-Quick Start (BM27 & BM25 o ly)

AutoCheck

mode is the default function in “Auto V.Ω” position. Press the SELECT button momentarily to select

and step through the functions: AutoCheck

→Continuity→EF→ACV→DCV→

Ω

→Hz→Cx→AutoCheck

-AutoCheck

mode (BM27 & BM25 o ly)

This innovative AutoCheck

feature automatically selects measurement function of DCV, ACV or esistance (Ω)

based on the input via the test leads.

●With no input, the meter displays “Auto” when it is ready.

●With no voltage signal but a resistance below 6MΩ is present, the meter displays the resistance value. When

below 25Ω is present, the meter (BM27only) further gives a continuity beep tone.

●When a signal above the threshold of DC 1.2V or AC 1.5V up to the rated 600V (450V for BM25) is present, the

meter displays the appropriate voltage value in DC or AC, whichever larger in peak magnitude.

●Overload-Alert Feature: When above rated 600V (450V for BM25) is present, the meter displays “OL” with a

warning beep tone. Disconnect the test leads from the signal immediately to avoid hazards.

Note:

*Range-Lock Feature: When me surement re ding is being displ yed in AutoCheck

mode, press the

SELECT button moment rily 1 t me c n lock the function-r nge it w s in. The LCD nnunci tor “ ” turns

off. R nge-lock c n speed up repetitive me surements. Press the SELECT button moment rily g in to return to

AutoCheck

mode.

*Hazardous-Alert: When m king resist nce me surements in AutoCheck

mode, n unexpected displ y of

volt ge re dings lerts you th t the p rt under test is still energized.

*AutoCheck

nomin l input imped nces re slightly lower th n th t of common digit l multimeters. They re, in

f ct, more simil r to th t of most tr dition l n log multimeters. “LoZ” will displ y on the LCD to remind the users

in such c ses. Although not likely, if such imped nce might d m ge your circuits, use the common imped nce (Hi-

Z) volt ge mode (BM27 nd BM22 only) for m king volt ge me surements on them.

-Co ti uity, Audible With Symbolic Display (BM27 & BM25 o ly)

From AutoCheck

with “Auto” being displayed, press the SELECT button momentarily 1 time to select Continuity

function. The meter displays a symbolic open-switch display “ ” when it is ready. Continuity is convenient for

checking wiring connections and operation of switches. A continuous beep tone with a symbolic closed-switch

display “ ” indicates a complete circuit. In noisy environments, it is helpful to “see” continuity measurements.

-Electric Field EF-Detectio (BM27 & BM25 o ly)

From AutoCheck

with “Auto” being displayed, press the SELECT button momentarily 2 times to select EF-

Detection feature. The meter displays “EF” when it is ready. Signal strength is indicated as a series of bar-graph

segments on the display and variable beep tones.

●Non-Contact EF-Detect on: An antenna is located at the top left corner of the meter, which detects electric field

surrounds current-carrying conductors. It is ideal for tracing live wiring connections, locating wiring breakage and to

distinguish between live or earth connections.

5) MAINTENANCE

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock, disconnect test leads from live circuits before opening the case. Do not operate with

open case.

Clea i g a d Storage

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives or solvents. If the meter is

not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the battery and store it separately

Trouble Shooti g

If the instrument fails to operate, check battery, leads, etc., and replace as necessary. Double check operating

procedure as described in this user’s manual

If the instrument voltage-resistance input has subjected to high voltage transient (mostly caused by lightning or

switching surge to your system) by accident or abnormal conditions of operation, the series fusible resistors will be

blown off (become high impedance) like fuses to protect the user and the instrument. Most measuring functions

through this input will then be open circuit. The series fusible resistors and the spark gaps should then be replaced

by qualified technician. efer to the LIMITED WA ANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.

Battery replaceme t

If the meter starts up with persistent resetting display or with low battery icon turns on, replace the battery

ASAP. The meter uses one 3V coin battery IEC-C 2032.

Before opening the case bottom, make sure the meter is switched off to avoid abrupt power reset to a running

meter system. Disconnect test leads from live circuits. Loosen the screw from the case bottom. Lift the end of the

case bottom nearest the input test leads until it unsnaps from the case top. eplace the battery. Observe battery

polarities with positive (+) faces up (towards the case bottom). eplace the case bottom, and ensure that the snap

on the case top (near the LCD side) is engaged. e-fasten the screw.

Note for BM27 nd BM25 b ttery repl cement:

*BM27 nd BM25 use micro-controller (like computer) to run the meter system. WHEN THE METER IS POWER-

ON, intermittence b ttery power f ilure (f st intermittence b ttery cont ct interv l in the order of millisecond) m y
