Sec. 1 DESCRIPTION
This exceptional 3-1/2 digit handheld, digital multimeter has the capacity of
reading up to 6 functions on up to 18 ranges. This DMM offers a powerhouse
of measurement capability in a small self-contained housing. It is designed for
the professional at work, in the field or in the laboratory. Yet simple enough to
operate, making it perfect for the hobbyist too.
Safety was prime consideration in the design of this DMM. Housed in shock
resistant ABS plastic, this instrument stands up to the use and abuse of every-
day service and electrically insulates the user from potential shock hazards.
Electronic overload protection against accidental application of voltage to
resistance and continuity circuits, combined with its rugged construction make
it a durable and reliable instrument.

Sec. 4 SAFETY RULES
1. Read these operating instructions thoroughly and completely before oper-
ating your DMM. Pay particular attention to WARNINGS and CAUTIONS,
which will inform you of potentially dangerous procedures. These instruc-
tions must be followed.
2. Always inspect your DMM, test leads and accessories for any sign of
damage or abnormality before every use. If any abnormal conditions exist
(e.g. broken test leads, cracked cases, display not reading, etc.), do not
attempt to take any measurements. Refer to section 14 Return for Repair.
3. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not
touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at
ground potential. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry cloth-
ing, rubber shoes, rubber mats or any approved insulating material.
4. Never touch exposed wiring, connections or any live circuit conductors
when attempting to take measurements.
5. Never replace the protective fuse inside the DMM with any other than the
Sperry Part number specified or approved equal.
6. Remember: Think Safety and Act Safely.
7. When testing for the presence of voltage, make sure the voltage function
is operating properly by reading a known voltage in that range before
assuming that a zero reading indicates a no-voltage condition.
8. Calibration and repair should be performed by qualified maintenance per-
sonnel only.
9. Do not attempt calibration or service unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
10. Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of
the instrument. Return the instrument to Sperry Instruments for service
and repair to insure that safety features are maintained.
11. To avoid electric shock use CAUTION when working with voltages above
40Vdc or 20Vac. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
12. Do not operate this instrument in an explosive atmosphere (i.e. in the
presence of flammable gases or fumes, vapor or dust).
13. For indoor use only.
14. Altitude up to 2000 meters.
15. This equipment has been evaluated to INSTALLATION CATEGORY II.
Pollution Degree 2, and according to EN61010-1.

Sec. 6 PREPARATION FOR USE
Sec. 6.1 UNPACKING AND CONTENTS CHECK
The DM-4400A comes complete and ready to use. Check the
following contents list when unpacking. If any pieces are missing
notify the distributor you purchased the instrument from or
Sperry Instrument, Inc.
• Operating Instructions # 415
• Test Leads TL-54 (one black, one red).
• 9V Transistor type Battery See Battery
replacement section 10.2 for proper installation.
• One Fuse installed, one spare Fuse Part # F-17; 0.5A,
250V, 5mm X 20 mm, fast acting (See Fuse Replacement
section 10.3)
Sec. 6.2 PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the 9V transistor type battery See Battery
Replacement procedure in section 10.2.
2. Inspect the instrument for any external defects by comparing
with the diagram on page 6. If any abnormal conditions exist, do
not attempt to take any measurements. Refer to sections 10
(maintenance) and 14 (Return for Repairs).

3. Insert the test leads into the "COM" and "V-Ω" jacks.
Connect the two ends of the test leads together.
4. Place the range selector switch into the off position.
Nothing will appear on the display. Replace the range selector
switch into the following ranges shown in the chart below.
Check for the appropriate meter response.
Range Display Readings
DC NO
AC NO
Ω 10.00 “1” flashing
DIODE 1.500 Approx.
5. As you can see, the decimal point moves as the ranges are
changed. The maximum display reading is 1999. The 200DCV
range will actually only read 199.9Vdc. We call this the 200DCV
range for convenience only.
6. You can now check the decimal point on each range by
referring to sec. 3 Specifications where the ranges are all listed.
Refer to the Range and Resolution columns to compute the
decimal point location.
7. If any abnormal conditions exist, do not attempt to take any
electrical measurements. Instead refer to sec. 14 Return for
Repairs.
Sec. 7 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The DM-4400A has a self-contained power supply consisting of One 9V
Transistor Type Battery (NEDA #1604).
