Safety

WARNING:Improperuseofthisdevicecanresultinelectricshockordamagetothe

meter.Followallsafetyguidelinespresentedinthismanualandtheusualsafety

precautionsusedwhenworkingwithelectricalcircuits.



ThisinstrumentconformstoGB/T13978‐92fordigitalMultimetertechnicalstandards,aswell

asGB4793.1‐1995(IEC‐61010‐1:2001)safetystandardsforelectronicmeasuringinstruments

withasafetycategoryofCATIII600Vandpollutiondegree2.



PreliminarySafety

Whenusingthemeter,observeallnormalsafetyrulesconcerning:

Protectionagainstthedangersofelectricalcurrent

Protectionofthemeteragainstmisuse

Whenthemeterisdelivered,checkfortransitdamage.Whencheckingvoltage,alwaystestthe

meteronaknownlivecircuitfirst.Testleadsmustbeingoodcondition.Beforeuse,verifythat

thetestleadinsulationisintactandfreefromleadwireexposureorotherdamage.Useonlythe

suppliedtestleads.

Safetyduringuse

Besuretosettheappropriatefunctionandrangebeforeuse

Neverexceedthelimitsindicatedinthespecificationtableofthismanual.

Nevertouchprobes,testleads,oralligatorclipwhenconnectedtolivecircuit.

Donotmeasurevoltageonterminalsthatexceed600Vaboveearthground.

Alwaysusecautionwhenworkingwithvoltagesabove60VDCor30VACrms.Keepfingersbehindprobe

barrierwhentakingmeasurements.

Neverconnecttestleadsacrossavoltagesourcewhiletherotaryswitchisintheresistance,continuity,or

diodemodeofoperation.

Neverperformresistance,continuity,ordiodetestsonlivecircuits.

Whentakingnon‐contactvoltagemeasurementsensurethatthepositivetestleadisNOTexposedand

thatthenegative(common)testleadisnotconnectedtothebottomofthemeter.

Beforechangingfunctionsusingtherotaryfunctiondial,besuretodisconnectthemeter’stestleads

fromanycircuitundertest.

Neverusethemeterinanexplosiveenvironmentorwheredust,dirt,orsteamexists.

Neverusethemeterifthehousingorbatterycompartmentisopen.

Donotstoremeterindirectsunlight,hightemperature/humidity,orcondensation.

Iftheequipmentisusedinamannernotspecifiedbythemanufacturer,theprotectionprovidedbythe

equipmentmaybeimpaired.

ALWAYSdischargefiltercapacitorsinpowersuppliesanddisconnectthepowerwhenmakingresistance

ordiodetests.

OperatingInstructions

WARNING:Riskofelectrocution.High‐voltagecircuits,bothACandDC,areverydangerousand

shouldbemeasuredwithgreatcare.

NOTE:OnsomelowACandDCvoltageranges,withthetestleadsnotconnectedtoadevice,

thedisplaymayshowarandom,changingreading.Thisisnormalandiscausedbythehigh‐

inputsensitivity.Readingswillstabilizeandgivepropermeasurementwhentestleadsare

connectedtoacircuit.



NON‐CONTACTACVOLTAGEDETECTOR(NCV)

WARNING:TesttheACvoltagedetectoronaknownlivecircuitbeforeeachuse.



WARNING:BeforeusingthemeterintheACVoltageDetectormode,verifythatthebatteries

arefreshbyconfirmingcharactersappearontheLCDwhenthefunctiondialisturnedtothe

voltage(V)position.DonotattempttousethemeterasanACVoltageDetectorifthebatteries

areweakorbad.

Notes:

Voltagemaystillexistevenwithnoindicationgivenbythemeter.DonotsolelyrelyonNCV

detectiontodeterminethepresenceofvoltage.Socketdesign,insulationthicknessandother

factorsmayaffectreadings.

TheNCVindicatorLEDmayflashwhilemeasuringAC/DCvoltageduetothepresenceofinduced

voltage.

ExternalenvironmentalinterferencefromadditionalsourcescanfalselytriggerNCVdetection.



1. Disconnectthecommon(negative)testleadfromthebottomofthemeter.

2. WiththefunctionswitchsettoanypositionexceptOFF,pressandholdtheNCVbutton.

3. Movethetipofthemeternearthevoltagesourceorconductorasshown.

4. Ifthevoltagedetectedis>110VAC,thebeeperwillsoundandtheNCVindicatornearthe

tipofthemeterwillflash.Alwaystestthedetectoronaknownlivecircuitfirstbefore

attemptingothertests.

Maintenance

WARNING:Toavoidelectricalshock,disconnectthetestleadsfromanysourceofvoltage

beforeremovingthebackcoverorthebatterycover.



WARNING:Toavoidelectricalshock,donotoperatethemeteruntilthebatterycoverisinplace

andfastenedsecurely.

Thismeterwasdesignedtoprovideyearsofdependableservice.However,ifthefollowing

guidelinesarenotfollowed,thedependabilityofthemetercanbecompromised:

1. KEEPTHEMETERDRY.Ifitgetswet,wipeitoffandallowittodrybeforeuse.

2. USEANDSTORETHEMETERINNORMALTEMPERATURES.Environmentalextremescan

shortenthelifeoftheelectronicpartsanddistortormeltplasticparts.

3. HANDLETHEMETERGENTLYANDCAREFULLY.

4. KEEPTHEMETERCLEAN.Wipethecaseoccasionallywithadampcloth.Donotuse

chemicals,cleaningsolvents,abrasives,ordetergents.

5. USEONLYFRESHBATTERIESOFTHERECOMMENDEDSIZE/TYPE.

6. IFTHEMETERISTOBESTOREDFORALONGPERIODREMOVETHEBATTERIES

7. Repairsshouldonlybeimplementedbytrainedpersonnel.
