DIGITAL AUTO RANGING MULTIMETER
General Safety Warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in serious injury.
This manual provides all safety information, operation instruction, specifications and maintenance for the meter, which
is compact, handheld, and battery operated. This instrument performs AC/DC voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance,
Audible Continuity, Diode, hFE , and Frequency measurements; it is a 3 3/4 digits, 3999 counts auto ranging DMM.
It has the functions of polarity indication, data hold, over range indication and automatic power-off. It can
be operated easily and is an ideal instrument tool. K8315 series digital multimeter has been designed according to
EN61010-1 oncoming electronic measuring instruments with an over voltage category (CAT II 600V) and Pollution degree 2.
WARNING! To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury and avoid possible damage to the multimeter or the
equipment under test, adhere to ALL safety instructions.
a) Use the Meter only as specified in this manual, or the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.
b) Do not use the Meter in wet environments.
c) Inspect the Meter before using it. Do not use the Meter if it appears damaged.
d) Inspect the test leads before use. Do not use them if insulation is damaged or metal is exposed. Check the test leads for
continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Meter.
e) Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage before and after using it. Do not use the Meter if it operates
abnormally. Protection may be impaired. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
f) Whenever it is likely that safety protection has been impaired, make the Meter inoperative and secure it against any unintended
operation.
g) Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.
h) Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth
ground.
i) Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the case.
j) Never remove the cover or open the case of the Meter without first removing it from the main power source.
k) Never operate the Meter with the cover removed or the case open.
l) Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 42 V dc.
These voltages pose a shock hazard.
m) Use only the replacement fuses specified by the manual.
n) Use the proper terminals, function and range for your measurements.
o) Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or dust.
p) When using probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
q) When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead. When disconnecting,
disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
r) Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
s) Before measuring current, check the Meter’s fuses and turn OFF power to the circuit before connecting the Meter to the circuit
t) When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.
