hFE range.
2. Determine whether the transistor to be tested is NPN or
PNP type and locate the Emitter, Base and Collector leads.
3. Insert leads of the transistor into proper holes of the hFE
socket.
4. The meter will show the approx. hFE value at test condition
of base current 10 μ A and Vce 2.8V.

The Meter's current ranges are 400.0 µ A, 4000 µ A, 40.00mA,
400.0mA, and 10.00A.
To
measure current:
1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all high voltage
capacitors.
2. Set the rotary switch to the µ A, mA or
A
range.
3. Press /

/
/ ~

~
~ key to select DCA or ACA measuring mode.
4. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the
red test leads to the mA terminal for a maximum of
400mA. For a maximum of 10A, move the red test lead
to the A terminal.
5. Break the circuit path to be tested.
Touch the black probe to the more negative side of the
break; touch the red probe to the more positive side of
the break. (Reversing the leads will give a negative
reading, but will not damage the Meter.)
6. Turn on power to the circuit; then read the display. Be
sure to note the measurement units at the right side of
the display ( µ A, mA or A). When only the figure "OL"
displayed, it indicates overrange situation and the
higher range has to be selected.
