4. PRECAUTION & PREPARATIONS FOR
MEASUREMENTS
1) Remove the power from the circuit when making the
measurement. If any voltage is present in the testing
circuit, then an erroneous reading will result.
2) Ensure that the batteries (8 x 1.5 V AA battery) is
connected correctly the right position into the battery
compartment or DC 9V adapter.
3) Rotate the "Function/Range Switch" (3-2, Fig. 1) to the
right position before making measurement.
5. MEASURING PROCEDURE
5-1 OHMS Measurement (Continuous Check)
*Do not apply the external voltage
to the input terminals !
1) Connect the RED test plug into " ohm terminal " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 )
2) Connect the BLACK test plug into " COM terminal " ( 3-5,
Fig. 1 ).
3) Rotate the " Function/Range Switch " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) to the
" Ω" position.
4 Connect test alligator clips into circuit under test.
Note :
* A continuity beeper is equipped. If the measured
resistance < approx. 4 ohm, the beeper sounds will be
generated.
* If want to delete interior impedance of test-lead, you
can short them then press " TEST " button ( 3-7, Fig. 1 )
to subtract scrap value and get precision reading.
This function only valid if the interior impedance less
than 100 Ω.
* During the OHMS measurement, if press the " Hold Button "
( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) will freeze the display value.

5-2 Meg OHM Measurement
( Insulation Measurement)
* Do not touch the input terminals & the test
lead's pins during the measurements.
* Do not apply external voltage to input terminals
at any time.
1) Connect the RED test plug into " MΩterminal " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 )
2) Connect the BLACK test plug into " COM terminal " ( 3-5,
Fig. 1 )
3) Rotate the " Function/Range Switch " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) to the
" 4000MΩ/100V ", " 4000MΩ/250V ", " 4000MΩ/500V "
or "4000MΩ/1000V " position according the user's
requirement.
4) Connect the test ALLIGATOR CLIPS into the circuit under test.
5) You'll may choice " MANUAL " or " LOCK " mode to make
the measurement.
MANUAL mode
* The exciting voltage just generate to the test terminals
within a short period only.
1) Press " TEST " Button ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ) continuously ( finger is
not released from the " TEST " Button ), the meter will
sound " bi-bi-bi " warning voice ( about 3 seconds ) then
start the measurement, then the meter will sound " one
second ON, one second OFF " continuously, the
measurement value will present on the display.
Until the display value is stable, release the " TEST "
button, the display will show " D.H " symbol and latch the
measurement value.
2) After finish the measurement, press " TEST " Button to
cancel hold function and prepare next measurement.
6

LOCK mode
* The exciting voltage just generate to the test terminals
continuously.
1) Press " LOCK " button ( 3-8. Fig. 1 ) once the display will
show " LOCK " symbol.
2) Press " TEST " button once, the meter will sound " bi-bi-bi "
warning voice ( about 3 seconds ) then start the measurement,
then the meter will sound " one second ON, one second OFF "
continuously, the measurement value will present on the display.
Note :
* During this period, the exciting voltage will
generate to the test terminals continuously.
3) Press " TEST " button once again to close measurement
at same time the display will show "D.H" symbol and
latch last value, press " TEST " button once again to cancel
hold function and ready for next measurement.
5-3 ACV/DCV Measurement
* Do not apply the overload voltage
to the input terminals !
1) Rotate the " Function/Range Switch " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) to the
" V " position.
2) Press " TEST button " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ) once to choice " AC " or
" DC " function.
3) Connect the RED test plug into " V terminal " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 )
4) Connect the BLACK test plug into " COM terminal " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 )
5) Connect test leads into circuit under test.
6) The reading will show on the display, press " HOLD " button
( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) will latch the reading value, press the " HOLD "
button once again will release " HOLD " function "
Note :
* During the ACV/DCV measurement, if press the " Hold
Button " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) will freeze the display value.
