MEASURING PROCEDURE
Measuring DCV
1 Set the range selector knob to
an appropriate DCV range.
2 Apply the black test pin to the
negative potential, and the red
test pin to the positive poten-
tial of the circuit.
3 Read the movement of the
pointer by V and A scale.
WARNING
Confirm the range of use before measurement.
Preparation for Measurement
1 Adjustment of meter zero position:
Turn the zero position adjuster so that the pointer may align
right to the zero position.
2 Range selection:
Select a proper range for the item to be measured and set
the range selector knob accordingly.
When determining a measuring range, select a one higher
voltage than the value to be measured as well as where the
pointer of a meter moves to a considerable extent.
However, select the maximum range and measure in case
the extent of value to be measured can not be predicted.
NOTE
Measuring ±DCV (NULL)
1 Set the range selector knob to
an appropriate ±DCV (NULL)
range.
2 Turn the 01adjuster so
that the pointer may align
exactly to 0 by ±DCV scale.
3 Apply the black test pin to the
negative potential side, and
the red test pin to the positive
potential side of the circuit.
4 Read the movement of the pointer by ±DCV scale.
Fig. 3
Measuring ACV 〜
1 Turn the range selector knob to an appropriate ACV range.
2 Apply the test leads to the circuit to be measured.
3 Read the movement of the pointer by V and A scale. (Use
AC 10V scale for 10V range only.)
• Since this instrument provides
the mean value system for its AC
voltage measurement circuit, AC
waveform other than sine wave
may cause an error.
• Errors occur under such frequen-
cies other than those in the speci-
fication table.
Measuring DCA
1 Turn the range selector knob to an appropriate DCA range.
2 Take out the circuit to be measured and apply the black test
pin to the negative potential,
and the red test pin to the
positive potential of the cir-
cuit.
3 Read the movement of the
pointer by V and A scale.
WARNING
Connect the meter in series with the load.
Cut off.
Fig. 4
Fig. 5
Measuring 1
1 Turn the range selector knob to an appropriate 1range.
2 Short the red and black test pins and turn the 01adjuster so
that the pointer may align exactly to 01. (If the pointer fails
to swing up to 01even when the 01adjuster is turned
clockwise fully, replace the internal battery with a fresh one.)
3 Apply the test pin to measur
resistance.
4 Read the movement of the point-
er by 1scale.
Note: The polarity of + and - is
reverse to that of the test
leads when measurement is
done in 1range.
Note: How to replace battery.
1 Loosen the screws fixing the rear
case and remove it.
2 Replace R6 (UM-3) to fresh dry
batterise.
3 Put back the rear case where it
was, and fix it with the screws.
Note:
Be sure to use the same rated
fuse. In case a fuse other than
the same rate (see “SPECIFICATIONS“) is used, an error in
indication occurs and/or circuit protection is made unable.
WARNING
Do not measure the resistance in a circuit where
a voltage is present.
Fig. 6
Fig. 7
Measuring Capacity (C)
1 Set the range selector knob to C(μF) .
2 Measure the capacitance by applying
the test pin to the capacitor to be meas-
ured after the 01adjustment is made
in the same manner as in the resist-
ance measurement.
3 The pointer moves full scale by the charge current to the
capacitor. However, the pointer gradually starts returning to its
original position. Read the indicated maximum value on C(μF)
scale.
Note: Be sure to short circuit the both ends of the capacitor for
discharge prior to the initial measurement or in such case
after the measurement is made.
Note: Pay due attention to the polarity (+ and -) of the capacitor.
(Connect + side of the capacitor to - side of the meter.)
Measuring AF Output (dB)
dB (decibel) is measured in the same way as the ACV
measurement, but by reading the dB scale instead.
For measurement on the 10V range, the dB scale (- 10dB ~
+22dB) is read directly, but, when measured on the 50V
range, 14dB is added. On the 250V range, 28dB is added to
the reading on the scale, and on the 1000V range, 40dB
added.
Thus, the maximum dB readable is 22 + 40 = 62 (dB) meas-
ured on the 1000V range.
Note: Cut direct current with a capacitor of 0.1μF or more when
measuring such signal as having direct current.

MEASURING PROCEDURE
Measuring of Iceo (Leak Current) for Transistor
1 Adjust 01by setting the range selector
knob to a proper range from X1 ~ X1k.
2 For NPN transistor, apply a black test
lead to the collector and a red one to
the emitter.
For PNP transistor, the red one to the col-
lector and the black one to the emitter.
3 Determine the leak current by ICEO
scale indicated on the scale plate. (Unit
in μA, mA)
Measuring of Diode (including LED)
1 Adjust 01by setting the range selector knob to a proper
range from X1 (150mA) ~ X100k (1.5μA).
2 Apply the black test lead to anode side and the red one to
cathode side when measuring IF (forward current). Apply
the black test lead to cathode side and the red one to anode
side when measuring IR (reverse current).
3 Read the indicated value by LI
scale. (The pointer moves to a
considerable extent for IF, and
little extent for IR)
4 The value indicated on LV scale
during the measurement is the
forward voltage of diode.

may cause an error.
• Errors occur under such frequen-
cies other than those in the speci-
fication table.
Measuring DCA
1 Turn the range selector knob to an appropriate DCA range.
2 Take out the circuit to be measured and apply the black test
pin to the negative potential,
and the red test pin to the
positive potential of the cir-
cuit.
3 Read the movement of the
pointer by V and A scale.
WARNING
Connect the meter in series with the load.
Cut off.

Measuring 1
1 Turn the range selector knob to an appropriate 1range.
2 Short the red and black test pins and turn the 01adjuster so
that the pointer may align exactly to 01. (If the pointer fails
to swing up to 01even when the 01adjuster is turned
clockwise fully, replace the internal battery with a fresh one.)
3 Apply the test pin to measur
resistance.
4 Read the movement of the point-
er by 1scale.
Note: The polarity of + and - is
reverse to that of the test
leads when measurement is
done in 1range.
Note: How to replace battery.
1 Loosen the screws fixing the rear
case and remove it.
2 Replace R6 (UM-3) to fresh dry
batterise.
3 Put back the rear case where it
was, and fix it with the screws.
Note:
Be sure to use the same rated
fuse. In case a fuse other than
the same rate (see “SPECIFICATIONS“) is used, an error in
indication occurs and/or circuit protection is made unable.
WARNING
Do not measure the resistance in a circuit where
a voltage is present.

Measuring Capacity (C)
1 Set the range selector knob to C(μF) .
2 Measure the capacitance by applying
the test pin to the capacitor to be meas-
ured after the 01adjustment is made
in the same manner as in the resist-
ance measurement.
3 The pointer moves full scale by the charge current to the
capacitor. However, the pointer gradually starts returning to its
original position. Read the indicated maximum value on C(μF)
scale.
Note: Be sure to short circuit the both ends of the capacitor for
discharge prior to the initial measurement or in such case
after the measurement is made.
Note: Pay due attention to the polarity (+ and -) of the capacitor.
(Connect + side of the capacitor to - side of the meter.)
Measuring AF Output (dB)
dB (decibel) is measured in the same way as the ACV
measurement, but by reading the dB scale instead.
For measurement on the 10V range, the dB scale (- 10dB ~
+22dB) is read directly, but, when measured on the 50V
range, 14dB is added. On the 250V range, 28dB is added to
the reading on the scale, and on the 1000V range, 40dB
added.
Thus, the maximum dB readable is 22 + 40 = 62 (dB) meas-
ured on the 1000V range.
Note: Cut direct current with a capacitor of 0.1μF or more when
measuring such signal as having direct current.

MEASURING PROCEDURE
Measuring of Iceo (Leak Current) for Transistor
1 Adjust 01by setting the range selector
knob to a proper range from X1 ~ X1k.
2 For NPN transistor, apply a black test
lead to the collector and a red one to
the emitter.
For PNP transistor, the red one to the col-
lector and the black one to the emitter.
3 Determine the leak current by ICEO
scale indicated on the scale plate. (Unit
in μA, mA)
Measuring of Diode (including LED)
1 Adjust 01by setting the range selector knob to a proper
range from X1 (150mA) ~ X100k (1.5μA).
2 Apply the black test lead to anode side and the red one to
cathode side when measuring IF (forward current). Apply
the black test lead to cathode side and the red one to anode
side when measuring IR (reverse current).
3 Read the indicated value by LI
scale. (The pointer moves to a
considerable extent for IF, and
little extent for IR)
4 The value indicated on LV scale
during the measurement is the
forward voltage of diode.

USAGE OF OPTIONAL PROBES
Usage of High Voltage Probe (HV-10T)
Up to DC 25kV of CRT anode voltage can be measured by
connecting optional HV-10T probe.
WARNING
• Keep the hand (finger) away from high voltage
power supply. Electric shock may occur due to dis-
charge.
• Measurement should be limited only to micro cur-
rent circuits.
1 Turn the range selector knob and set it to HV PROBE (DC
2.5V range).
2 Connect the jack of the black lead of the probe to the black
test pin, and the jack of the red lead to the red test pin.
3 Apply the probe clip to the earth side and the measuring pin
to the point to be measured.
4 Read out measured value on 0 ~ 250 of V scale in kV unit
after multiplying it by 0.1.
Usage of h
FE
PROBE (HFE-6T)
1 Set the range selector knob to X10 range ( h
FE
PROBE).
2 Short circuit both the red and black test pins to adjust 01.
3 Connect the black test pin to the probe jack when a transis-
tor to be measured is NPN, and the red pin to the probe
jack for PNP transistor.
4 Connect the black clip of the probe to the transistor base
and the red clip to the collector.
5 Connect the remaining test lead to the emitter and measure
h
FE
.
6 Read the indicated value of the meter on h
FE scale.
MAINTENANCE
How to Replace the Fuse
If voltage over 100V is applied
to DCA and 1ranges, the fuse
may blow out to protect the
circuit.
1 Loosen the screws fixing the
rear case and remove it.
2 Pull the fuse out of holder on the
circuit board and replace it.(Fig. 11)
3 Put back the rear case where it was and tighten the screws.
4 Check and see whether or not indications of respective
ranges are normal (check other parts for any failures).
Storage and Other Precautions
1 Avoid giving the meter any excessive shock or vibration by
loading it on the motorbike, for instance.
2 Keep off dust and moisture from the meter.
3 Do not leave the meter for a long time in places of a high
temperature (higher than 55˚C), a high humidity (higher than
80%), and dew condensation.
4 The meter cover is treated with antistatic coating. Do not
wipe it hard or clean it with volatile solvent. Use a soft
brush to remove dust.
