5. Setup
5.1 Battery Installation
The ANENG 620A Multimeter requires two 1.5V AAA batteries (not included). To install or replace batteries:
- Ensure the multimeter is turned off and test leads are disconnected from any circuit.
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the multimeter.
- Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment.
- Insert two AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.
5.2 Connecting Test Leads
To connect the test leads:
- Insert the black test lead into the "COM" (common) input jack.
- Insert the red test lead into the "VHz" (Voltage, Frequency, Resistance, Diode, Capacitance, Temperature) input jack for most measurements.
- For current measurements (mA/A), insert the red test lead into the "10A" or "mA" input jack as appropriate for the expected current range.
Note: Always ensure test leads are fully inserted into the jacks.
6. Operating Instructions
The ANENG 620A Multimeter features both automatic and manual measurement modes. It will automatically select the appropriate range for most measurements.
6.1 Power On/Off
Press the power button to turn the multimeter on. The display will light up. To turn off, press the power button again. The multimeter will automatically shut down after 15 minutes of inactivity.
6.2 Function Selection
The multimeter primarily operates in automatic mode. To cycle through specific sub-functions (e.g., AC/DC voltage, Diode/Continuity), press the "FUNC" button.
6.3 Measurement Functions
Figure 6: Visual guide to various measurement functions of the ANENG 620A Multimeter, including voltage, current, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, temperature, NCV, zero line, and firewire recognition.
6.3.1 AC/DC Voltage Measurement
Connect the red test lead to the VHz input and the black test lead to the COM input. Touch the test probes to the circuit points where voltage is to be measured. The multimeter will automatically detect AC or DC voltage and display the reading.
6.3.2 AC/DC Current Measurement
Caution: To measure current, the multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before connecting the multimeter. Connect the red test lead to the 10A or mA input (depending on expected current) and the black test lead to the COM input. Break the circuit and insert the multimeter in series. Re-energize the circuit to take the reading.
6.3.3 Resistance Measurement
Connect the red test lead to the VHz input and the black test lead to the COM input. Ensure the circuit or component is de-energized. Touch the test probes across the component to measure its resistance.
6.3.4 Continuity Test
Connect the red test lead to the VHz input and the black test lead to the COM input. Press the "FUNC" button until the continuity symbol (buzzer icon) is displayed. Touch the test probes to the points to be tested. A continuous beep indicates a good connection (low resistance).
6.3.5 Diode Test
Connect the red test lead to the VHz input and the black test lead to the COM input. Press the "FUNC" button until the diode symbol is displayed. Touch the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode of the diode. The display will show the forward voltage drop. Reverse the probes; an open circuit reading indicates a good diode.
6.3.6 Capacitance Measurement
Connect the red test lead to the VHz input and the black test lead to the COM input. Press the "FUNC" button until the capacitance symbol is displayed. Ensure the capacitor is fully discharged before testing. Touch the test probes to the capacitor terminals. The display will show the capacitance value.
6.3.7 Temperature Measurement
Connect the temperature cable to the VHz and COM inputs, observing polarity if indicated. Press the "FUNC" button until the temperature symbol (°C/°F) is displayed. Place the temperature probe on the object or in the environment to be measured. The display will show the temperature reading.
6.3.8 Frequency Measurement
Connect the red test lead to the VHz input and the black test lead to the COM input. Press the "FUNC" button until the frequency symbol (Hz) is displayed. Touch the test probes to the circuit points where frequency is to be measured.
6.3.9 NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) Detection
Long press the NCV button. Bring the top of the multimeter near a live AC voltage source. The display will show "EF" and the meter will beep and flash, indicating the presence of AC voltage without direct contact.
6.3.10 Zero Line Identification and Firewire Recognition
Insert one test lead (typically red) into the VHz input. For Zero Line Identification, insert the probe into the neutral socket; the screen will not beep. For Firewire Recognition, insert the probe into the live socket; the screen will display "Live" and beep rapidly.
6.4 Backlight and Flashlight Function
Press the side backlight button to turn on the display backlight and the integrated flashlight. This is useful for working in dimly lit environments. Press the button again to turn them off.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
Wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Keep the input terminals free of dirt and moisture.
7.2 Battery Replacement
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in Section 5.1. Always use two new 1.5V AAA batteries.
7.3 Fuse Replacement
