DIGITAL MULTIMETER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
1. SUMMARY
This 3 3/4 digital multimeter with highly stable performance is driven by 2 pieces 1.5V battery. It
uses a LCD with 32mm high figure, which makes the reading clearer and the operation more
convenient.
The digital multimeter holds functions of measuring DCV, ACV, DCA, ACA, resistance, capacitance,
frequency, temperature, duty cycle, transistor, diode, and continuity, etc. It also can provide special
functions including unit symbol display, data holding, relative value measuring, auto/manual range
switching (RANGE), auto power off and warning alarm. To assure high accuracy and resolution, it
adopts an 4-bit microprocessor and a dual integral A/D conversion IC as its core which can drive
LCD directly. It is an ideal tool for labs, factories and radio-technology.
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The instrument is designed according to IEC1010 standard (safety standard issued by International
Electro technical Committee). Please read the following before operation.
2.1 Check the connection and insulation of test leads to avoid electric shock.
2.2 To avoid electric shock and damage to the meter, do not input voltage higher than DC 1000V or
AC 750V during measurement.
2.3 When measuring voltage higher than DC 60V or AC 40V, please be careful.
2.4 Select correct function and range to avoid fault operation.
2.5 Please move the test leads away from test points when switching the function.
2.6 Please don’t input voltage in current terminal.
2.7 Please don’t modify the circuit arbitrarily, it may cause safety problem.
2.8 Introduction for safety symbols:
