The Meter can measure Frequency or Duty Cycle while making either an AC Voltage or AC Current measurement.
To measure frequency or Duty Cycle:
1. With the meter in the desired function (AC Voltage or AC Current), press the Hz % key.
2. Read the frequency of the AC signal on the display.
3. To make a duty cycle measurement, press the Hz % key again.
4. Read the percent of duty cycle on the display.
5. Set the rotary switch to the Hz range.
6. Insert the black and red test leads into the COM and Hz input terminals.
7. Connect the test leads tip in parallel with the circuit to be measured. And don’t touch any electrical conductors.
8. At frequency measuring status, press Hz % one time then meter enters duty cycle measuring status, press it
again then return to frequency measuring status.
9. Read the result directly from the display.
NOTE:
In noisy environment, it is preferable to use shield cable for measuring small signal
3.2.7 Temperature measurement
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not apply more than 250Vdc or
220Vac rms between the °C/ °F terminal and the COM terminal.
To avoid electrical shock, do not use this instrument when voltages at the measurement surface
exceed 60v dc or 24v rms. Ac.
To avoid damage or burns. Do not make temperature measurement in microwave ovens.
To measure temperature:
1. Set the rotary switch to / °F range and the LCD will show the current environment temperature.
2. Insert ‘K’ type thermocouples into the COM terminal and / °F terminal (or you can insert it by using Multi
Function Socket)Takings care to observe the correct polarity.
3. Touch the object with the thermocouple probe for measurement.
4. Read the stable reading from LCD.
