Operang Instrucons
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM” jack and the red test lead to the “INPUT ” jack
2. Set the funcon switch to V~or V range.
Select auto range or manual range with the “Range” buon.
3. In manual range, if the voltage magnitude to be measured is unknown beforehand, select the highest range.
4. Connect the test leads across the source or load to be measured.
5. Read LCD display. The polarity of the red lead connecon will be indicated when making a DC measurement.
Note:
a. In small range, the meter may display an unstable reading when the test leads have not been connected to the load to be measured. It is normal and will
not aect the measurements.
b. In manual range mode, when the meter shows the over range symbol “OL”, a higher range must to be selected.
c. To avoid damage to the meter, don’t measure a voltage which exceeds 600Vdc (for DC voltage measurement) or 600Vac (for AC voltage measurement) .
under the condions of CATIII.
Current Measurement
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM” jack. If the current to be measured is less than 600mA, connect the red test lead to the “mA” jack. If the current
is between 600mA and 10A, connect the red test lead to the “10A” jack instead.
2. Set the funcon switch to desired µA , mA or A range. If the current magnitude to be measured is not known beforehand, set the funcon switch
to the highest range posion and then reduce it range by range unl sasfactory resoluon is obtained.
3. Select DC current measurement or AC current measurement with the “Select” Buon.
4. No manual and automac range conversion for current measurement range
5. Read the reading on the display. For DC circuit measurement, the polarity of the red test lead connecon will be indicated as well.
Note: When the display shows the over range symbol “OL”, a higher range must be selected.
Resistance Measurement
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM” jack and the red to the “INPUT” jack (Note: The polarity of the red test lead is posive “+”).
2. Set the funcon switch to “
” range
3. Select auto range or manual range with the “Range” buon. In manual range, if the Resistance magnitude to be measured is not known beforehand, select
the highest range.
4. Connect the test leads across the load to be measured.
5. Read the reading on the display.
Note:
1. For resistance measurements >1MΩ, the meter may take a few seconds to stabilize reading. This is normal for high-resistance measurement.
2. When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit, the symbol “OL” will be displayed as an over range indicator.
3. Before measuring in-circuit resistance, be sure that the circuit under test has all power removed and all capacitors are fully discharged.
Connuity Test
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM” jack and the red to the “INPUT ” jack (Note: The polarity of the red test lead is posive “+”).
2. Set the funcon switch to “
” range
3. Press the “Select” Buon to select connuity measurement mode, and the symbol “ ” will appear as an indicator.
4. Connect the test leads across the load to be measured.
5. If the circuit resistance is lower than about 30Ω, the built-in buzzer will sound.
Diode Test
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM” jack and the red to the “INPUT ” jack (Note: The polarity of the red test lead is posive “+”).
2. Set the funcon witch to“
”range
3. Press the “Select” Buon to select connuity measurement mode, and the symbol “ ” will appear as an indicator.
4. Connect the red test lead to the anode of the diode to be tested and the black test lead to the cathode.
5. The meter will show the approximate forward voltage of the diode. If the connecons are reversed, “OL” will be shown on the display.
Transistor Test
1. Set the funcon switch to“hFE ”range.
2. Connect the mul-funcon socket to the “COM” jack and the “ INPUT ” jack.please see Figure Α ,Don’t reverse the connecon.
3. Idenfy whether the transistor is NPN or PNP type and locate Emier, Base and Collector lead. Insert the leads of the transistor to be tested into the prop-
er holes of the transistor test socket of the adapter.
4. LCD display will show the approximate hFE value.
Temperature Measurement
1. Set the funcon switch to “ºC/ºF” range.
2. Press the “ Select ” buon to select “°C” or “°F”mode, and the symbol “°C” or “°F” will appear as an indicator.
3. Insert the black (or “-“) plug of the K-type thermocouple to the “COM” jack, and the red( or “+”) plug to the“ INPUT ” jack.
4. Carefully touch the end of the thermocouple to the object to be measured.
5. Wait a while, read the reading on the display.
Capacitance Measurement
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM” jack and the red to the “ INPUT ” jack.
2. Set the funcon switch to “ ”range (NOTE: The polarity of the RED lead is posive “+”)
3. Connect test leads across the capacitor under measure and make sure the polarity of connecon is observed. Note: When the capacitance under measure
is more than 600uF, it needs at least 10 seconds to make readings stable.
When pin is very short of capacitance, also choose to measure with the mul—funcon socket.
