SAFETY NOTES

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

•Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.

•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.

•When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.

•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 or fuses.

•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.

•Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before performing

Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.

•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.

Non-Contact Voltage Detector

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a known live

circuit to verify proper operation.

1. Rotate the Function switch to any measurement position.

2. Place the detector probe tip on the conductor to be tested.

3. If AC voltage is present, the NCV detector light will turn on with

a steady red light.

NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted. For

best results, move the probe tip along a length of the cord to

assure placing the tip in close proximity to the live

conductor.

NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static

electricity or other sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation.

AC Current Measurements

WARNING: Disconnect the test leads before making clamp measurements.

1. Rotate the Function switch to the 200A position

2. Press the trigger to open jaw. Fully enclose

only one conductor.

3. Read the current value in the display.

4. If the value is less than 40A, rotate the function

switch to the 20A position to improve

resolution.

AC/DC Voltage, Frequency, Duty Cycle Measurements

CAUTION: Do not measure voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large

voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

1. Rotate the function switch to the V position.

2. Press the MODE button to select AC or DC Voltage.

3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Vjack.

4. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.

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

5. Read the voltage value in the display.

6. Press the Hz % button to display Frequency

7. Press the Hz % button to display Duty Cycle

Resistance, Diode, Continuity Measurements

Note: Remove power from the device under test before making resistance measurements

1. Set the function switch to the Ω position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Vjack.

3. Touch the black test probe tip to one side of the device.

Touch the red test probe tip to the other side of the device.

4. Read the resistance value in the display.

5. Press the MODE button to select the DIODE mode. The Diode symbol will

appear in the display.

6. Press the MODE button to select the Continuity mode. The continuity symbol

will appear in the display. If the resistance is <150 ohms the tone will sound.

Data Hold

To freeze the LCD reading, press the HOLD button. The HOLD icon appears on the LCD. Press the

HOLD button again to return to normal operation.

Relative

Press the REL button (REL will appear in the display) to zero the reading and create a reference

point. All future reading will be the difference between the actual reading and the stored “REL”

reading. In the REL mode, autoranging is disabled and measurements are limited to the range

active when the REL button was pressed. Press the REL button to exit the mode.

Note: Relative does not function in Frequency or Duty Cycle mode.

Automatic Power Off

In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically turn off after approximately 30 minutes.

To turn the meter on again, change the position of the function switch.

Low battery indication

When the icon appears in the display, the battery should be replaced. Refer to the battery

replacement procedure in the maintenance section.
