1) SAFETY
This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed for operating the meter
safely and maintaining the meter in a safe operating condition. If the meter is used in a
manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the meter may be
impaired.
Terms in this manual
WARNING identifies conditions and actions that could result in serious injury or even death
to the user.
CAUTION identifies conditions and actions that could cause damage or malfunction in the
instrument.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
The meter is intended only for indoor use.
Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the test
probe assembly, where applicable) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-
held parts during measurements. Inspect lead wires, connectors, and probes for
damaged insulation or exposed metal periodically. If any defects are found, replace
them immediately. Optional offer, at agent’s discretion, premium test probe assembly
silicon wires equip with white inner insulation layer as wear indicator. Do not use them
if the wear indicator has become visible. Only use the probe assembly provided with
the meter or a UL Listed Probe Assembly to the same meter ratings or better.
IEC 61010-031 requires exposed conductive test probe tips to be ≤4mm for CAT III & CAT
IV ratings. Refer to the category markings on your probe assemblies as well as on the add-
on accessories (like detachable Caps or Alligator Clips), if any, for applicable rating changes.
Observe proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 30 Vrms, 42.4 Vpeak
or 60 VDC. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user. Before and after
hazardous voltage measurements, check the voltage function on a known source such as
line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
CAUTION
Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing functions.

Brief Information about Measurement Categories
Measurement Category IV is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected at the
source of the building’s low-voltage MAINS installation. Examples are measurements on
devices installed before the main fuse or circuit breaker in the building installation.
Measurement Category III is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected to the
distribution part of the building’s low-voltage MAINS installation. Examples are
measurements on distribution boards (including secondary meters), circuit-breakers, wiring,
including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation,
and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment such as stationary motors with
permanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement Category II is applicable to test and measuring circuits connected directly to
utilization points (socket outlets and similar points) of the low-voltage MAINS installation.
Examples are measurements on MAINS CIRCUITS of household appliances, portable tools
and similar equipment.
2) CENELEC DIRECTIVES
The instruments conform to CENELEC Low-voltage directive 2014/35/EU,
Electromagnetic compatibility directive 2014/30/EU and RoHS directive 2015/863/EU.

True RMS
RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is a term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC value of
an AC signal. True RMS is the term which identifies a DMM that responds accurately to the
effective RMS value regardless of the waveforms such as: square, sawtooth, triangle, pulse
trains, spikes, as well as distorted waveforms with the presence of harmonics. Harmonics
may cause :
1)Overheated transformers, generators and motors to burn out faster than normal
2)Circuit breakers to trip prematurely
3)Fuses to blow
4)Neutrals to overheat due to the triplen harmonics present on the neutral
5)Bus bars and electrical panels to vibrate
Crest Factor
Crest Factor is the ratio of the Crest (instantaneous peak) value to the True RMS value, and
is commonly used to define the dynamic range of a True RMS DMM. A pure sinusoidal
waveform has a Crest Factor of 1.414. A badly distorted sinusoidal waveform normally has a
much higher Crest Factor.
4) OPERATION
CAUTION
Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a known
source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.

AutoV (LoZ) mode
AutoV automatically selects measurement function of DCV or ACV, based on their input
levels via the test leads. The input also provides a low ramp-up impedance (LoZ) to drain
ghost voltages*.
●With no input, the meter displays “- - - -” when it is ready.
●When a signal above the voltage threshold of 1V DC or AC up to the rated 1000V is
present, the meter displays the voltage value in appropriate DC or AC, whichever larger in
peak magnitude.
Note:
*Ghost-voltage Buster: Ghost-voltages are unwanted stray signals coupled from adjacent
hard signals, which confuse common multimeter voltage measurements. The AutoV mode
provides low (ramp-up) input impedance (approx. 2.1kΩ at low voltage) to drain ghost
voltages leaving mainly hard signal values on meter readings. It is an invaluable feature for
precise indication of hard signals, such as distinguishing between hot and open wires (to
ground) in electrical installation applications.
*Only HOLD, EF & Backlight push-button features are available in AutoV mode.

WARNING:
AutoV mode input impedance increases abruptly from initial 2.1kΩ to a few hundred kΩ’s
on high voltage hard signals. “LoZ” displays on the LCD to remind the users of being in such
low impedance mode. Peak initial load current, while probing 1000VAC for example, can be
up to 673mA (1000V x 1.414 / 2.1kΩ), decreasing abruptly to approx. 2.4mA (1000V x 1.414
/ 580kΩ) within a fraction of a second. Do not use AutoV mode on circuits that could be
damaged by such low input impedance. Instead, use rotary selector or high input
impedance voltage modes to minimize loading for such circuits.
ACV, DCV & VFD-ACV functions
Press the SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence. Last
selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience.
Note:
VFD-ACV and the associated Hz are equipped with digital low-pass filter (DSP), and are
capable of handling VFD (Variable Frequency Drives) signals for fundamental V & Hz
readings. It also improves ACV and Hz reading stability when being used in most noisy
electrical environments.

Line Frequency functions
Press the Hz push-button momentarily to toggle Hz function. It is only available to Voltage
and Current related ranges.
Input sensitivity varies automatically with the function range selected while activating the Hz
function. 6V function range has the highest and the 1000V range has the lowest. When
activated under DCV, ACV or VFD-ACV voltage function, the trigger voltage range will be
displayed right before starting the Hz readings. Press momentarily the RANGE button can
manually select another trigger voltage range (not available to current ranges). It is
recommended to first measure the signal voltage (or current) level and activate Hz function
in that range to get the most appropriate trigger level. If the Hz reading becomes unstable,
select lower sensitivity to avoid electrical noise. If the reading shows zero, select higher
sensitivity.
Resistance, BeepLitTM Continuity & Diode;
Capacitance
Press the SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence. Last
selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience.

BeepLitTM Continuity function is having improved convenience for checking wiring
connections and operation of switches. A continuous beep tone together with flashing
display backlight indicate a complete wire. Such audible and visible indications improve
continuity readabilities in noisy working environments.
In Diode function, the 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). An OL indicates an open diode
(defective). Reverse the test leads connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The digital
display shows OL if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is resistive or
shorted (defective).
CAUTION
Using resistance and continuity function in a live circuit will produce false results and may
damage the instrument. In many cases the suspected component must be disconnected
from the circuit to obtain an accurate reading.
CAUTION
Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should be
discharged through an appropriate resistance load.
ACmV & DCmV; Temperature oC & oF
Press the SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence. Last
selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience.
Note: Be sure to insert the banana plug type-K temperature bead probe Bkp60 with correct
polarities. You can also use a plug adapter Bkb32 (Optional purchase) with banana
pins to type-K socket to adapt other standard type-K mini plug temperature probes.
