Setup

Multimeter Setup (SZ301)

1. Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment on the back of the multimeter and insert the two AA batteries, observing polarity. Close the compartment securely.
2. Test Lead Connection:
   • Insert the black test lead into the "COM" (Common) jack.
   • For most measurements (voltage, resistance, continuity, diode), insert the red test lead into the "VΩmA+" jack.
   • For high current measurements (up to 10A), insert the red test lead into the "10A MAX" jack.
3. Power On: Rotate the rotary switch to the desired measurement function to power on the multimeter.

Soldering Iron Setup (SL106)

1. Tip Installation: Ensure the soldering iron is unplugged and cool. Screw the desired soldering tip firmly into the heating element.
2. Stand Placement: Place the simple soldering iron stand on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the cleaning sponge is moistened and placed in its tray.
3. Power Connection: Plug the soldering iron into a standard 110V-240V AC power outlet. The LCD display will illuminate.

Operating Instructions

Using the Multimeter (SZ301)

Before any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly inserted and the rotary switch is set to the appropriate function and range.

1. Measuring AC Voltage:
   • Set the rotary switch to the "V~" (AC Voltage) range.
   • Connect the test leads in parallel to the circuit or component you wish to measure.
   • Read the voltage value on the LCD display.

2. Measuring DC Voltage:
   • Set the rotary switch to the "V-" (DC Voltage) range.
   • Connect the red test lead to the positive (+) side and the black test lead to the negative (-) side of the DC source.
   • Read the voltage value on the LCD display.

3. Measuring AC Current:
   • Important: Disconnect power to the circuit. Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit.
   • Set the rotary switch to the "A~" (AC Current) range. For high currents, use the "10A MAX" jack for the red lead.
   • Apply power to the circuit and read the current value.

4. Measuring Resistance:
   • Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
   • Set the rotary switch to the "Ω" (Resistance) range.
   • Connect the test leads across the component.
   • Read the resistance value.
5. Continuity Test:
   • Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
   • Set the rotary switch to the "Continuity" (diode/buzzer) symbol.
   • Touch the test leads to the ends of the circuit or component. A beep indicates continuity.
6. Diode Test:
   • Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
   • Set the rotary switch to the "Diode" symbol.
   • Connect the red lead to the anode and the black lead to the cathode of the diode. Read the forward voltage drop. Reverse the leads to check for open circuit.
7. HOLD Function: Press the "HOLD" button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
8. SEL Function: Press the "SEL" button to switch between different measurement modes within a single rotary switch position (e.g., AC/DC, Diode/Continuity).

Using the Soldering Iron (SL106)

1. Power On and Heating: Plug in the soldering iron. The LCD display will show the current temperature. The iron heats up rapidly, typically within 10 seconds.
2. Adjusting Temperature: Use the knob wheel on the handle to adjust the temperature between 356℉-968℉ (180℃-520℃). The LCD will show the set temperature.
3. Tinning the Tip: Once the iron reaches the desired temperature, melt a small amount of solder onto the tip. This "tins" the tip, improving heat transfer and preventing oxidation.
4. Soldering:
   • Clean the components to be soldered.
   • Place the hot soldering iron tip onto the joint to heat both the component lead and the pad simultaneously.
   • Apply solder to the heated joint, not directly to the iron tip. The solder should flow smoothly and evenly.
   • Remove the solder wire, then remove the soldering iron. Allow the joint to cool naturally without disturbance.
5. Changing Tips: Ensure the soldering iron is unplugged and completely cool. Unscrew the current tip and screw in the desired new tip.

Maintenance

Multimeter Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the multimeter with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
• Fuse Replacement: If the current measurement function fails, the fuse may need replacement. Refer to specifications for fuse type. Ensure the multimeter is off and leads are disconnected before opening the battery/fuse compartment.
• Storage: Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods.

Soldering Iron Maintenance

• Tip Cleaning: Regularly wipe the soldering iron tip on the moistened sponge during use to remove excess solder and oxidation.
• Tip Tinning: Always re-tin the tip with a small amount of fresh solder after cleaning and before storing to prevent oxidation.
• Tip Care: Do not file or sand the soldering tip, as this can damage the plating.
• Storage: Store the soldering iron in its stand or the provided carrying bag once completely cooled.
