Note In the capacitance measurement mode, the symbol “0L” appears on the display when the maximum range is exceeded.
When measuring a high value capacitor, it may take a few seconds to get a stable reading.
Warning Before measuring capacitance, it is important to discharge any residual charge from the capacitor to prevent damage to the
meter or a hazardous situation
Diode Test
1. Turn the rotary switch to( ) setting. Insert the black test lead into the "COM" terminal and the red test lead into the "V" terminal.
2. Connect the red test lead probe to the anode of the diode to be measured and black test lead prone to cathode.
3. The meter will display approximate forward voltage of the diode. If the diode is open circuit (broken) or in reverse polarity, the screen
will display “0L”.
Note A working diode in the circuit should generate a forward voltage drop of 0.5Vto 0.8V.
Audible Continuity Test
1. Turn the rotary switch to ( ) setting. Insert the black test lead into the "COM" terminal and the red test lead into the "V" terminal.
2. Connect test leads probes to two points on the circuit to be tested. If the resistance between the two points is less than 30Ω, the green
LED on the meter lights up and the buzzer sounds to indicate continuity between the test points. The resistance value between the
test point is also displayed on the LCD screen.
Live wire Test
1. Turn the rotary switch to LIVE setting. The readings on the display should show “----“. Insert only the red test lead into the "V"
terminal.
2. Connect or insert the probe into the Live terminal of an AC power socket or move it closer to a Live wire. On detecting the AC Voltage,
the meter will display word ‘LIVE’ on the LCD screen. Additionally, the two RED LEDs on the meter will light up and the buzzer will start
to sound.
NCV (Non-contact Voltage) Test
1. Turn the rotary switch to NCV setting.
2. NCV test probe is integrated at the top of meter and is marked NCV. To determine the presence of an AC voltage or electromagnetic
field near an object (socket, wire) ,move the NCV probe closer to the object.
3. On sensing the AC voltage, the LCD screen, NVC LED indicator and the buzzer will indicate the presence and strength of the
electromagnetic field.
• If the detected AC voltage is low, the LCD screen displays “--L”, the green LED lights up and the buzzer sounds continuously.
• If the detected AC voltage is low, the LCD screen displays “-H”, the two red LEDs light up and the buzzer sounds continuously at a
higher frequency.
Battery Measurement
1. Insert the black test lead into the "COM" terminal and the red test lead into the "VmA" terminal.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the required battery measurement setting .i.e., 9V or 1.5V.
3. Connect the red probe to the “+” end of the battery and the black probe to the “-” end of the battery.
4. Read the battery voltage on the LCD display.
Frequency Measurement
1. When in AC measurement mode, press Hz button to view the frequency of the AC voltage or AC current on the LCD screen.
2. To exit the frequency measurement mode, press Hz button again.
Battery Replacement
Appearance of the battery symbol on the LCD display indicates low battery. Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator
appears. Before replacing the battery, make sure lest leads are disconnected from any circuit under test.
1. Turn the rotary switch to OFF position. To remove the battery cover, unscrew the retaining screw at the rear of the device.
2. Remove the old battery and replace with a new one. Screw in place the battery compartment cover.
Fuse Replacement
1. Turn the rotary switch to OFF position. Unscrew and remove the back cover of the meter housing to access the PCB.
2. Remove the faulty fuse with a new fuse of the same rating. Screw in place the back cover.
