Safety

This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminal or operating device

indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in the Operating

Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to the meter.

This WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which

if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

This CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which

if not avoided, may result damage to the product.

This symbol advises the user that the terminal(s) so marked must not be

connected to a circuit point at which the voltage with respect to earth

ground exceeds (in this case) 1000 VAC or VDC.

This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being

associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to

particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum safety, the meter and its

test leads should not be handled when these terminals are energized.

This symbol indicates that a device is protected throughout by double

insulation or reinforced insulation.

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. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you

have selected. Change to a higher range.

FREQUENCY SENSITIVITY (ELECTRICAL)

The frequency sensitivity is range dependent when the function is selected from while in

the voltage or current measuring function. Below are typical sensitivities for the “electrical”

measurement modes.

Range

( DC/AC )

Sensitivity Frequency width

4V ≥1.5V rms 5Hz~10kHz

≥10V rms 5Hz~20kHz40V, 400V

≥20V rms 5Hz~200kHz

1000V/1000V ≥420V rms 50Hz~1kHz

400mA ≥45mA rms 5Hz~5kHz

10A ≥4A rms 5Hz~1kHz

AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION

When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging. 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 the RANGE key to step through the available ranges. Observe the decimal point

and units displayed until the preferred range is located.

3. To exit the Manual Ranging mode and return to Autoranging, press and hold the RANGE

key for 2 seconds.

Note: Manual ranging does not apply for the Capacitance and Frequency functions.

RELATIVE MODE

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

zero reference value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements

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 (zero) the reading in the display and the "REL" indicator

will appear on the display.

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

value.

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

Note: The Relative function does not operate in the Frequency function.

DISPLAY BACKLIGHT

Press the backlight button for >2 second to turn on. Press the button again to turn the

backlight off.

HOLD

The hold function freezes the reading in the display. Press the HOLD key momentarily to

activate or to exit the HOLD function.

AUTO POWER OFF

The auto off feature will turn the meter off after 30 minutes. To disable the auto power off

feature, hold down the MODE button and turn the meter on.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION

The icon will appear in the display when the battery voltage becomes low. Replace the

battery when this appears.

EX505 V6.1 11/07

Maintenance

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage

before removing the back cover or the battery or fuse covers.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery and fuse

covers are in place and fastened securely.

This MultiMeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care

instructions are performed:

1. KEEP THE METER DRY. If it gets wet, wipe it off.

2. USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. Temperature

extremes can shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts.

3. HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. Dropping it can damage the

electronic parts or the case.

4. KEEP THE METER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth. DO NOT

use chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents.

5. USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE. Remove

old or weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit.

6. IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, the batteries

should be removed to prevent damage to the unit.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage

before removing the battery cover.

1. Turn power off and disconnect the test leads from the meter.

2. Open the rear battery cover by removing two screws (B) using a Phillips head

screwdriver.

3. Insert the battery into battery holder, observing the correct polarity.

4. Put the battery cover back in place. Secure with the screws.

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter until the battery cover is in

place and fastened securely.

NOTE: If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and batteries to make sure that

they are still good and that they are properly inserted.
