4. Setup and Battery Installation

Battery Installation:

1. Ensure the multimeter is powered off.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device (refer to Figure 3, item 12).
3. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment cover.
4. Insert four (4) 1.5V AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
5. Securely close the battery compartment cover.

Connecting Test Leads:

Always connect the black test lead to the 'COM' (Public jack) terminal (Figure 3, item 7). Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input terminal based on the measurement type:

• For Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Diode, Continuity, and Temperature measurements: Connect the red test lead to the 'INPUT' terminal (Figure 3, item 10).
• For Current (mA/A) measurements: Connect the red test lead to the 'mA/A' terminal (Figure 3, item 6).

5. Operating Instructions

The VICTOR 923E features an intelligent mode that automatically identifies AC/DC voltage, resistance, and continuity measurements upon startup. For other functions, use the function switching keys.

General Operation:

1. Power On/Off: Press the power switch (Figure 3, item 4) to turn the device on or off.
2. Function Selection: After powering on, the multimeter defaults to intelligent mode. Use the left (Figure 3, item 8) and right (Figure 3, item 9) gear selection buttons to cycle through different measurement functions. The display will indicate the selected function.
3. Probe Connection Prompt: When selecting a function, an indicator light will illuminate at the corresponding jack, guiding you to insert the meter pen into the correct hole.

Specific Measurement Functions:

• DC Voltage Measurement: Select DC Voltage mode. Connect test leads to the circuit in parallel. The display will show the DC voltage.
• AC Voltage Measurement: Select AC Voltage mode. Connect test leads to the circuit in parallel. The display will show the AC voltage and accompanying frequency.
• DC Current Measurement: Select DC Current mode. Insert the red probe into the mA/A socket. Connect test leads in series with the circuit. The display will show the DC current. Shifting gears is not allowed in this mode.
• AC Current Measurement: Select AC Current mode. Insert the red probe into the mA/A socket. Connect test leads in series with the circuit. The display will show the AC current. Shifting gears is not allowed in this mode.
• Resistance Testing: Select Resistance mode. Connect test leads across the component to measure resistance.
• Continuity (On-off) Test: Select Continuity mode. Touch the test leads to the points to be tested. An audible beep indicates continuity.
• Diode Measurement: Select Diode mode. Connect test leads across the diode. The display will show the forward voltage drop.
• Capacitance Measurement: Select Capacitance mode. Connect test leads across the capacitor. The display will show the capacitance value.
• Frequency Measurement: Select Frequency mode. Connect test leads to the signal source. The display will show the frequency.
• Temperature Measurement: Select Temperature mode. Connect the temperature probe to the input terminals. Place the probe on the object to measure its temperature.
• Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Testing: Select NCV mode. Bring the top of the multimeter close to the live wire or power outlet. The device will emit an audible beep and the alarm indicator light will flash when detecting AC signals. A 'H' indicates a strong signal, and 'L' indicates a weak signal.
• Firewire Detection (LIVE): Select LIVE mode. Insert the red probe into the INPUT terminal and touch it to the live wire. The display will show 'LIVE' and an alarm will sound if a live wire is detected.

Additional Functions:

• Data Hold (HOLD): Press the 'HOLD' button (Figure 3, item 5) to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
• Flashlight: Long press the 'HOLD' button (Figure 3, item 5) for approximately 2 seconds to turn the flashlight on or off.

6. Maintenance

General Care:

• Keep the multimeter clean and dry. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

Fuse Replacement:

The VICTOR 923E features an intelligent anti-burn function with a built-in safety tube (fuse) to protect the circuit. If the fuse burns out, the display screen will show a "----" symbol. To replace the fuse:

Figure 4: Fuse Location

1. Ensure the multimeter is powered off and all test leads are disconnected.
2. Open the battery compartment cover (Figure 3, item 12).
3. Carefully remove the old fuse (Figure 3, item 13).
4. Replace it with a new fuse of the same type and rating (e.g., 10A/250V).
5. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Display/Low Battery Indicator: Check battery installation and replace batteries if necessary.
• "----" Symbol on Display: This indicates a blown fuse. Refer to the 'Fuse Replacement' section for instructions.
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure test leads are correctly connected for the selected function. Verify the component being tested is functioning correctly.
• No NCV Detection: Ensure the NCV function is selected and the multimeter is brought close enough to the AC voltage source.
• Auto Shutdown: The device automatically powers off after 15 minutes of inactivity to save battery. Press any button to reactivate.
