.The meter’s digital multimeter functions provides for easy measurement of AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC

Current, Resistance, Continuity and Diode check. This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated

and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service. Please visit the Extech Instruments website

(www.extech.com) to check for the latest version of this User Guide. Extech Instruments is an ISO-

9001 certified company.

Safety Notes

Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function.

Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use.

Remove the battery if meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.

Warnings

Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.

Do not measure current on a circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V.

When changing ranges always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.

Cautions

Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and understand

this user manual before operating the meter.

Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery.

Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before operating the

meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.

Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC rms or

35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the uncertainty

of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure that

the terminals are not "live".

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided

by the equipment may be impaired.

Operation

Transmitter and Receiver Cable Tester Operation

1. Press down the receiver’s ON/OFF switch. The upper blue display will indicate “00” and the OP

LED should light.

2. Press down the transmitter’s ON switch. The OP LED will flash.

3. Connect one of the transmitter’s alligator clips (CH1 to CH16) to each core (wire) of the cable

under test.

4. Connect the transmitter’s “COM” reference lead (black alligator) to a known common for all

cables, such as ground or cable sheath.

5. Connect the receiver’s “COM terminal” (black alligator) to the common.

6. Touch the receiver’s “input terminal” (red alligator) test lead to one core of the cable under test.

7. The number of the wire selected is indicated on the display of the receiver (1-16).

CAUTION: Do not apply over 50V (AC or DCV) to test leads of transmitter or receiver. This

could result in permanent damage to the meter.

Continuity Beep Test

1. Press the ID TEST button down.

2. Connect the receiver’s red and black alligator clips to each end of a wire.

3. If there is continuity (resistance is less than the continuity threshold) there will be an audible

tone.

Voltage Check

1. Press the V check button down.

2. Connect both of the receiver’s alligator clips to each end of the cable under test.

3. If the display indicates “UU” then voltage is present on the cable. Locate and remove the

voltage source before proceeding with cable testing.

Digital Multimeter Functions

AC/DC Voltage Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive

V terminal.

2. Set the rotary function switch to VAC or VDC position.

3. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under test.

4. Read the voltage measurement on the LCD display.

CAUTION: Do not measure AC/ DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or

OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

AC/DC Current Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the µA/mA position.

2. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive

µA/mA terminal.

3. For current measurements up to 2000µA DC/AC, set the function switch to the mA position

4. Press the MODE button to indicate “DC” / “AC” on the display.

5. Connect the meter in series with the circuit under test, the black test probe tip to the negative

side of the circuit and the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

6. Apply power to the circuit.

7. Read the current in the display

Resistance Measurements

1. Set the function switch to the Ωposition.

2. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the positive

Ωterminal.

3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It is best to disconnect one side

of the part under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.

4. Read the resistance in the display

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all

capacitors before taking any resistance measurements.

CT40- EU-EN V1.7 1/13

Continuity Check

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or wires that have

voltage on them.

1. Set the function switch to the position.

2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack (COM) and the red test lead banana

plug into the positive (+) jack ().

3. Press the MODE button until the symbol appears in the display.

4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to check.

5. If the resistance is less than the continuity threshold, the audible signal will sound. The display

will also show the actual resistance.

DIODE TEST

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it.

1. Set the function switch to position.

2. Press the MODE button until the symbol appears in the display.

3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack (COM) and the red test lead

banana plug into the positive (+) jack ().

4. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction you wish to test. Note the

meter reading.

5. Reverse the probe polarity by switching probe position. Note this reading.

6. The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:

A. If one reading shows a value and the other reading shows OL, the diode is good.

B. If both readings show OL, the device is open.

C. If both readings are very small or 0, the device is shorted.

NOTE: The value indicated in the display during the diode check is the forward voltage.

MAX Hold Function

1. Press the MAX Hold Button. The meter continues taking measurements but the display shows

only the highest (MAX) reading recorded.

2. Press the Max Hold Button again to return to normal operation.

Data Hold Function

1. Press the Data Hold Button. The HOLD indicator will appear. The hold function freezes the

reading in the display.

2. Press the Data Hold Button again to return to normal operation.

Auto Power OFF Function

The auto off feature will turn the meter off after 15 minutes.
