• Ensure that the test leads are fully seated in the input jacks and keep fingers away
• Read, understand and follow Safety Rules and Operating Instructions in this
The True RMS Multimeter features True RMS measurements for more accurate
AC readings and a Low Z setting for eliminating errors caused by “ghost” voltages.
Functions include AC/DC voltage and current, resistance, continuity, capacitance,
frequency, duty cycle, temperature, and diode test. The True RMS Multimeter also
offers the added convenience of a built-in LED flashlight. This meter is fully tested
calibrated , with proper use, will provide many years of reliable service.
manual before using this meter.
• The meter’s safety features may not protect the user if not used in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
from the metal probe tips when taking measurements.
• Before changing functions using the selector switch, always disconnect the test
leads from the circuit under test.
• Use only UL listed test leads with the proper safety category rating.
• Comply with all applicable safety codes. Use approved personal protective
equipment when working near live electrical circuits-particularly with regard
to arc-flash potential.
• Use caution on live circuits. Voltages above 30V AC rms, 42V AC peak, or 60V
DC pose a shock hazard.
• Do not use if the meter or test leads appear damaged.
• Verify operation before using meter by measuring a known live voltage.
• Do not use the meter in wet or damp environments or during electrical storms.
• Do not use the meter near explosive vapors, dust gas.
• Do not use the meter if it operates incorrectly. Protection may be compromised.
• Do not apply voltage or current that exceeds the meter’s maximum rated input
• Do not operate meter while Low Battery warning is on. Replace batteries immediately.

WARNING: Operation is limited to CAT II applications when the insulated tips are
removed from one or both test probes. Refer to Input Limits section in this manual
for maximum voltage ratings.
3-3.Maintenance
This Multimeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following
care instructions are performed:
KEEP THE METER DRY. If it gets wet, wipe it off.
USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. Temperature
extremes can shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts.
HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. Dropping it can damage the
electronic parts or the case.
KEEP THE METER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents.
USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE AND TYPE.
Remove old or weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit.
IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, the batteries
should be removed to prevent damage to the unit.

5-Operation
The Autorange mode automatically selects the proper range for the measurement
being made and is generally the best mode for most applications. For measurement
situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following:
Momentarily press the RANGE button. The “AUTO” indicator will no longer be
shown on the LCD display.
Momentarily press the RANGE button to step through the available ranges until
the desired range is selected.
To exit the Manual Ranging mode, press and hold the RANGE button until the
“AUTO” indicator reappears.
5-1.RANGE Button

NOTE: The range botton does not work on Frequency, Duty Cycle, Capacitance
or Temperature.
5-2.MODE Button
5-3.REL Button
Used to select AC or DC, Frequency or Duty Cycle, Resistance, Continuity or
Diode Test, and °C or °F.
The RELATIVE function zeros out the reading on the display and stores it as a
reference. Subsequent readings will be displayed as the relative difference between
the actual measurement and the stored reference value. To activate, press the REL
button. The “REL” indicator will appear on the LCD display along with the relative
reading. Press the REL button again to return to normal operation.
NOTE: The meter does not Autorange when the Relative mode is active. The display
will read OL if the difference exceeds the range. When this occurs, exit REL and
use the RANGE button to select a higher range. REL does not work on Frequency,
Duty Cycle, Temperature,or Low Z.
5-4.MAX/MIN/AVG Button
Momentarily press the MAX/MIN/AVG button to activate the MAX/MIN mode. The
“MAX” indicator will appear on the LCD display. The meter will display and hold
the maximum reading and will update when a higher “MAX” occurs.

Momentarily press the MAX/MIN/AVG button to view the lowest reading. The
“MIN” indicator will appear on the LCD display. The meter will display and hold
the minimum reading and will update when a lower “min” occurs.
Momentarily press the MAX/MIN/AVG button again to view the average reading.
The “AVG” symbol will appear on the LCD display. The meter will display the
running average and will update when the average value changes.
Press and hold the MAX/MIN/AVG button to end MAX/MIN and return to normal
operation.
NOTE: MAX/MIN does not work on Frequency, Duty Cycle, Capacitance or
Temperature.
5-5.Backlight/HOLD Button
To freeze the reading on the LCD display, momentarily press the HOLD button.
The “HOLD” indicator will be displayed while the reading is being held. Momentarily
press the HOLD button again to exit HOLD and return to normal operation.
To turn the backlight on, press and hold the HOLD button until the backlight
turns on. To turn the backlight off, press and hold the HOLD button until the
backlight turns off.
When the meter is in the darkness, the backlight can be automatically opened,
not controlled by the button.
Momentarily press the PEAK button to turn the flashlight on and off.
The PEAK function is accessible when measuring AC Voltage or Current. It
captures and displays the highest positive peak and the highest negative peak of
the AC waveform.
Press and hold the PEAK button until “Peak MAX” appears on the LCD display.
The meter will display the highest reading and will update the reading when a
higher positive peak occurs.
To view highest negative peak, press the PEAK button for approximately one
second. “Peak MIN” will appear on the LCD display and the meter will display
and hold the highest reading. The meter will update the reading when a higher
negative peak occurs.
