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.

Warning! This is a class A equipment. This equipment can cause interference to devices in the

home; in this case the operator can be required to carry out adequate measures to prevent

interference.

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.

This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous objects as

well as small parts that children could swallow. In case a child swallows any of the parts,

please contact a physician immediately.

Do not leave batteries and packing material unattended; they can be dangerous for children.

In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the batteries

to prevent them from draining.

Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with skin. Always use

suitable hand protection.

Operating Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and

should be measured with great care.

NOTE: On some low AC and DC voltage ranges, with the test leads not connected to a device, the

display may show a random, changing reading. This is normal and is caused by the high-input

sensitivity. The reading will stabilize and give a proper measurement when connected to a circuit.

NON-CONTACT AC VOLTAGE DETECTOR (NCV)

The EX310 can detect the presence of AC voltage (from 100 to 600VAC) simply by being held very

near to a voltage source.

WARNING: Test the AC voltage detector on a known live circuit before each use.

WARNING: Before using the meter in the AC Voltage Detector mode, verify that the battery is fresh

by confirming characters appear on the LCD when the function dial is turned to any position. Do not

attempt to use the meter as an AC Voltage Detector if the battery is weak or bad.

The NCV function works on any rotary switch position.

1. Test the detector on a known live circuit before use.

2. Press and hold the NCV button for the duration of the test. The meter will

beep once when the button is pushed and the battery icon will appear briefly

before the display goes blank.

3. Hold the top of the meter very close to the voltage source as shown.

4. If voltage is present, the rim of the LCD display will flash a bright orange and

an audible warning will sound.

EX310A-en-GB_v7.7 10/17

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the live parts

inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed deep in the outlets. As

a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure the

probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is

present.

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

Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

1. Set the function switch to the 600 VAC position.

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

Insert red test lead banana plug into the positive Vjack.

3. Touch the black test probe tip to the neutral side of the circuit.

4. Touch the red test probe tip to the “hot” side of circuit.

5. Read the voltage in the display.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

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

Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

1. Set the function switch to the highest VDC 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 the negative side of the circuit. Touch

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

4. Read the voltage in the display. Move the function switch to

successively lower VDC positions to obtain a higher resolution reading.

BATTERY VOLTAGE TEST

CAUTION: Do not measure batteries while they are installed in the devices they are powering.

The batteries must be removed from installations before tests can be made.

1. Set the function switch to the 1.5V or 9V BAT switch position. Use

the 1.5V position for ‘AAA’, ‘AA’, ‘C’, ‘D’, and other 1.5V batteries.

Use the 9V position for square 9V transistor batteries.

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 the negative side of the battery.
