Summary of UT30 Series DMM
A.Introduction
UT30 series Multimeter is 3 1/2 digits with steady operations,fashionable
structure and highly reliable hand-held measuring instrument. The meter
can measure DC/AC voltage, DC/AC current, Resistance, Frequency,
Temperature, Diode, Transistor hFE, and Continuity. It is an ideal tool for
maintenance.

B. Safety Rules(1)
CAUTION-FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE, REPLACE
ONLY WITH FUSE OF THE SPECIFIED VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
RATINGS.
l Do not operate the meter unless the bottom case has been closed as
terminal can carry voltage.
l Inspect the insulation of the test leads and make sure there is no
damage to the test leads before using the meter.
l As soon as the battery indicator’s” “±appear, replace the battery to
ensure accurate readings.
l Set the meter to suitable function and range before each measurement.
l Tested values over the maximum range of each measurement can
cause damages to the meter or electric shock to users.
l To avoid damages of the meter, do not turn the rotary switch during
measurement.
l When measuring voltage higher than DC 60V or AC 30Vrms, pay
extra attention to avoid electric shock.

l Make sure to replace right type and right rating fuse.
l Do not operate or store the Meter under high temperature or humid
condition.
l Do not change internal circuit to avoid damages to the meter and
danger to the user.
l Periodically wipe the case with damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not
use abrasives and solvents.
l The meter is designed to withstand the stated maximum voltages.
If it’s not possible to exclude, without doubts, that impulses, transients,
disturbance or for other reasons these voltages are exceeded, a
suitable prescaler (1:10) must be used.

G.Make Measurements(1)
First, set rotary switch to proper position. When the battery is low,“ ”will
appear on LCD. Second, the “ ” symbol beside the input jack warns you
when testing current and voltage. Input values must not exceed the limit.
1.DC Voltage Measurement(see figure 2)
( figure 2)
17
Model UT30B/C/D/F: OPERATING MANUAL

1) Never measure voltage value exceeding 500V, although it is possible
to get the reading. This may cause damages to the internal circuit and
danger to users;
2) Set rotary switch to maximum range, if the voltage value to be tested
is unknown. Then according to reading requirement adjust to a lower
range until satisfactory reading is obtained.
3) If “1”or “OL” is shown on LCD, set to the higher range because the
selected range is overloaded.
4) At every range, input impedance is 10MΩThis can cause measuring
tolerance at high impedance, If circuit impedance is equal to or less
than 10kΩ ,you can ignore the tolerance(0.1% or lower).

3. DC Current Measurement(see figure 4)
1) Do not measure when value between open voltage and earth is
exceeding safety voltage 60V because it may cause damages to the
measuring object or instrument and also hurt the user.
