4. Setup

4.1. Battery Installation

The BSIDE S7 uses two 3V CR2032 button batteries. These are typically pre-installed. If replacement is needed, refer to the exploded view diagram in the Product Overview section for battery compartment location. Ensure correct polarity when installing new batteries.

4.2. Initial Power On

Press the power button (U) to turn on the multimeter. The device will typically enter auto-ranging mode by default.

5. Operating Instructions

The BSIDE S7 features intelligent automatic identification for most common measurements, simplifying operation.

5.1. Auto Mode Selection

In auto mode, the multimeter automatically measures voltage (DC/AC), resistance, continuity, and frequency without manual range selection.

5.2. DC Voltage Measurement

Connect the test leads to the circuit. The multimeter will automatically detect and display the DC voltage. The display may show a green backlight for low readings and a red backlight for high readings.

5.3. AC Voltage Measurement

Connect the test leads to the AC circuit. The multimeter will automatically detect and display the AC voltage and frequency.

5.4. Resistance Measurement

Connect the test leads across the component to measure resistance. The multimeter will automatically display the resistance value.

5.5. Continuity Test

If the resistance between the test leads is less than 30Ω, the beeper will sound, indicating continuity.

5.6. V-Alert (Non-Contact Voltage Detection)

Press the V-Alert button. Hold the top part of the multimeter near a live wire or electrical outlet. The device will indicate the presence of AC voltage through an alarm and visual cues on the display.

5.7. Live Wire Check

Press the V-Alert button. When the multimeter detects a live wire, the LCD screen will display "LIVE" and an alarm will sound.

5.8. Flashlight

Press the mode switch/flashlight button (SEL) to activate the built-in flashlight for working in dimly lit environments.

5.9. Data Hold

The device supports data hold functionality. Refer to the specific button layout on your device for the 'HOLD' button, if present, to freeze the current reading on the display.

5.10. Automatic Power Off

The multimeter will automatically power off after 5 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning

Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

6.2. Battery Replacement

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two CR2032 batteries. Ensure the device is powered off and test leads are disconnected before opening the battery compartment.

6.3. Storage

Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on: Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Verify the measurement mode is appropriate for the task.
• Display issues: If the display is dim or flickering, replace the batteries.

For persistent issues, contact customer support.

8. Specifications

8.1. Model Comparison (S7 vs. ADMS9)

The BSIDE S7 (also known as ADMS7) offers 6000 counts, while the ADMS9 series provides 9999 counts and additional functions like Capacitance and Diode testing. Refer to the table below for a detailed comparison:

9. User Tips

• Screen Protector: Upon receiving your multimeter, you may notice what appears to be 'traces' or scratches on the LCD. This is typically a protective film. Gently peel it off to reveal the pristine screen underneath.
• Portability: The ultra-thin design allows the S7 to fit easily into a pocket, making it highly portable for on-the-go measurements. Utilize the included lanyard for added security.
