2. Scope of delivery

After unpacking please check the package contents for transport damage and completeness. - Measurement device - Test leads - Operating manualEnglish

To ensure the safe use of the device, please follow all the safety and operating instructions given in this manual. - Before using the device, make sure that test leads and the device are in good condition and the device is working properly (e.g. by connecting to known voltage sources). - The device may not be used if the housing or the test leads are damaged, if one or more functions are not working, if functions are not displayed, or if you suspect that something is wrong. - If the safety of the user cannot be guaranteed, the device may not be operated and secured against use. - While using this device, hold the test leads only behind the finger guards - do not touch the probes. - Never ground yourself while making electrical measurements. Do not touch any exposed metal pipes, fittings etc., which could have a ground potential. Ensure that your body is isolated by using dry clothes, rubber shoes, rubber mats or other approved insulation materials. - Operate the device in a way that it is not difficult to operate the network separators. - Always adjust the rotary switch to the desired measuring range before starting the measurement and engage the switch in the proper measuring range. - If the magnitude of the signal to be measured is not known, always start with the highest measuring range on the rotary switch and then reduce step-by- step. - If the measuring range needs to be changed during the measurement, remove the probes from the circuit first. - Never turn the rotary switch during measurement, but always in the disconnected condition. - Never connect the device to voltage or current sources that exceed the specified maximum values.English

- Disconnect the power supply and discharge the filter capacitors in the power supply before measuring resistance or testing diodes. - Never connect the test leads of the device to a voltage source, if the rotary switch is set to measure current, resistance or test diodes. This can damage the device. - If the battery symbol appears in the display, replace the battery immediately. - Always switch off the appliance before opening the device to exchange the battery or the fuse. - Never use the device with the rear cover removed or with the battery and fuse compartment open! - Do not use the device near strong magnetic fields (for e.g. welding transformer), as this can distort the display. - Do not use the device outdoors, in humid surroundings or in environments that are subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations. - Do not store the device in places which are exposed to direct sunlight. - Remove the battery if the device is not used for a long time. - If changes or modifications are made to the device, the operational safety is no longer guaranteed and the warranty becomes void. - Before each measurement, check the function on a reliably functioning voltage source.English

8. Operating Instructions

• Be aware of the Safety Instructions (Chapter 3)

• Please refer to the sketches on the first pages of this manual.

• Always switch OFF the device when it is not in use. Point Illumination (Flashlight) In low light conditions, you can illuminate the measuring point. To turn on and off, press the button (3). (Turns off atomically after 3 minutes.) Backlight To turn the backlight on or off, press for two seconds the button (3). DATA HOLD (keep displayed value) If the reading could not be read during measurement due to difficult operation the „HOLD“-button (3) could be pressed to freeze the display reading.

1. Press the „HOLD“-button to freeze the display reading.

2. The display shows the „HOLD“-symbol to indicate the activated HOLD

3. Press the „HOLD“-button again to return to standard operation.

Auto power off If no further measurements are carried out, the device switches off automatically after 10 minutes.

1. Set the rotary switch to the position V~ or V=

2. Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.

3. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.

DC: If the polarity is reversed a "Minus sign" is displayed.English

1. Set the rotary switch to the position NCV

2. Hold the top of the meter to an electrical outlet or cable (<5 mm). When it

comes to alternating voltage, the LED display (3) lights up. At low alternating voltage - or greater distance - the indicator shows "L" (low), the green LED lights up and a beep sounds. At higher alternating voltage, the display shows "H" (high), the two red LEDs light up and a higher signal sound sounds. Attention! Even without an alarm, dangerous voltage can be concerned! This depends on various factors. Therefore, if necessary, check the zero voltage with the voltmeter. DC current measurement (DC) (Alternating current measurements are not possible.)

1. Set the rotary switch to the position A=

2. Switch off the power source and open the circuit to be tested at the

position you are going to measure the current.

3. Turn on the current and touch the measuring points with the test tips.

4. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value. If the polarity is reversed a

"Minus sign" is displayed. Attention! To avoid electric shocks, turn off the current of the device being tested and unload all capacitors before performing the following measurements. Resistance measurement

1. Set the rotary switch to the position

2. Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.

3. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value.English

Diode test / Audible continuity The device automatically distinguishes between audible continuity and diode testing.

1. Set the rotary switch to the position

2. Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.

Defective devices show a value about 0 mV or „OL” in both polarities. Audible continuity:

3. If there is a resistor < 30 Ω, you hear a beep. When the circuit is open, the

display shows "OL". Battery test

1. Set the rotary switch to the position

2. Touch the measuring points with the probe tips.

3. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value. The device displays the voltage

of the tested battery under load.

Only authorized service technicians may repair the instrument. If the instrument is malfunctioning, please test: - Battery condition and polarity - Condition of the fuse(s) if available. - Condition of the test leads.English

Attention! Always switch off the appliance and remove the test leads from all voltage sources before opening the device to exchange the battery or the fuse. Changing the battery(s) Replace the battery(s) when the battery symbol or BATT is displayed on the LCD.

2. Replace the spent battery with a new one - note the correct polarity

3. Close the device.

4. Disposal of the flat battery should meet environmental standards.

Changing the fuse(s)

3. Reinset the new fuse and ensure proper fitting. Use equivalent fuses only.

4. Close the device.

Cleaning If the instrument is dirty after daily usage, it is advised to clean it by using a humid cloth and a mild household detergent. Prior to cleaning, ensure that instrument is switched off and disconnected from external voltage supply and any other instruments connected. Never use acid detergents or dissolvent for cleaning.English
