2. Safety Information
Your safety is paramount. Always adhere to the following safety precautions when using electrical testing equipment.
General Safety Guidelines:
- Always inspect the tools, test leads, and accessories for damage before use. Do not use if any part is damaged.
- Do not exceed the maximum input values specified for each measurement function.
- Exercise extreme caution when working with voltages above 30V AC RMS, 42V peak, or 60V DC. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
- Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the test probes during measurements.
- Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed before operation.
- Do not operate the tools in explosive atmospheres or in the presence of flammable gases or dust.
- Always disconnect power to the circuit before stripping or cutting wires, unless using the non-contact voltage detection feature to confirm absence of voltage.
TSM-522S Multimeter Specific Safety:
- The TSM-522S is rated for CAT III 600V. Adhere to this rating and do not use it for measurements exceeding this category or voltage.
- Never apply voltage to the input terminals when the function switch is set to Resistance, Capacitance, Diode, or Continuity mode.
- Ensure the correct function and range are selected before making a measurement.
TWS-322 Wire Stripper Specific Safety:
- Always confirm the absence of voltage using the integrated NCV function or the TSM-522S Multimeter before stripping or cutting live wires.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when using the wire stripper.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 TSM-522S Smart Multimeter Operation
The TSM-522S features a smart mode that automatically identifies measurement types, as well as manual modes for specific functions.
Power On/Off:
- Press the Power button (U) to turn the multimeter on.
- Press and hold the Power button to turn it off. The device also features an auto shut-off function to conserve battery.
Function Selection:
- Upon powering on, the multimeter typically defaults to Smart Mode, which automatically detects AC/DC voltage, resistance, and continuity.
- Press the FUNC button to cycle through specific measurement modes (e.g., AC Voltage, DC Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Diode, Continuity, Frequency).
Common Measurements:
- AC/DC Voltage Measurement:
a. Ensure the multimeter is in the appropriate voltage mode (AC V or DC V, or Smart Mode).
b. Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative (-) side or ground.
c. Read the voltage value on the display.

- Resistance Measurement:
a. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measuring resistance.
b. Select Resistance mode (Ω).
c. Connect the test leads across the component or circuit to be measured.
d. Read the resistance value. - Capacitance Measurement:
a. Ensure the capacitor is fully discharged before measurement.
b. Select Capacitance mode.
c. Connect the test leads across the capacitor terminals.
d. Read the capacitance value. - Continuity Test:
a. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
b. Select Continuity mode. The multimeter will emit an audible beep if continuity is detected (low resistance).
c. Connect the test leads across the circuit or component. - NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) Detection:
a. Select NCV mode.
b. Place the top of the multimeter (NCV sensing area) near the conductor or outlet.
c. The multimeter will indicate the presence of AC voltage through visual and/or audible alerts.
