Key Features

• Automatic Identification Design: Automatically identifies AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, frequency (Hz), continuity, and resistance, eliminating manual range selection.
• Transparent "Hz" Button: This button illuminates green or red to indicate AC voltage strength, live wire detection, or continuity.
• Dual Side Probe Holder Design: Test probes can be securely fixed in integrated holders for convenient single-hand measurements or safely stored to prevent accidental contact with the tips.

Note: Batteries (2 x AAA) are not included in the package due to aviation security regulations. Please purchase them separately.

Setup

Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the multimeter.
2. Use a screwdriver (not included) to open the battery compartment.
3. Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

Connecting Test Probes

• Insert the red test lead into the "VΩHz" input jack.
• Insert the black test lead into the "COM" (common) input jack.
• For current measurements (mA), insert the red test lead into the "mA" input jack and the black test lead into the "COM" jack.

Operating Instructions

The ADMS6 features an intelligent automatic identification system, simplifying most measurements. Turn the rotary switch to the desired general measurement mode (e.g., Multimeter, V-Alert, Live Check).

Automatic Measurement Mode (Multimeter)

When the rotary switch is set to "Multimeter", the device will automatically detect and measure:

• AC/DC Voltage: Connect probes across the circuit or component.
• AC/DC Current: Connect probes in series with the circuit.
• Resistance (Ω): Connect probes across the component.
• Continuity: If resistance is less than 30Ω, the beeper will sound.
• Frequency (Hz): The device will automatically detect frequency.

V-Alert (Non-Contact Voltage Detection)

Set the rotary switch to "V-Alert". Bring the top of the multimeter close to an AC voltage source. The device will beep and the "Hz" button will light up, indicating the presence of voltage. The intensity of the light (green/red) indicates voltage strength.

Live Wire Check

Set the rotary switch to "Live Check". Use the red probe to touch the wire. If it's a live wire, an alarm beep will sound, the LCD screen will display "LIVE", and the "Hz" button will light up.

HOLD Function

Press the "HOLD" button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live readings.

Backlight

Press the "HOLD" button for a few seconds to turn the backlight on or off, improving visibility in low-light conditions.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the multimeter, wipe the case with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off and probes are disconnected before cleaning.

Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions.

Fuse Protection

The ADMS6 features recoverable fuses. In case of an overload, the fuse will trip to protect the circuit. Allow a short period for the fuse to reset. If the issue persists, ensure correct measurement procedures are followed.

Storage

When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• No Display/Power On:
  • Check if batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the rotary switch is not in the "OFF" position.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Verify that the test probes are securely connected to the correct input jacks.
  • Ensure the probes are making good contact with the circuit or component being tested.
  • Check battery level; low batteries can affect accuracy.
• "OL" (Overload) Displayed:
  • The measured value exceeds the meter's maximum range for the selected function. Ensure you are within the specified limits.
• No Continuity Beep:
  • Ensure the resistance is below 30Ω for the beeper to activate.
  • Check for open circuits or poor connections.
