Measurement Operation
Before measurement, anticlockwise circumgyrate the
red cover and rock the input terminal.
When all themeasurement has been completed,
deasil circumgyrate the red cover then hide the input
terminal. (see figure 3)

1. AC / DC Voltage auto Measurement.
Warning
To avoid harm to the Meter, never input higher than
300V voltage although it is possible to measure
higher voltage.
To measure Voltage, connect the Meter as follows:
● Set the switch to V .
● Auto measuremeng mode is a default. Under this
mode can measure AC voltage and DC voltage.
● Connect the test leads across with the object
being measured. The measured value shows on
the display.
● When voltage measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the testing
leads and the circuit under test, and remove the
testing leads away from the input terminal of the
meter.
Note:
The threshold voltage of AC voltage is around 400mV.
2. DC Voltage Measurement
Warning
To avoid harm to the Meter, never input higher than
300V voltage although it is possible to measure
higher voltage.
● Set the switch to V .
● Press SELECT to select DC voltage measurement
mode.
● Connect the test leads across with the object
being measured. The measured value shows on
the display.
● When voltage measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the testing
leads and the circuit under test, and remove the
testing leads away from the input terminal of the
meter.

Operating Manual
Overview
This Operating Manual covers information on safety
and cautions. Please read the relevant information
carefully and observe all the Warnings and Notes
strictly.
Warning
To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the
"Safety Information" and "Rules for Safe Operation"
carefully before using the Meter.
The Model UT118A and UT118B (hereafter referred
to as “the Meter”) are 3000 counts pen type digits
millimeters. The Meter uses large scale of integrated
circuit with professional multimeter IC as its core and
has full range overload protection.
The Meter measures or tests the following:
● AC/DC voltage
● EF Function (UT118B only)
● Resistance
● Diode
● Continuity
● Capacitance
Unpacking Inspection
Open the package case and take out the Meter.
Check the following items carefully to see any
missing or damaged part:
Item Description Qty
1 English Operating Manual 1 piece
2 Test Lead 1 pair
In the event you find any missing or damage, please
contact your dealer immediately.
Safety Information
This Meter complies with standards EN61010: in
pollution degree 2, over voltage category (CATIII
300V) and double insulation.
CATIII: Distribution level, fixed installation, with
smaller transient over voltages than CAT IV.
Use the Meter only as specified in this operating
manual, otherwise the protection provided by the
Meter may be impaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions
and actions that pose hazards to the user, or may
damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
A Note identifies the information that user should pay
attention on.
Rules For Safe Operation
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the
equipment under test, adhere to the following rules:
●Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do not
use the Meter if it is damaged or the case (or part
of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or missing
plastic. Pay attention to the insulation around the
connectors.
●Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity.
Replace damaged test leads with identical model
number or electrical specifications before using the
Meter.
●When using the test leads, keep your fingers
behind the finger guards.
●Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as
marked on the Meter, between the terminals or
between any terminal and grounding.
●When the Meter working at an effective voltage
over 60V DC or 30V AC, special care should be
taken for there is danger of electric shock.
●Use the proper function, and range for your
measurements.
●Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high
voltage capacitors before testing current, resistance,
diodes or continuity.
●Replace the battery as soon as the battery
indicator appears. With a low battery, the Meter
might produce false readings that can lead to electric
shock and personal injury.
●Whe n ser vi c in g t he M e te r, use o nly t he
same model or identical electrical specifications
replacement parts.
●The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be
altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any
accident.
●Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to
clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No
abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the
surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and
accident.
●Do not use or store the Meter in an environment
of high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable
and strong magnetic field. The performance of the
Meter may deteriorate after dampened.

2. HOLD
Press HOLD to enter and exit hold mode (except
under auto scan mode).
Press and hold the HOLD button more than 2
seconds, the meter automatically holds the value
which obtains at 6 seconds later, at this time, is
displayed and flickering.
If enter “sleep” mode under hold mode, the meter still
in the hold mode when it be turned on.
3. MAX/MIN
The MAX/MIN mode stores minimum (MIN) and
maximum (MAX)input values (except under auto scan
mode). Manual ranging comes when you select this
function.
Press MAX/MIN button MAX MIN MAX/MIN
and vice versa.
Under hold mode and max/min mode, should exit hold
mode first then press and hold MAX/MIN more than 1
second to exit max/min mode.

once to turn the display backlight and test lead light
on and press again to turn the display backlight and
test lead light off. It will automatically off after around
1 minute.
5. AUTO POWER OFF
To preserve battery life, the Meter automatically goes
into a “sleep” mode if you do not press any button for
around 10 minutes. The Meter can be activated by
pressing any button, then returns to the display for the
function selected previously
6. BUZZER
The buzzer phonate go with every time button be
effectual pressed. When the meter will auto power off
in 20 seconds the buzzer beeps three times. Before
power off there will be a long time buzzer beeps.
