5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

The ANENG V01A Multimeter requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included) for operation.

1. Ensure the multimeter is powered off.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the multimeter.
3. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
4. Insert two AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

5.2 Connecting Test Leads

Always connect the black test lead to the COM jack. Connect the red test lead to the appropriate input jack based on the measurement you intend to perform.

• For Voltage, Resistance, Continuity, and milliampere Current (mA) measurements: Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack.
• For high current (up to 10A) measurements: Connect the red test lead to the 10A Fused jack.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off and Auto Range

Press the Power button to turn the multimeter on. The V01A features an auto-range function, meaning it automatically recognizes and displays the measurement data without requiring manual range selection. To turn off the multimeter, press the Power button again. The device also has an Auto Power Off feature to conserve battery life.

6.2 Measurement Functions

6.2.1 DC Voltage Measurement

Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. Connect the probes across the DC voltage source. The multimeter will automatically detect and display the DC voltage.

6.2.2 AC Voltage Measurement

Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. Connect the probes across the AC voltage source. The multimeter will automatically detect and display the AC voltage (True RMS).

6.2.3 DC/AC Current Measurement (mA/A)

Caution: To measure current, the multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit. Never connect the multimeter in parallel with a voltage source when in current mode, as this can damage the device or blow the fuse.

• For milliampere (mA) current: Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
• For ampere (A) current (up to 10A): Connect the red test lead to the 10A Fused jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.

Break the circuit and connect the multimeter in series. The multimeter will automatically detect and display the current.

6.2.4 Resistance Measurement

Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. Ensure the circuit or component is de-energized before measuring resistance. Connect the probes across the component. The multimeter will automatically detect and display the resistance in Ohms (Ω), kilo-Ohms (kΩ), or Mega-Ohms (MΩ).

6.2.5 Continuity Test

Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Touch the probes to the two points you want to test for continuity. If there is continuity (low resistance), the multimeter will emit an audible beep.

6.2.6 Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection

Press the NCV button. Hold the top part of the multimeter near an AC voltage source (e.g., a live wire or outlet). The multimeter will indicate the presence of AC voltage through an audible beep and/or visual indicator on the display, without direct contact.

6.2.7 Battery Test (1.5V, 9V, 12V)

The multimeter can test common battery voltages. Connect the red test lead to the VΩmA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack. Connect the probes to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The multimeter will display the battery voltage.

6.3 Special Functions

• Data Hold (H): Short press the H/* button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
• Backlight/Flashlight (*): Long press the H/* button to turn on the display backlight and the integrated flashlight. Long press again to turn them off. This is useful for working in dimly lit environments.
• Auto Power Off: The multimeter will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to save battery life.
• Low Battery Indication: A battery icon will appear on the display when the battery voltage is low, indicating that the batteries need to be replaced.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

Wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Keep the input jacks free of dust and debris.

7.2 Battery Replacement

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in Section 5.1. Always use 2 x AAA batteries.

7.3 Storage

If the multimeter is not used for a long period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage to the device. Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
