Maintenance(1)
This section provides basic maintenance information including battery and fuse
replacement instructions.
Warning
Do not attempt to repair or service your Meter unless you are qualified to do
so and have the relevant calibration, performance test, and service information.
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the Meter, do not get water inside the
case.
A. General Service
l Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
l To clean the terminals with cotton bar with detergent, as dirt or moisture in the
terminals can affect readings.
l Turn the Meter to OFF position when it is not in use and take out the battery
when not using for a long time.
l Do not store the Meter in a place of humidity, high temperature, explosive,
inflammable and strong magnetic field.

Maintenance(3)
B. Replacing the Battery (see figure 8)
Warning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to
possible electric shock or personal injury,
replace the battery as soon as the battery
indicator “ ”appears.
To replace the battery:
1. Disconnect the connection between the test
leads and the circuit under test, and remove
the test leads from the input terminals of the
Meter.
2. Turn the Meter to OFF position.
3. Remove the screw from case bottom, and
separate the case bottom from the case top.

C. Replacing the Fuses (see figure 8)
Warning
To avoid electrical shock,arc blast, personal injury or damage to the Meter,
use specified fuses ONLY in accordance with the following procedure.
To replace the Meter’s fuse:
1. Disconnect the connection between the test leads and the circuit under test,
and remove the test leads from the input terminals of the Meter.
2. Turn the Meter to OFF position.
3. Remove the screws from case bottom, and separate the case bottom from the
case top.
Maintenance(4)
4. Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery with a new 1.5V AAA battery.
6. Rejoin the case bottom and case top, and reinstall
the screw.

4. Remove the fuse by gently prying one end loose, and then take out the fuse
from its bracket.
6. Rejoin the case bottom and case top, and reinstall the screw.
Replacement of the fuses is seldom required. Burning of a fuse always results from
improper operation.
5. Install ONLY replacement fuses with the identical type and specification as
follows and make sure the fuse is fixed firmly in the bracket.
Fuse 1:500mA 250 V, fast type, 5x20mm.

C. DC Current Measurement (see figure 4)
Warning
Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement
where the voltage between terminals and ground
is greater than 60V . If the fuse burns out during
measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the
operator may be injured. Use proper terminals,
function, and range for the measurement. When
the test leads are connected to the current
terminals, do not parallel them across any circuit.
Measurement Operation (4)
(figure 4)
To measure current, do the following:
1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all high-
voltage capacitors.

Measurement Operation (5)
2. Insert the red test lead into the VΩmA or 10A terminal and the black test lead
into the COM terminal.
3. Set the rotary switch to an appropriate measurement position in A range. DC
measurement is default or press SELECT button to select DC measurement mode.
4. Break the current path to be tested. Connect the red test lead to the more positive
side of the break and the black test lead to the more negative side of the break.
5. Turn on power to the circuit. The measured value shows on the display.
Note
l If the value of current to be measured is unknown, use the maximum measurement
position (10A) and reduce the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is
obtained.
l When current measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection
between the testing leads and the circuit under test.
