SAFETY NOTES

•Do not exceed the maximum allowable input range of any function.

•Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected.

•Set the function switch OFF when the meter is not in use.

•Remove the battery if meter is to be stored for longer than 60 days.

WARNINGS

•Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring.

•When measuring volts do not switch to current/resistance modes.

•Do not measure current on a circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V.

•When changing ranges always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under test.

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.

•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.

Operation

NOTES: Read and understand all Warning and Caution statements in this operation

manual prior to using this meter. Set the function select switch to the OFF position when

the meter is not in use.

Input Shutter

The Input Shutter inhibits simultaneous connection to the thermocouple jacks and the

DMM input jacks. This is a safety feature which prevents a potentially hazardous condition

from existing during high voltage measurements. Slide the shutter up for test lead

measurements or slide it down for thermocouple temperature measurements.

Non-Contact Voltage Detector

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector on a

known live circuit to verify proper operation.

1. Rotate the Function switch to any measurement

position.

2. Place the detector probe tip on the conductor to be

tested.

3. If AC voltage is present, the NCV detector light will

turn on with a steady red light.

NOTE: The conductors in electrical cord sets are often

twisted. For best results, move the probe tip along

a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in

close proximity to the live conductor.

NOTE: The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static electricity or other sources of

energy may randomly trip the sensor. This is normal operation.

If one reading displays a value (typically 0.400V to 01.800V) and the other

reading displays OL, the diode is good.

If both readings display OL the device is open.

If both readings are very small or ‘0’, the device is shorted.
