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.
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.
See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into fire.

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.

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 V jack.
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.
