ALLmeter Pen Type Digital Multimeter AC Voltage Tester (Model B0C4SRMFMD) Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and effective use of your ALLmeter Pen Type Digital Multimeter, Model B0C4SRMFMD. This device is designed for measuring AC/DC voltage, resistance, diode, and continuity. It also features non-contact voltage (NCV) detection and live wire identification. Please read this manual thoroughly before operation and retain it for future reference.

2. Safety Information

WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Improper use of this meter can cause injury or death. Follow all safety precautions.

• Always ensure the meter is in good working condition before use. Inspect for any damage to the casing or test leads.
• Do not attempt to measure voltages or currents exceeding the specified maximum limits.
• Exercise extreme caution when working with live circuits. Always assume circuits are live until verified otherwise.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and insulated gloves.
• Do not use the meter in wet environments or if your hands are wet.
• Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed before operation.
• This device is designed for AC voltage detection in NCV mode and cannot measure DC current.

4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

The ALLmeter Pen Type Digital Multimeter requires one AAA battery (included). To install or replace the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover, typically at the rear or top of the device.
2. Open the cover.
3. Insert one AAA battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

The device includes a low-battery indicator on the LCD display to signal when replacement is needed.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

Press the 'Select' button to power on the device. The device will automatically power off after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

5.2 Automatic Measurement Function

In automatic mode, the meter intelligently detects the type of measurement (DC/AC voltage or resistance) and displays the value. This simplifies the measurement process by eliminating the need to manually select ranges.

Figure 5.1: Examples of automatic measurement displays for AC voltage, DC voltage, and resistance (Ohm).

5.3 Manual Functions (Electric Field and Live Wire Detection)

Pressing the 'N/L' button cycles through additional functions. Note that in these modes, only AC can be measured, not DC.

Figure 5.2: Displays for Electric Field (EF) and Live Wire (LIVE) detection modes.

• EF (Electric Fields): This mode detects electric fields without requiring a ground wire. Bring the tip close to a wire to detect if it is live.
• LIVE (Live Wire): In this mode, the device functions as an AC detector. Touch the tip to a wire, and it will beep if the wire is live.

5.4 Diode Measurement

To measure a diode:

1. Press the 'Select' button repeatedly until the diode symbol appears on the screen.
2. Connect the test leads to the diode.

5.5 Continuity Test

The continuity test checks for an unbroken path in a circuit. If a continuous path is detected, the meter will emit an audible beep.

5.6 Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) Detection

The NCV feature allows for safe detection of AC voltage without direct contact. The device will indicate the presence of AC voltage within a range of 12V-1000V. In NCV mode, it can only detect alternating current (AC) and cannot measure direct current (DC).

5.7 Data Hold (HOLD Key)

Press the 'HOLD' button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold function.

5.8 LED Flashlight

The built-in LED light can be activated to illuminate dimly lit work areas. Refer to the product overview for the location of the LED light.

6. Applications
