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 (NCV)

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.

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.
