Setup

Battery Installation:

The Mastfuyi FY372B requires two 1.5V AAA batteries for operation. These are included in the package.

1. Ensure the meter is turned off and no test leads are connected.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the meter.
3. Use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment cover.
4. Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.

A low battery indicator will appear on the display when the battery voltage is low, signaling that the batteries need replacement.

Operating Instructions

The FY372B features a Smart Mode for automatic measurement recognition and an SEL button for manual function selection.

Figure 3: The Smart Mode automatically detects and ranges measurements. The NCV/LIVE button allows switching between Non-Contact Voltage detection and Live Wire testing.

1. Power On/Off and Smart Mode:

• Press the /SEL button to turn the meter on. It will default to Smart Mode.
• In Smart Mode, the meter automatically detects the measurement type (AC/DC voltage, resistance, continuity) and selects the appropriate range.
• Press and hold the /SEL button to turn the meter off.

2. Function Selection (SEL Button):

• From Smart Mode, short press the /SEL button to cycle through manual measurement functions such as Diode, Capacitance, Frequency, and Temperature.
• The selected function will be indicated on the LCD display.

3. AC Current Measurement (Clamp Jaw):

To measure AC current, use the clamp jaw. Do not use test leads for current measurement with the clamp.

1. Turn on the meter.
2. Open the clamp jaw and enclose a single conductor (not a bundle of wires) through which the AC current flows.
3. The AC current reading will be displayed on the screen. The meter can simultaneously display frequency when measuring AC current.

4. AC/DC Voltage Measurement:

1. Insert the red test lead into the "VΩHz" input jack and the black test lead into the "COM" input jack.
2. Turn on the meter. In Smart Mode, it will automatically detect AC or DC voltage.
3. Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit or component you wish to measure.
4. Read the voltage value on the display.

5. Resistance, Continuity, Diode, Capacitance, Frequency Measurement:

1. Insert the red test lead into the "VΩHz" input jack and the black test lead into the "COM" input jack.
2. Turn on the meter.
3. For Resistance and Continuity, Smart Mode will automatically detect. For Diode, Capacitance, or Frequency, short press the /SEL button until the desired function is selected.
4. Connect the test leads to the component or circuit. Ensure power is off and capacitors are discharged for resistance, continuity, and diode tests.
5. Read the measurement on the display. For continuity, an audible beep indicates a continuous circuit.

6. Temperature Measurement:

The meter includes a K-type thermocouple for temperature measurements.

1. Insert the K-type thermocouple into the "VΩHz" and "COM" input jacks, observing polarity.
2. Turn on the meter and short press the /SEL button until the temperature function (indicated by °C/°F) is selected.
3. Place the thermocouple tip on or near the object whose temperature you wish to measure.
4. The display will show the temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

7. NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) Detection:

NCV allows detection of AC voltage without direct contact.

1. Short press the NCV/LIVE button to activate NCV mode.
2. Move the meter's NCV sensor (located at the top of the clamp jaw) close to the conductor or outlet.
3. If AC voltage is detected, the meter will emit audible beeps and the NCV indicator lights will flash. The frequency of beeps and flashes increases with stronger voltage signals.

8. LIVE Wire Test:

The LIVE function helps identify live wires.

1. Short press the NCV/LIVE button again to switch from NCV to LIVE mode.
2. Insert the red test lead into the "VΩHz" input jack. The black test lead is not used for this function.
3. Touch the red test lead to the conductor you want to test.
4. If the wire is live, the display will show "LIVE" and the meter will emit an audible alarm.

9. Data Hold (H) and Illumination (Flashlight):

• Data Hold: Short press the H/ button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
• Illumination (Flashlight): Long press the H/ button to turn on the built-in flashlight. Long press again to turn it off.
