5 Switching on / switching off
To turn on the meter, turn the rotary measuring switch to the desired measuring function. To turn
off the meter, turn the rotary measuring switch back to "OFF". After switching on, the following
functions are available for the individual measuring functions:
6 Hold function
With the Hold function, you can freeze the displayed reading by pressing and releasing the "Hold"
key once. Pressing it again resumes the measurement.
7 Backlight
To turn the backlight on and off, press and hold the key for two seconds.
8 Toggle subfunctions
After you have set your desired measuring function, you can also set a sub-function. To do this,
press the "SEL" key until you get the desired function.
9 Measurement
The meter has different electronic measuring methods. These can be used as follows.
9.1 Voltage measurement
To perform a voltage measurement, first set the rotary measuring switch to . Then connect the
test leads to the meter. Use the "SEL" key to select DC or AC voltage. Now touch your sample
with the test tips. The measured value will then be displayed.
Note: With the smaller measurement ranges, a measured value can be displayed even if the
measuring cable is not connected. This is due to the sensitivity of the measuring instrument. As
soon as the measuring instrument is connected to the test sample, the correct measured value
is displayed.

9.1.1 Frequency measurement with a parallel connection
To make a frequency measurement with the current parallel connection now, press the "Hz" key.
The current reading is displayed directly. Thisfunction is only availableif thecurrent measurement
is set to alternating current. To return to the original measuring mode, press the "Hz" key again.
9.2 Current measurement
To make a current measurement, first turn the rotary measuring switch to .
Then plug the test leads into the meter. Use the "SEL" key to select DC or AC voltage. Now touch
your sample with the test tips. The measured value will then be displayed.
9.2.1 Frequency measurement with a series connection
To make a frequency measurement with the current series connection now, press the "Hz" key.
The current measured value is displayed directly. This function is only available if the current
measurement is set to alternating current. To return to the original measuring mode, press the
"Hz" key again.
9.3 Resistance measurement, diode test, continuity test, capacitance measurement
To perform a resistance measurement, diode test, continuity test or capacitance measurement,
set the rotary measuring switch to . Then plug the test leads into the meter. Now select the
appropriate measurement function with the "SEL" key. Then connect the test lead to your test
object to perform a measurement. The measured value is shown directly on the display.
The following measurement ranges are available for the resistance measurement: 600 Ω, 6 Ω,
60 Ω, 600 kΩ, 6 Ω, 60 MΩ

For the diode test, the falling voltage at the diode is indicated. Please pay attention to the
polarity.
When measuring larger capacitors, it may take some time to charge the capacitor to determine
its capacity. Pay attention to the polarity when measuring. After a measurement, the measured
capacitors are charged. There is a risk of electric shock.
During the continuity test, an acoustic signal is triggered as soon as the measured resistance is
<50 Ω.

9.4 NCV measurement
With the NCV "Not Connected Voltage" measurement, you can measure inductively whether a
voltage is present on a line. This function is always active in addition to all other measuring
functions as soon as the measuring instrument is switched on. To do this, target the conductor to
be measured with the sensor. The meter will emit an acoustic as well as a visual pulse signal.
The interval changes depending on the intensity.
Via the "V / Alert" key, the intensity is additionally indicated on the display by means of lines.
Press this key again to return to normal measuring mode.
Note: Even if no voltage is signalled, voltage may still be present on a line. This function can also
issue a warning when measuring current or voltage directly. Motors or flashlights can also be the
reason why something is displayed.
9.5 Temperature measurement
In order to carry out a temperature measurement, turn the rotary measuring switch to " ". Now
connect a K-type thermocouple. The current measured value is displayed directly. To select one
of the units degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius, press the "SEL" key.

9.6 Phase recognition
With this meter, it is possible to distinguish the N conductor from the L conductor. To do this, set
the rotary measuring switch to "Live". Then plug a test lead into the "Input" connection. Now carry
out measurements with the measuring tip. As soon as you have found the L-wire, the display
shows "LIVE".
10 Battery replacement
As soon as the battery symbol appears, the batteries must be replaced to ensure proper function.
To replace the batteries, first remove all test leads from the meter. Then turn off the meter. Now
open the battery compartment. Now can you replace the batteries. After you have replaced the
batteries and closed the battery compartment, you can use the meter again.
11 Warranty
You can read our warranty terms in our General Business Terms which you can find here:
https://www.pce-instruments.com/english/terms.
12 Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament
applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use
them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.
For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with
your local waste regulations.
If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
