4. Operating Instructions

4.1 M127 Digital Multimeter Operation

  1. Power On/Off:
    Press the power button (Power button icon) to turn the multimeter on. The device will automatically enter auto-identification mode. Press and hold the power button to turn it off.
  2. Automatic Identification:
    The M127 features automatic identification, meaning you do not need to manually select the measurement range for basic functions like voltage and resistance. Simply connect the probes to the circuit, and the multimeter will automatically detect the type of measurement and display the value.
  3. AC Voltage Measurement:
    Connect the test leads to the AC voltage source. The multimeter will automatically detect and display the AC voltage (Unit: V). The auto range is 1V~400V.

  15. Flashlight and Backlight:
    Press the flashlight button (Flashlight icon) to turn on the flashlight for working in dark environments. Long press the backlight button (Backlight icon) to activate the screen backlight.
  16. Data Hold:
    Short press the 'H' button (Hold button icon) to hold the current displayed value. Press again to release.

4.2 BT138 Battery Level Detector Operation

  1. Battery Testing:
    Place the battery to be tested between the positive and negative terminals of the BT138. The magnetic design ensures good contact.
  2. Reading the Display:
    The digital display screen will show the voltage of the tested battery. Refer to the Battery Reference Table in the Specifications section to interpret the battery level (Fully charged, Medium power, Low battery).

This video illustrates the compact design, battery installation, test lead connection, and various measurement functions including AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity, NCV, and live wire detection for the M127, as well as battery testing with the BT138.

5. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Keep the device clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the multimeter and battery tester in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Battery Replacement (M127): When the low battery indicator appears on the M127 display, replace the two 1.5V AAA batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings.
  • Long-term Storage: If the M127 multimeter will not be used for an extended period, remove the AAA batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion. The BT138 does not require battery removal as it is powered by the tested battery.

6. Troubleshooting

  • M127 Not Powering On: Check if the AAA batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
  • M127 Inaccurate Readings: Ensure test leads are properly connected and not damaged. Verify the correct measurement mode is selected (though auto-identification handles most).
  • BT138 No Display: If the BT138 screen does not display a voltage, it indicates that the battery being tested is completely discharged or there is poor contact with the terminals. Ensure good contact and try testing a known good battery.
  • Product Not Operating Properly / Artificial Damage: For complex issues or suspected artificial damage, refer to the support section for contact information. Proper electrical knowledge and usage are required to prevent damage.

8. User Tips

  • M127 Auto-Identification: Take advantage of the M127's automatic identification feature. For common measurements like voltage and resistance, simply connect the probes, and the meter will automatically select the correct range and function, saving time and reducing errors.
  • BT138 Battery-Powered: Remember that the BT138 draws power from the battery it's testing. If the battery is completely dead, the BT138's screen may not light up. This is normal behavior and indicates a fully discharged battery.
  • Low Light Conditions: Utilize the M127's backlight and flashlight functions when working in dimly lit areas. A long press on the backlight button will illuminate the screen, and a short press on the flashlight button will provide direct illumination.
  • Hands-Free Use: The M127 includes a built-in back support frame. Extend it to prop up the multimeter on a workbench for easier viewing during prolonged use.
