TOOLTOP ET2010A Digital Oscilloscope Multimeter User Manual

1. Introduction

The TOOLTOP ET2010A is a versatile handheld device combining the functionalities of a digital oscilloscope and a multimeter. It is designed for electronic enthusiasts, DIYers, and professionals requiring a portable tool for waveform analysis and electrical measurements. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation of your ET2010A device.

2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using the device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the device.

• Do not exceed the maximum input ratings for voltage, current, or frequency.
• Ensure probes are correctly connected and the function dial is set to the appropriate measurement mode before making any connections.
• Avoid using the device in wet environments or near flammable gases.
• Inspect probes and cables for damage before each use. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the device. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
• Always disconnect power from the circuit under test before connecting or disconnecting probes, especially when measuring current.

3. Product Overview

The TOOLTOP ET2010A integrates a digital oscilloscope and a multimeter into a compact, handheld unit. Below is an illustration of the device with its main components identified.

Figure 3.1: Front view of the TOOLTOP ET2010A. This image shows the device from a front-right angle. The screen displays an oscilloscope waveform. Probes are connected to the 10A and VΩCx input jacks. The rotary dial is set to an oscilloscope function.

Key Components:

• LCD Display: Shows waveform, measurement readings, and settings.
• Function Buttons (F1-F4): Context-sensitive buttons for menu navigation and settings adjustment.
• AUTO Button: Automatically adjusts oscilloscope settings for optimal waveform display.
• SAVE Button: Saves current waveform or measurement data.
• Rotary Dial: Selects between Oscilloscope (OSC) and various Multimeter functions (V~, V-, Ω, Cx, 10A, etc.).
• Input Jacks:
  • 10A: Input for high current measurements.
  • COM: Common (ground) input for all measurements.
  • VΩCx: Input for voltage, resistance, capacitance, diode, and continuity measurements, and oscilloscope input.

4. Setup

4.1. Powering On/Off

The device is powered by an internal rechargeable battery. To power on, press and hold the power button (usually integrated with one of the function buttons or a dedicated button, not explicitly visible in the provided image, assume standard operation). To power off, press and hold the same button. Ensure the device is charged before first use.

4.2. Probe Connection

For most measurements (voltage, resistance, capacitance, oscilloscope), connect the black probe to the COM jack and the red probe to the VΩCx jack. For high current (10A) measurements, connect the red probe to the 10A jack and the black probe to the COM jack.

5. Operating Modes

5.1. Oscilloscope Mode (OSC)

Turn the rotary dial to the OSC position to enter oscilloscope mode. The screen will display a waveform graph.

• AUTO Button: Press AUTO for automatic waveform scaling and positioning. This is useful for quickly getting a stable display.
• F1-F4 Buttons: These buttons control various oscilloscope parameters such as vertical sensitivity (Volts/Div), horizontal time base (Time/Div), trigger settings, and measurement cursors. Refer to the on-screen menu for specific functions.
• Waveform Parameters: The display typically shows key parameters like Peak-to-Peak Voltage (Vp-p), Average Voltage (Vavg), RMS Voltage (Vrms), and Frequency (kHz).
• SAVE Button: Use the SAVE button to store the current waveform data for later review.

5.2. Multimeter Mode

Turn the rotary dial to the desired measurement function (e.g., V~ for AC voltage, V- for DC voltage, Ω for resistance, Cx for capacitance, 10A for current). Ensure probes are connected to the correct jacks for the selected measurement.

• Voltage Measurement (V~ / V-): Connect probes in parallel with the circuit component. Select AC (V~) or DC (V-) as appropriate.
• Resistance Measurement (Ω): Ensure the circuit is de-energized. Connect probes across the component.
• Capacitance Measurement (Cx): Ensure the capacitor is discharged before connecting probes.
• Current Measurement (10A): WARNING: Connect the meter in series with the circuit. Ensure the red probe is in the 10A jack. Never connect the meter in parallel when measuring current, as this can damage the device and the circuit.
• Diode Test / Continuity: These functions are typically grouped. Diode test measures forward voltage drop. Continuity test emits a beep for low resistance connections.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Care: Recharge the internal battery regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Probe Inspection: Periodically check probes and leads for cuts, cracks, or frayed insulation. Replace damaged leads immediately to prevent electrical hazards.
