Usage Features
Power On/Off:
- Press and hold the "U" key for about 2 seconds to turn the device on or off.
Function Selection:
- Press the "FUNC" key to cycle through different functions.
- Press and hold the "FUNC" key for about 2 seconds to return to NCV measurement mode.
- The device defaults to NCV function mode upon power-on.
Data Hold / Flashlight:
- Press the "H/*" key to toggle data holding on or off.
- Press and hold the "H/*" key for about 2 seconds to turn the flashlight on or off.
Auto Power Off:
- The meter automatically shuts down after about 15 minutes of inactivity to save battery energy. A "U" symbol on the display indicates auto power off is enabled.
NCV Measurement:
- Press the "U" key to enter NCV measurement mode.
- Gradually bring the NCV sensing area close to the conductor.
- A weak electric field signal ("---L") will cause a slow buzzer sound and a green light.
- A strong electric field signal ("---H") will cause a quick buzzer sound and a red light.
Smart (AUTO) Measurement:
- Press the "U" key to power on, then press "FUNC" to select "AUTO" gear. "Auto" will display.
- Insert the red probe into the "INPUT" jack and the black probe into the "COM" jack.
- Contact the probes with the measured subject or resistance. The meter automatically recognizes and measures DC voltage, AC voltage, resistance, or continuity.
- For resistance measurement, if the value is less than about 50Ω, the buzzer will sound.
Diode Measurement:
- Press the "U" key to power on, then press "FUNC" to select the diode gear.
- Insert the red probe into "INPUT" and the black probe into "COM".
- Connect the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode of the diode.
- Read the forward bias value. If the probes are inversely connected, "OL" will be displayed, which helps distinguish anode and cathode.
Live Wire Detecting:
- Press the "U" key to power on, then press "FUNC" to select "LIVE" gear.
- Insert the red probe into "INPUT" and remove the black probe.
- Use the red probe to contact the conductor.
- Weak signal ("---L") results in a slow buzzer and green light.
- Strong signal ("---H") results in a quick buzzer and red light.
Non-contact Phase Sequence Detection:
- Press the "U" key to power on, then press "FUNC" to select "PA" symbol.
- The letter "A" will flash. Stick the sensing probe to the first phase line and wait for a beep.
- "PAB" with "B" flashing will display. Stick the sensing probe to the second phase line and wait for a beep.
- "PABC" with "C" flashing will display. Stick the sensing probe to the third phase line and wait for a long beep.
- The display will show the detection results: "P---L" for a left-handed phase sequence, "P---R" for a right-handed phase sequence.
- Note: Detect all three wires within 1 minute to avoid a detection timeout error.
Maintenance Features
Cleaning:
- Turn off the meter and remove the probes.
- Wipe the case with a damp cloth or mild detergent.
- Do not use abrasives or solvents.
- Wipe the contacts in each input socket with a clean swab soaked in alcohol.
Battery Replacement:
- Turn off the meter and remove the probes.
- Remove the screw fixing the battery cover and then remove the battery cover.
- Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one of the same specification (2 x 1.5V AAA batteries), paying attention to the battery polarity.
- Install the battery cover back to its original position and secure it with screws.
