Setup

1. Charging the Battery

The BSIDE S20 Multimeter is equipped with a built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery. Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged.

1. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the multimeter's charging port.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
3. The charging indicator on the display will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes a few hours.

2. Connecting Test Leads

Properly connect the test leads for accurate measurements.

1. Insert the black test lead into the "COM" (Common) input jack.
2. Insert the red test lead into the "INPUT" input jack.
3. Ensure connections are secure before performing any measurements.

Operating Instructions

The BSIDE S20 features an intelligent automatic mode for most measurements. It can also be manually switched to specific functions.

1. Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button (usually located on the top right of the device) to turn the multimeter on or off. The device will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

2. Automatic Mode Selection

In automatic mode, the multimeter intelligently identifies the type of measurement (AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity) and displays the result. This is the default mode upon power-on.

3. Understanding the Display

The 3.5-inch EBTN color LCD provides clear readings with three main results:

• Test Value: The primary numerical measurement.
• Analog Bar: A graphical representation of the measurement, useful for quick trend observation.
• Frequency/Ambient Temperature: Additional contextual information displayed simultaneously.

4. Performing Measurements (General Steps)

1. Ensure the test leads are correctly connected to the multimeter.
2. Turn on the multimeter. It will typically start in automatic mode.
3. Select the desired measurement function if not using automatic mode (refer to the device's buttons for mode selection).
4. Carefully connect the test probes to the circuit or component you wish to measure.
5. Read the measurement value on the display.
6. Always disconnect the test probes from the circuit before changing functions or turning off the device.

5. Voltage Measurement (AC/DC)

To measure voltage, connect the test probes in parallel with the circuit or component. The multimeter will automatically detect AC or DC voltage in auto mode.

6. Resistance Measurement

To measure resistance, ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect the test probes across the component.

Note: The video above also shows a resistance measurement of 100.0 kΩ.

7. Continuity Test

For continuity, ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect the test probes across the path to be tested. If the resistance is below 30Ω, an audible beep will sound, indicating continuity.

Note: The video above also shows a continuity test with an audible beep.

8. Capacitance Measurement

To measure capacitance, ensure the capacitor is discharged before connecting the test probes. The BSIDE S20 offers high-speed capacitance measurement.

Note: The video above also shows a capacitance measurement of 37.1 uF.

9. EMF Detection

The integrated EMF detector helps identify electromagnetic fields. Move the multimeter near potential sources of EMF radiation.

• The display will show an EMF reading and an analog bar.
• An audible alarm will sound if a significant EMF is detected.

Note: The video above also shows the EMF detection feature with an audible alarm.

10. Live Wire Detection

To detect live wires, select the "LIVE" function. Use the red test probe to approach the wire. The multimeter will indicate the presence of live voltage with an alarm and display changes.

Note: The video above also shows the live wire detection feature.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.

Storage

Store the multimeter in its protective carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.
