IN SOME CASES, POWER LINES MAY CARRY VOLTAGE SPIKES OF
SEVERAL TIMES OF THE NORMAL SUPPLY VOLTAGE. THIS
INSTRUMENT SHOULD NOT BE USED TO MEASURE POWER LINES.
*The term of “POWER LINE”means the electrical circuit providing the power to
factories, buildings, and etc.
●Before operating this instrument, familiarize yourself with all instructions
outlined in this manual.
●Always check to make sure that the function switch is set to the proper position.

4. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
4-1. Measurement of AC Line Current (～A)
①Press the power switch "ON".
②Set the range selector switch to the proper
ACA range to be measured.
Start the measurement at top range and
then work down to lower range.
③Open the CT and clamp it to the conductor
to be measured at the center of CT.
Close CT completely.
④Read the current value on the display.
⑤If you make measurements in a dark place
or in a place where it is difficult to see the
readings, use the data hold switch. Fig.1
Note : Clamp around only one conductor of the circuit to be measured. (See Fig.1)
When making the clamp measurements for high AC current, the noise sound
of CT may be caused, however, this is not abnormal.

△
!WARNING
●To avoid electrical shock or damage, the measurement is limited to the circuit
under 600V AC.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
●Never fail to keep the maximum 600A input to avoid electrical shock or damage.
●Never make measurements for uninsulated conductors or bus bars.
4-2. Measurement of Voltage
4-2-1. Measurement of AC Voltage
①Set the power switch to "ON" position.
②Connect the plug of red test lead into
the “V”terminal and the plug of black
test lead into the “COM”terminal.
③Set the range selector switch to “ACV~”
range.
④Contact the tips of the test leads to the
circuit under test.
⑤Read the voltage value in the display.
4-2-2. Measurement of DC Voltage
①Set the power switch to "ON" position.
②Connect the plug of red test lead into the “V”terminal and the plug of black test
lead into the “COM”terminal.
③Set the range selector switch to “DCV …” range.
④Contact the tips of the test leads to the circuit under test.
⑤Read the voltage value in the display.

△
!WARNING
Do not make measurements of power lines carrying more than 250V.
IN SOME CASES, POWER LINES MAY CARRY VOLTAGE SPIKES OF
SEVERAL TIMES OF THE NORMAL SUPPLY VOLTAGE. THIS
INSTRUMENT SHOULD NOT BE USED TO MEASURE POWER LINES.
* The term of “POWER LINE”means the electrical circuit providing the
power to factories, buildings, and etc.
△
!WARNING
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not make measurements if the case
is damaged or the rear case is removed. Remove all electrical inputs before
removing the rear case.
△
!WARNING
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK or FIRE HAZARD. Do not expose this
tester to rain or moisture. Do not operate the tester in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes.
△
!CAUTION
To avoid damage to the tester, disconnect test leads before changing
functions. Do not exceed the maximum input limits.
4-3. Measurement of Resistance and Continuity Check
①Set the power switch to "ON" position.
②Connect the plug of red test lead into
the “Ω”terminal and the plug of black
test lead into the “COM”terminal.
③Set the range selector switch to “Ω”or
“･)))2K Ω”range.
④Contact the tips of the teat leads to the
circuit under test.
⑤Read the resistance value in the display.
In continuity check, if the circuit under test has a resistance of less than
approximately 300Ω, the continuity beeper will sound.
△
!CAUTION
Be sure all voltage is turned OFF in the circuit before making resistance
measurement.

4-4. Measurement of Diode
①Set the power switch to "ON" position.
②Connect the plug of red test lead into the “｜”terminal and the plug of black
test lead into the “COM”terminal.
③Set the range selector switch to “｜”range.
④Contact the tips of the test leads to the diode under test.

Fig. 4
As shown in Fig.4 (a), when measuring the forward voltage across the diode, a
normal diode will indicate 0.4 to 0.7V and, as shown in Fig.4 (b) the reverse voltage
will indicate a value near 1.500. For a short-circuited diode, a value near 0mV will be
displayed.
△
!CAUTION
Be sure all voltage is turned OFF in the circuit before making diode test.
5. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES AND
When the battery voltage falls below a specified voltage value, the "B" mark will
appear in the display. If this occurs, replace the two batteries with new ones as
quickly as possible.
Turn the power switch to "OFF", prior
to installing batteries.
To install the batteries, remove the
battery cover located on the unit back.
Loosen the screw on the battery cover.
Replace the two batteries (UM-4 or
type AAA) with new ones, observing
polarity. Use high-quality batteries
which are guaranteed against leakage. OPEN
If the instrument is to be left unused
for long periods of time, to prevent
damage from leakage, remove the batteries. Battery Cover
