4. Setup

4.1. Charging the Battery

The Mastfuyi FY159B is equipped with a rechargeable 1000mAh lithium battery. Before initial use, ensure the device is fully charged.

• Connect the provided USB charging cable to the multimeter's charging port.
• Connect the other end of the USB cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
• A red indicator light will illuminate during charging.
• The indicator light will turn green when the battery is fully charged.

4.2. Connecting Test Leads

Proper connection of test leads is crucial for accurate and safe measurements.

• Insert the black test lead into the COM (Common) input jack.
• For most measurements (voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, diode), insert the red test lead into the VΩ°C°FHz input jack.
• For high current measurements (up to 10A), insert the red test lead into the 10A input jack.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Power On/Off

Press the Turn On/Off button to power the multimeter on. The device features an automatic shutdown function to conserve battery life after a period of inactivity.

5.2. Voltage Measurement

To measure AC or DC voltage:

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the VΩ°C°FHz jack.
2. Turn on the multimeter. The device will automatically detect AC or DC voltage.
3. Carefully touch the test probes to the points in the circuit where you want to measure voltage.
4. Read the voltage value displayed on the screen.

5.3. Capacitance Measurement

To measure capacitance:

1. Ensure the capacitor is fully discharged before testing.
2. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the VΩ°C°FHz jack.
3. Select the capacitance measurement mode using the SEL button if necessary.
4. Connect the test probes across the terminals of the capacitor.
5. Read the capacitance value displayed on the screen.

5.4. Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) / Live Wire Checking

The NCV function allows for detection of AC voltage without direct contact, enhancing safety.

1. Select the NCV mode. You can adjust sensitivity (H/L NCV) if available.
2. Bring the NCV probe (top of the multimeter) close to the wire or outlet you wish to test.
3. The multimeter will indicate the presence of AC voltage through an audible beep and a visual indicator on the screen (e.g., 'LIVE' icon, changing bar graph).
4. For zeroline/fireline identification, the analog bar will be full and the buzzer will sound when measuring a live line; there will be no response for a neutral line.

5.5. Breakpoint Determination

This function helps identify breaks in electrical wires.

1. Select the breakpoint determination mode.
2. Move the NCV probe along the insulated wire.
3. The multimeter will indicate a change (e.g., loss of signal, 'LO' display) at the point where the wire is broken.

5.6. Diode Test

To test diodes:

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to the VΩ°C°FHz jack.
2. Select the diode test mode using the SEL button.
3. Connect the red probe to the anode and the black probe to the cathode of the diode.
4. The multimeter will display the forward voltage drop. Reverse the probes; an open circuit (OL) reading indicates a good diode.

5.7. Resistance and Frequency Measurement

The multimeter also supports resistance and frequency measurements. Connect the test leads as for voltage measurement (red to VΩ°C°FHz, black to COM) and select the appropriate mode using the SEL button. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measuring resistance.

6. Maintenance

6.1. 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 disconnected from any circuits before cleaning.

6.2. Fuse Replacement

The Mastfuyi FY159B features an easy-to-replace current fuse design. If the current measurement function fails, the fuse may need replacement.

• Power off the multimeter and disconnect all test leads.
• Refer to the device's internal diagram or casing for fuse compartment access.
• Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the exact same type and rating to ensure continued safety and proper operation.
