CAUTIONS

Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock, injury or death. Read and

understand this user manual before operating the meter.

Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery or fuses.

Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage before

operating the meter. Repair or replace any damage before use.

Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than 25VAC

rms or 35VDC. These voltages are considered a shock hazard.

Warning! This is a class A equipment. This equipment can cause interferences in the

living quarters; in this case the operator can be required to carry out adequate

measures.

Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test before

performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.

Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because of the

uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts. Other means should be

used to ensure that the terminals are not "live".

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

provided by the equipment may be impaired.

This device is not a toy and must not reach children’s hands. It contains hazardous

objects as well as small parts that the children could swallow. In case a child

swallows any of them, please contact a physician immediately

Do not leave batteries and packing material lying around unattended; they can be

dangerous for children if they use them as toys

In case the device is going to be unused for an extended period of time, remove the

batteries to prevent them from training

Expired or damaged batteries can cause cauterization on contact with the skin.

Always, therefore, use suitable hand gloves in such cases

See that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.

Do not directly view or direct the laser pointer at an eye. Low power visible lasers

do not normally present a hazard, but may present some potential for hazard if

viewed directly for extended periods of time

Operating Instructions

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

dangerous and should be measured with great care.

1. ALWAYS turn the function switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use.

2. If “OL” appears in the display during a measurement, the value exceeds the range you

have selected. Change to a higher range.

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 response is normal and is

caused by the high-input sensitivity. The reading will stabilize and give a proper

measurement when connected to a circuit.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON or

OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.

1. Set the function switch to the green V position.

2. Press the SELECT button to indicate “DC” on the display.

3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM

jack.

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Vjack.

4. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the

circuit.

Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.

5. Read the voltage in the display.

EX450-EU_ENG V3.1 10/07

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact the

live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed

deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has

voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet

before assuming that no voltage is present.
