SAFETY INFORMATION

The Meter complies with:

IEC/EN 61010-1 3rd Edition, UL61010-1 2nd Ed. and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 61010.1-0.92 to Category III 600 Volts, Pollution degree 2

IEC/EN 61010-2-030

IEC/EN 61010-031 for test leads

EMC IEC/EN 61326-1

Measurement Category III (CAT III) is for measurements performed in the building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

Measurement Category II (CAT II) is for measurements performed on circuit directly connected to low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipments.

Warning: Read Before Using

• To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these instructions and use the Meter only as specified in this manual.
• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.
• Always use the proper function and range for measurements.
• Before rotating the function range selection switch, disconnect test probe from circuit under test.
• Verify the Meter's operation by measuring on a known voltage source.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the test probe or between any test probe and earth ground.
• Use the Meter with caution for voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose electrical shock hazards.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the Meter case or battery door.

Press enable the function when at relevant rotary switch function.

Auto Power OFF

Auto power off: approx. 15 minutes.

When the Meter is in auto power off mode, press any button to resume normal operation.

Measuring AC and DC Voltage

Press SELECT button to select AC/DC voltage measurement function.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the Meter, do not apply voltage higher than 600Vac and 600Vdc.

Measuring AC and DC Current

Press SELECT button to select AC or DC current measurement function.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the meter:

1. Do not attempt to make an in-circuit current measurement when the open-circuit potential to earth ground exceeding AC 600V or DC 600V

2. Switch to proper function and range for your measurement.

3. Do not place the test probe in parallel with a circuit when the test leads are connected to the current terminals.

4. Connect the test leads to the correct input A/mA A current terminal and to the circuit before powering the circuit under test.

5. For current range from 8-10A, do not measure current for more than 20 minutes. Wait for 10 minutes before taking another measurement

6. For current range from >10 - 20A , do not measure current for more than 30 seconds maximum. Wait for 10 minutes before taking another measurement

7. After measurement, switching OFF the circuit's power before removing test leads from the circuit.

Measuring Resistance

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance.

Note: On a higher resistance measurement (>1M) , the measurement may take a few seconds to get stable reading. Over range or open circuit indication: OL

Measuring Continuity

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing continuity.

Measuring Diode

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing diode.

Measuring Capacitance

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing capacitance.

Measuring Frequency

To avoid personal injury or damage to the Meter, do not apply voltage higher than 600V.

Measuring Temperature ^ C / ^ F

4 ！

1. To avoid personal injury or damage to the meter, do not apply the temperature probe to any live conductive parts.
2. Temperature sensor K type (nickel-chromium/nichrosi) thermocouple is suitable for temperature measurement below 230^ (446^) .

Measurement steps:

Step 1: Turn the rotary switch to ^ C or ^ position. The display will show "OL".

Step 2: Connect the temperature probe (K type) to the meter and to the surface to be measured.

Non-Contact Voltage Sensing

1. To avoid personal injury or damage to the meter, do not test on uninsulated wires.
2. Buzzer will sound and screen will display "OL" when detecting ac Voltage above 90V ac.
3. Do not test on hazardous live wires higher than AC 600V
4. Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the Meter by approaching to a known source such as a line AC voltage or outlet to determine proper operation. See below figure.
5. At NCV mode, no test lead connections are required for NCV measurement.

Buzzer will sound when the detected voltage is ≥ 90V , and the buzzer will be on. The distances between the wire and the meter should be ≤ 8mm .

The voltage indication in NCV mode is not sufficient to assure safety. This function is not suitable to test absence of voltage.
