacement
Battery use : Single 9V battery.
Fuse use :
Fuse (FS1) for AmA current input :
0.44A/1000Vac & Vdc, IR 10kA, or better,
F fuse;
Fuse (FS2) for A current input :
11A/1000Vac & Vdc, IR 20kA, or better,
F fuse;
Battery replacement :
Loosen the 2 screws from the battery access door of the case
bottom. Lift the battery access door and thus the battery
compartment up. Replace the battery. Re-fasten the screws.
Fuse replacement :
Loosen the 4 screws from the case bottom. Lift the end of the case
bottom nearest the input jacks until it unsnaps from the case top.
Replace the blown fuse(s). Replace the case bottom, and ensure
that all the gaskets are properly seated and the two snaps on the
case top (near the LCD side) are engaged. Re -fasten the screws.
