6. Turn heating unit on and check the reading on the Meter.
7. Refer to the heating unit documentation for what the correct reading should be.

Measuring Resistance, Continuity and Diode

Warning

• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, de-energize the circuit before taking the measurement.

• To avoid electrical shock when testing resistance/continuity/diode in a circuit, make sure the power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are discharged. Use DC voltage function to check the capacitors are discharged.

• Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test lead to the Ω terminal.

• Turn the rotary switch to ⋰Ω.
• Press SELECT button for desired measurement function.
• Connect the probes across the circuit or component to be tested.

Resistance measurement: The resistance reading appears on the display. If the circuit is open or resistance exceeds the Meter's range, the display reads "OL".

Continuity measurement: If the circuit is shorted, the Meter beeps and shows a reading ≤ 10 Ω. (Beeper ON ≤ 10 Ω, OFF > 250 Ω) If the circuit is open or resistance exceeds the Meter's range, the display reads OL.

Testing diode: When testing diode, normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to 0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A zero reading indicates a shorted diode (defective). Display reads "OL" indicates an open diode (defective). Reverse the test leads connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The display reads "OL" if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is resistive or shorted (defective).

Measuring Capacitance and Temperature

Warning

To avoid electrical shock and injury:

• When testing capacitor in a circuit, make sure the power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are discharged.
• When measuring temperature, DO NOT apply the temperature probe to any live conductive parts.

Capacitance

1. Turn off circuit power, then disconnect and discharge the capacitor before measuring capacitance.
2. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test lead to the → terminal
3. Turn the Meter's rotary switch to capacitance -1€.
4. Connect the probes across the capacitor to be tested. When measuring, be sure to note the correct polarity of the capacitor.

Temperature

The Meter measures temperature in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

1. Connect the banana plug type-K temperature probe to the Meter's input terminal noting correct polarity of the probe.
2. Turn the rotary switch to ⚠️.
3. Press SELECT button to select °C or °F. The display reflects the chosen temperature mode (°C or °F).
4. Position the probe to take the measurement. The reading appears on the display.

Note: Type-K mini plug temperature probes can also be used with a plug adaptor with banana pins to type-K socket.

Measuring ⑬ 3-Phase Rotation

Measurement is made through the Meter's terminals L1/L2/L3. Phase Rotation directions are indicated as symbolic (LCD segments) movements on the display. Default mode at Ⓜ. Press SELECT button to toggle between Ⓜ and ⓜ modes.

(M): Hi-sensitivity mode for checking phase rotation of Motors detects relatively low signal outputs generated spinning a motor shaft,.

(R): Normal-sensitivity mode for identifying phase sequence of 3-phase MAINS supply.

Caution

Correct rotation detection relies on solid signal connection to all three test lead terminals simultaneously. Any loose connection will lead to detection failure and false indication. To verify signal connection and the correct rotation indication, swap any of two signal connections I to check for indication of reverse movement.

Hi-sensitivity mode (for Motors:

Connect the test lead L1/L2/L3 to the motor connections by using probes and/or alligator clips. Be sure the power supply is removed from the motor. From the perspective of looking down the shaft of the motor, speedspin it clockwise to generate sufficient signal strength for rotary detection. If the meter indicates a clockwise movement, the motor leads connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the meter are L1, L2 and L3 (also known as R, S and T), respectively. If the meter indicates a counter-clockwise movement, swap any of two motor connections and retest.

Normal mode (R) for the MAINS circuit:

Connect the test lead L1/L2/L3 to the 3-phase mains circuit by using probes and/or alligator clips. If the meter indicates a clockwise movement, the phases connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the meter are L1, L2 and L3 (also known as R, S and T), respectively. If the meter indicates a counter-clockwise movement, swap any two connects between the meter and phases. Then retest. Connecting the above mentioned L1, L2 and L3 of a motor and that of the MAINS respectively should get a clockwise motor movement.

Using the Beeper feature on Ⓜ & ⓜ mode:

Press and hold the REC button while turning the rotary switch to enable the beeper, the display shows "Enbp". When making rotary measurement, if the rotary indication segments indicate a clockwise movement, the beeper sounds a single long beep per segment cycle. If the rotary indication segments indicate a counter clockwise movement, the beeper sounds 3 short beeps per segment cycle.
