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 source.4

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between the test probes 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, continuity and diode.

• 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’s case.

• If the meter is used in a manner not specified in the user manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

• To avoid injury, when the “battery low” indicator is present in the display, the product should NOT be used. A false measurement may occur. The battery should be replaced immediately.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Your shipping carton should include: 1 AM-420 Multimeter 1 9V alkaline battery (installed) 1 User manual If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange. FEATURES Residential digital multimeter to check for voltage in receptacles, electrical circuits, fuses, light bulbs and electrical connections.

• Measurements: Voltage up to 250V AC/DC, DC Current and Resistance

• Special functions: Audible continuity and diode test

1. Use the proper function and range for measurements.

2. To avoid possible electrical shock, personal injury or damages to the meter,

disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity and diode.

3. Connecting test leads:

• Connect the common (black) test lead to the circuit before connecting the live lead

• After measurement, remove live lead before removing the common (black) test lead from the circuit

4. Over-range indication: “1”, “-1”, or maximum display reading.5

Continuity measurement, buzzer will sound when ≤ 10 Ω HOLD Button Press HOLD button to freeze present reading on display. Press again to resume normal operation. XWarning To avoid electric shock, do not use the HOLD mode to determine if a circuit is live. The meter holds the reading on the display and does not refresh the reading automatically. The “HOLD” button may be activated even when the product is NOT on. (If “H” appears in the left-side of the display, HOLD is active.) The HOLD function allows the meter to continue displaying the last reading, which may be “0”. This reading will not change as long as the HOLD function is active, even if the meter is later connected to an energized circuit. “HOLD” can be disabled by pressing the “HOLD” button again. Readings will resume.6 Measuring AC Voltage

Do not apply on a voltage source higher than AC 250V and use proper range for measurement. Over-range indication: “1”, “-1” or a reading exceeds 250. Measuring DC Voltage

Do not apply on a voltage source higher than DC 250V and use proper range for measurement. Over-range indication: “1”, “-1” or a reading exceeds 250.7 Measuring DC Current

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 exceeds 250V.

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

circuit before powering the circuit under test.

5. After measurement, switch the

circuit’s power to OFF before removing test leads from the circuit. Measuring Resistance

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance.8 Measuring Continuity

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing continuity. Meter beeps at ≤10Ω, beeper turns off at > 70 Ω. Measuring Diode

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

Applying a voltage source or incorrect battery type under battery test may cause personal injury or damage to the meter. Battery 1.5V range is for dry battery not exceeding 2Vdc. The resistance load is around 50Ω. Battery 9V range is for dry battery not exceeding 15Vdc. The resistance load is around 1 k.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

If the meter fails to operate, check battery, test leads, etc., and replace as necessary. Double check the following:

1. Replace the fuse or battery if the meter doesn’t work.

2. Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating

procedure. Except for the replacement of the fuse and battery, repair of the meter should be performed only by an authorized service center or by other qualified instrument service personnel. The front panel and case can be cleaned with a mild solution of detergent and water. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to dry completely before using. Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons, gasoline or chlorinated solvents for cleaning.11

BATTERY AND FUSE REPLACEMENT

XWarning To avoid shock, injury, or damage to the meter, disconnect the test lead from the measuring circuit before opening case. ONLY use the fuse with the amperage, interrupt, voltage, and speed ratings specified. When replacing the battery and fuse, follow the below steps:

1. Disconnect the test lead probe from measuring circuit.

2. Turn the Meter to OFF position.

3. Remove holster and the screws from the back cover, and then open the back

4. Battery replacement: Remove the battery and replace with one 9 V Alkaline

battery (6LF22, 6LR61, MN1604) or equivalent. Pay attention to the polarity signs.

5. Fuse replacement: Replace the broken fuse F1 with rating 315 mA H 250 V

fast-fuse, ( 5×20)mm.
