SAFETY NOTES
•Do not exceed the maximum allowable measurement ranges.
•Set the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.
•Remove the batteries if the meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.
WARNINGS
•Do not install the flexible current probe around bare conductors carrying a voltage
ranging from 30V to 600V unless wearing protective clothing and gloves suitable for
high-voltage work.
•Always inspect and check any damage of the current probe assembly before usage.
Do not use the flexible current probe if any damage is found.
•Do not use the meter on circuits rated higher then 600V.
•Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.
•When measuring voltage do not switch to the current mode.

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 and clamp jaw from circuits or devices under test before
replacing the battery or fuses.
•Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC
rms. 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
NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation
manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when the
meter is not in use.
AC True RMS Current Measurements
WARNING: Ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the meter before making
current clamp measurements.
1. Set the Function switch to the Aposition.
2. Select the fundamental frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) with the 50Hz-60Hz push-button.
The LCD display will reflect the selected
frequency.
3. Open the clamp loop by pressing the latch tabs
and disconnecting the clamp coupling connector.
4. Fully enclose only one conductor centered inside
the clamp loop. Allow at least 25mm between the
conductor and the clamp coupling connector.
5. The meter’s LCD will display the current (A) and
frequency (Hz) readings.
Note: For measurements lower than 3A, the meter’s
frequency display will indicate ‘0’.
‘OL’ is displayed when the measurement exceeds
the specified maximum limit.
AC True RMS Voltage Measurements
WARNING: Maximum input is 600Vac rms. Do not attempt to take any voltage
measurement that exceeds this limit. Exceeding the limit could cause electrical shock and
damage to the meter.
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red test lead into the
positive Vterminal.
2. Set the function switch to the Vposition.
3. Select the fundamental frequency (50Hz or 60Hz)
with the 50Hz-60Hz push-button. The LCD display
will reflect the selected frequency.
4. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit under
test.
5. Read the voltage measurement (V) and frequency
(Hz) on the LCD display. ‘OL’ is displayed when the
measurement exceeds the specified maximum limit.
Note: For measurements lower than 30V, the
meter’s frequency display will indicate ‘0’.

DATA HOLD, MAX-MIN, and PEAK Modes
1. Measure current or voltage as previously described.
2. Press the HOLD button to access the Data Hold mode; an Hicon will be displayed.
Use the Data Hold mode to freeze a displayed reading.
3. Press again to access the MAX mode. In the MAX mode, only the highest reading will
be displayed. The MAX icon will be indicated on the LCD display.
4. Press again to access the MIN mode. In the MIN mode, only the lowest reading will
be displayed. The MIN icon will be indicated on the LCD display.
5. Press again to access the PEAK mode. The PEAK display icon will be indicated on
the LCD display.
6. Press and hold the HOLD button for 3 seconds to return to the normal operating
mode.
Note: The sampling time of the PEAK Mode is 39µS (50Hz) or 33µS (60Hz).
HOLD, MAX and MIN display the TRMS value
Automatic Power OFF
In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically turn off after approximately 15
minutes. To turn the meter on again, turn the function switch to the OFF position and then
to the desired function position.
To defeat the Auto Power OFF feature, press and hold the HOLD button while turning the
meter on.
