SAFETY NOTES
Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function
Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.
Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use.
WARNINGS
Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.
When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.
Do not measure current on a circuit whose voltage exceeds 240V.
When changing ranges using the selector switch always disconnect the test leads from
the circuit under test.
Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.
CAUTION !!
Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and
understand this user manual before operating the meter.
Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery.
Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before
operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.
Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than
25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.
Remove the battery if the meter is to be stored for long periods.
Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before
performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the
uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should
be used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

OPERATION
NOTICES: Read and understand all warning and precaution statements listed in the
safety section of this operation manual prior to using this meter. Set the function
select switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.
DC/AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are
disconnected from the meter before making current
clamp measurements.
1. Set the Function switch to the 1000A, 400A, or
40A range. If the range of the measured is not known,
select the higher range first then move to the lower
range if necessary.
2. Select DC or AC by pressing MODE button.
3. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose over one
conductor wire to be measured.
4. The clamp meter LCD will display the reading.
DC/AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are
disconnected from the meter before making current
clamp measurements.
1. Insert Black test lead into negative (COM) jack and Red test lead into positive (V) jack.
2. Set the function switch to the V position.
3. Select AC or DC with the MODE button.

RESISTANCE AND CONTINUITY MEASUREMENTS
1. Insert Black test lead into the negative COM jack and Red test lead into the Positive
(V) jack.
2. Set the function switch to the •))) position.
3. Use the multifunction MODE button to select resistance.
4. Touch test probe tips across the circuit or component under
test. IMPORTANT: It is best to disconnect one side of the device under test so
the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.
5. For Resistance tests, read the resistance on the LCD display.
6. For Continuity tests, if the resistance is < 100, a tone will sound.
DIODE MEASUREMENTS
1. Insert Black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and Red test lead
banana plug into the positive diode jack.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the •))) position.
3. Press the MODE button until “ “ appears in the display.
4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V.
Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0mV and an open
device will indicate “OL” in both polarities.
CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and
discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the
batteries and unplug the line cords.
1.Set the Rotary Function switch to the cap position.
2.Insert Black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.
Insert Red test lead banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3.Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested.
4.Read the capacitance value in the display
FREQUENCY AND DUTY CYCLE % MEASUREMENTS
1. Set the function switch to the (V) position.
2. Insert the Black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the Red lead
banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3. Select Hz or % duty with the (Hz/%)button.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
5. Read the frequency on the display.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING:To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any source of
voltage before making a temperature measurement.
1. Set the function switch to TEMP
2. Insert Temperature Probe into negative (COM) and (V) jacks, making
sure to observe the correct polarity
3. Select C or F with the MODE button
4. Touch Temperature Probe head to the surface area you wish to measure.
Maintain constant contact with the part under test until the reading stabilizes
(approx. 30 seconds)
5. Read the temperature in the display. The digital reading will indicate the proper
decimal point and value
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been
removed before changing to another measurement function
DATA HOLD AND BACKLIGHT
To freeze the LCD meter reading, press the data hold button. The Data Hold button is
located on the left side of the meter (top button). While data hold is active, the HOLD
display icon appears on the LCD. Press the data hold button again to return to normal
operation.
Note: The HOLD feature will activate when the Backlight is turned on. Press the HOLD key again
to exit Hold.
The backlight function illuminates the display and is used when the ambient light to too low
to permit viewing of the displayed readings. Press the (HOLD) button for one second to
turn the backlight on and press the button a second time to turn the backlight off.
MANUAL RANGING FEATURE
Auto-Ranging is meter’s default setting. To deactivate press the Range button to go to
manual ranging. Each press of the range button will step to the next range as indicated by
the units and decimal point location. Press and hold the Range button for two seconds to
return to Auto-Ranging. NOTE: Manual ranging does not function in the AC Current,
Diode, and Continuity check functions
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Remove Phillips head screw from back of meter
2. Open battery compartment
3. Replace dead battery with one “9V” battery (NEDA1604, 6F22 006P)
4. Re-assemble the meter
