Operating Instructions

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

dangerous and should be measured with great care.

1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.

2. Press the HOLD button to freeze a displayed reading

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

The EX330 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.

NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE (NCV)

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.

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.

Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06

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 VAC position.

2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into

the negative COM jack.

AUTO-MANUAL RANGE SELECTION

When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into the Auto Range mode. This

automatically selects the best range for the measurements being made and is generally

the best mode for most measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range

be manually selected, perform the following:

1. Press the RANGE key. The AUTO display indicator will turn off.

2. Press RANGE to step through the available ranges until the desired range is

selected.

3. To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to Auto Range, press and hold the

RANGE key for 2 seconds.

Note: Manual range does not apply to Capacitance, Frequency or Temperature modes.

RELATIVE MODE

The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored

reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored so that subsequent

measurements can be made in comparison to that value. The displayed value is the

difference between the reference value and the measured value.

1. Perform the measurement as described in the operating instructions.

2. Press the REL button to store the reading (the REL indicator will appear on the

display).

3. The display will now indicate the difference between stored value and subsequent

measurements.

4. Press the REL button to exit the relative mode.

Note: The Relative mode is not available when measuring Frequency or Duty Cycle.
