SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Take readings in a safe work environment. Do not use in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose to rain. Do not use in the presence of flammable gases
or liquids.
3. Keep children, bystanders and visitors away from the work area.
Distraction can cause you to lose control.
4. Store unused equipment. When not in use, store this tool in a dry location
to prevent rust. Always lock up tools and keep them out of reach of children.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Never apply voltage to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum of 690V.
2. Keep your hands and fingers behind the barriers during
measurements.
3. Never unlock and open the battery case during measurements.
4. Verify proper operation on a known source before taking action
as a result of the indication.
5. Never make any measurement in any abnormal conditions, such
as a broken case or exposed metal parts are present on the
instrument to test probes.
6. Do not modify the instrument.
7. Use extreme caution when the Live Circuit LED flashes or lights on.
8. The correct indication of LEDs is only guaranteed within a
temperature range of -10°C up to 55°C (<85% RH).

PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
AUTO POWER-ON
1. Short-circuiting the probes (as
illustrated in Fig. 1) powers on the
instrument automatically and goes
into a Self-Diagnostic Test.
NOTE: Instrument may power on due to the
influence of static charge.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
WARNING! Do not use the instrument when an abnormality is
found during the self-diagnostic test.
1. Battery voltage is normal when the Power LED lights up.
2. When the battery voltage is below 2.4±0.1V, the Power LED
flashes or goes off.
3. To replace batteries, see page 9.
4. If the self-diagnostic test cannot be performed before/after use of
the instrument, or the auto power off does not work :
• Unlock the battery case as shown on page 9 then lock it again after
5 seconds.
• Perform another self-diagnostic test.
MEASUREMENT
A self diagnostic test should be done prior to taking any measurements, in
order to ensure the proper working of the LED and buzzer. Test the instrument
on a known source before and after use. Keep your hands and fingers behind the barriers
on the probes during measurements.

VOLTAGE TEST (DOUBLE POLE TEST)
1. Connect both probes to the object under test.
2. Voltage is indicated by LEDs and on the LCD
(model 7339).
3. To see how the voltage polarity is indicated
see Fig 3.
Note :
When the L2 probe + is the positive
(negative) potential, the Polarity Indication
LED indicates "+DC" ("-DC").
Tip:
With the L1 probe on the probe clip, you can change
the spacing between the probes using only one hand.
Live circuit LED lights up:
≥7V

HIGH VOLTAGE INDICATION
1. Grasp the instrument firmly and
connect both probes to the object
under test.
2. The live circuit LED ( ) lights up
when a voltage of approx. 100V
AC or more exists in the object
under test (Pol≥100V AC).

PHASE ROTATION TEST
Left LED and right LED for phase rotation test may operate on various
wiring systems, but effective testing results can be obtained only on three-
phase, 4-wire systems.
1. Grasp the instrument firmly
and connect both probes to
the object under test (grasp
method shown below).
2. Phase-to-phase voltage is
indicated by each voltage
LED.
3. Right LED indicates that the
field is rotating towards the
right direction of the probe
- with this connection, the
motor will go in a positive
rotation.
4. Left LED indicates that the
field is rotating towards the
left direction of the probe
- with this connection, the
motor will go in a negative
rotation.
THE PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The instrument detects the phase rising order regarding the user as EARTH.
NOTE:
Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the insulation
condition of user or of the equipment under test is not enough.

CONTINUITY TEST
Warning! Make sure the object under test isn't live.
Instrument operates as follows when measuring continuity:
1. LED RX/Ω should be lighted, and the buzzer should sound
continuously.
Note:
In continuity mode the instrument works in the same way as the self-diagnostic
test.
PEN LIGHT FUNCTION
Equipped pen light illuminates the measurement point in dimly lit areas.
1. Pressing the pen light switch turns the light on.
Note:
The light is available while the instrument is powered on. Using
the pen light shortens the battery life.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Warning! Remove the probes
from any testing point when
opening the battery case.
Batteries are dead when the power
LED flashes or goes off during the
self-diagnostic test. Follow the procedure below
and replace batteries with new
ones (type IEC LR03 1.5V).
1. Unlock the battery case with a coin-shaped object.
2. Pull out the battery case and replace the batteries. Insert new
batteries according to the engraving on the battery case.
3. Insert the battery case into the instrument and firmly lock the case
again.
Warning! Confirm that the battery case is properly locked
prior to taking measurements.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
1. Use a lightly damp cloth with mild detergent for cleaning the
instrument. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
2. Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, high temperatures
and humidity or dew fall.
3. Put the probe protection cover on the tips while not in use to
prevent injury.
4. Remove batteries when not using the instrument for extended
periods.
5. Do not install the battery case without batteries.
6. Operate the instrument only as shown in this manual.
MEASUREMENT CATEGORY
Category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage installation.
Category III is for measurements performed in the building installation.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
1. Do not dispose electrical appliances as regular waste. Contact your
local government for information regarding facilities available that collect and
specialize in electronic waste.
2. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, it is
possible that hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater
and eventually get into the food chain.
INGRESS PROTECTION (IP) RATINGS
Ingress protection numbers are used to specify the environmental
protection - the electrical enclosure - of electrical equipment. The IP rating
normally has two numbers:
1. The first number - Protection against solid objects.
2. The second number - Protection against liquids.
IP64
The instrument is totally protected against dust and water sprayed from
all directions.
