No, the maximum permissible voltage is 1000 V DC and 750 V AC. Beyond that, you risk damaging the device and injuring yourself.

How to change the fuse?

Disconnect the leads and remove the battery. Open the case (screw on back). Locate the fuse (often 10A/250V). Replace it with an identical fuse. Close.

What to do if the display is unstable?

Check that the battery is sufficiently charged. Make sure the leads are properly connected. Avoid sources of electromagnetic interference.

How to measure current with this multimeter?

Select the current range (A). Connect the red lead to the 10A or mA terminal depending on the intensity. Place the multimeter in series in the circuit. Do not exceed 10A.

Is this multimeter suitable for automotive?

Yes, it can measure battery voltages (12V), continuities, and resistances. Respect the safety categories (CAT II for vehicle circuits).

4. Overvoltage/ installation category

DMMs are categorized depending on the risk and severity of transient overvoltage that might occur at the point of test. Transients are short-lived bursts of energy induced in a system, e.g. caused by lightning strike on a power line.

The existing categories according EN 61010-1 are:

CAT I	A CAT I-rated meter is suitable for measurements on protected electronic circuits that are not directly connected to mains power, e.g. electronics circuits, control signals...
CAT II	A CAT II-rated meter is suitable for measurements in CAT I-environments and mono-phase appliances that are connected to the mains by means of a plug and circuits in a normal domestic environment, provided that the circuit is at least 10m apart from a CAT III- or 20m apart from a CAT IV-environment. E.g. household appliances, portable tools...
CAT III	A CAT III-rated meter is suitable for measurements in CAT I- and CAT II-environments, as well as for measurements on (fixed) mono- or poly-phased appliances which are at least 10m apart from of a CAT IV-environment, and for measurements in or on distribution level equipment (low-voltage distribution boards, lighting circuits, electric ovens).
CAT IV	A CAT IV-rated meter is suitable for measuring in CAT I-, CAT II- and CAT III-environments as well as on the primary supply level. Note that for all measurements on equipment for which the supply cables run outdoors (either overhead or underground) a CAT IV meter must be used.

Warning:

This device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1 installation category CAT IV 600V / CAT III 1000V. This implies that certain restrictions in use apply that are related to voltages and voltage peaks which can occur within the environment of use. Refer to the table above.

This device is suitable for measurements up to 1000V:

• Protected electronic circuits that are not directly connected to mains power, e.g. electronics circuits, control signals, c circuits behind isolating transformer...
• circuits that are directly connected to mains power, but limited to:

o measurements on mono-phase appliances that are connected to the mains by means of a plug
○ mono-phase appliances and circuits directly connected to the mains in a normal domestic environment, provided that the circuit is at least 10m apart from a CAT IV-environment. E.g. household appliances, portable tools, light circuits at more than 10m from a distribution board ...

• measurements in/on low-voltage distribution boards (distribution boards behind meter box)
• measurements on (fixed) mono- or poly-phased appliances and circuits except in CAT IV-environments (e.g. mains outlets, electric ovens, lighting circuits, bus bars, low-voltage distribution boards and circuit breakers).

This device is suitable for measurements up to 600V:

- Measurements on distribution equipment and outdoor installations including meter boxes and equipment/circuits outside or remote from the domestic environment e.g. circuits in sheds, garden houses and free-standing garages, or circuits using underground wiring e.g. garden lighting, pool-pump...

This device is NOT suitable for:

• Voltages above 1000V
- Currents above 10A

This device is only suitable for measurements up to 600V in

5. Pollution degree

IEC 61010-1 specifies different types of pollution environments, for which different protective measures are necessary to ensure safety. Harsher environments require more protection, and the protection against the pollution which is to be found in a certain environment depends mainly on the insulation and the enclosure properties. The pollution degree rating of the DVM indicates in which environment the device may be used.

Pollution degree 1	No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence. (only to be found in hermetically sealed enclosures)
Pollution degree 2	Only nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected.(home and offi environments fall under this category)
Pollution degree 3	Conductive pollution occurs, or dry nonconductive pollution occurs that becomes conductive due to condensation that is to be expected. (industrial environments and environments exposed to outside air - but not in contact with precipitation)
Pollution degree 4	The pollution generates persistent conductivity caused by conductive dust or by rain or snow. (exposed outdoor environments and environments where high humidity levels or high concentrations of fine part ic les occur)

Warning:

This device was designed in accordance with EN 61010-1 pollution degree 2. This implies that certain restrictions in use apply that are related to pollution which can occur within the environment of use. Refer to the table above.

This device is only suitable for measurements in Pollution degree class 2 environments.

7. Operating instructions

Risk of electric shock during operation. Be very careful when measuring live circuits.

Before measuring, always make sure the meter and/or test probes are damaged and verify the connections, selected function and range.

• Never exceed the limit value for protection. This limit value is listed separately in the specifications for each range of measurement.
• Do not touch unused terminals when the meter is linked to a circuit which is being tested.
• Only use the meter in the indicated overvoltage/installation category. Never measure voltages that might exceed the indicated category values.
• When a measuring range is unknown, always select the highest possible range and lower to the appropriate range.
• Disconnect the test leads from the tested circuit before rotating the range selector in order to change functions.
• When carrying out measurements on a TV set or switching power circuits, always remember that high amplitude voltage pulses at the test points might damage the meter.
• Always be careful when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms. Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during measurement.
• Do not measure current in circuits with voltages > 1000V.
• Never perform resistance, diode or continuity measurements on live circuits. Make sure all capacitors in the circuit are depleted.

7.1 Voltage measurements

Do not measure circuits where voltages > 600V CAT IV or > 1000V CAT III may reside.

Always be careful when working with voltages above 60Vdc or 30Vac rms. Keep your fingers behind the probe barriers at all times during measurement. Do not touch unused terminals when the meter is linked to a circuit which is being tested.
