Do not exceed the maximum allowed input range of any function (e.g. circuit whose voltage exceeds 1.000 Volt). Set function switch to the appropriate position before measuring. When changing ranges always disconnect the test probes [15] from the circuit under test. Do not apply voltage to meter when resistance function is selected. When measuring volts do not switch to current/ resistance modes. To avoid electrical shocks, disconnect the meter from any circuit. Remove the test probes [15] from the Negative/COM probe connector [13] and the positive probe connector [14]. Then, turn OFF the meter before opening the housing. Do not operate the meter with an open housing. FIRST TIME USAGE Remove all protection foils. AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS · Turn the rotary function selector [06] to the position "200A". · Place the current fork [02] around the line under measurement. The LCD display [04] will show the measured current in the line. WARNING Ensure that the test probes [15] are disconnected from the meter before making current clamp measurements. 4 VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS (AC OR DC) · Insert the black test probe [15] into the Negative/COM probe connector [13] and the red test probe [15] into the positive probe connector [14]. · Turn the rotary function selector [06] to the position "Volt Auto". (The device will automatically select between AC or DC.) · Connect the test probes [15] in parallel to the circuit under test. · The Measured Value [J] will show the measured Voltage in the circuit under test. (In case of AC measurements, the device makes a TRUE RMS measurement.) LOW IMPENDANCE (LOW Z) VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS NOTES Observe all safety precautions when working on live circuits. Do not connect to circuits that exceed 600V AC/DC when the meter is set to Low Z. Capacitive coupling between wires make it appear that non-powered wires are connected to a real source of voltage. The Low Z setting places a load on the circuit. which dissipates and greatly reduces ghost voltage. · Insert the black test probe [15] into the Negative/COM probe connector [13] and the red test probe [15] into the positive probe connector [14]. · Turn the rotary function selector [06] to the position "Volt Low Z". · Press the MODE button to select between AC or DC voltage. The LCD display [04] shows the AC symbol [A] or DC symbol [C]. · Connect the test probes [15] to the circuit under test. (When measuring DC voltage, touch the red test lead to the positive side of the circuit and the black test lead to the negative side of the circuit.) · The Measured Value [J] will show the measured Voltage in the circuit under test. Low Z is used when there is a suspicion of a "ghost" voltage. Ghost voltages are present when non-powered wires are close to wires powered by AC voltage. 5 RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS · Insert the black test probe [15] into the Negative/COM probe connector [13] and the red test probe [15] into the positive probe connector [14]. · Turn the rotary function selector [06] to the position "Ohm Diode Continuity Cap". · Press the MODE button [09] until the Ohm-symbol is shown in the Unit List [I]. · Connect the test probes [15] to the circuit or component under test. · The Measured Value [J] will show the measured resistance in the circuit or component under test. CONTINUITY MEASURES · Insert the black test probe [15] into the Negative/COM probe connector [13] and the red test probe [15] into the positive probe connector [14]. · Turn the rotary function selector [06] to the position "Ohm Diode Continuity Cap". · Press the MODE button [09] until the Continuity-symbol [F] is shown. · Connect the test probes [15] to the circuit or component under test. · If the measured resistance is at less than 50 Ohm, a tone will sound. CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENTS · Insert the black test probe [15] into the Negative/COM probe connector [13] and the red test probe [15] into the positive probe connector [14]. · Turn the rotary function selector [06] to the position "Ohm Diode Continuity Cap". · Press the MODE button [09] until the Capacity-unit (Micro Farad or Nano Farad) is shown in the Unit List [I]. · Connect the test probes [15] to the component under test. · The Measured Value [J] will show the measured capacitance in the component under test. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value. (When measuring very large values of capacitance, it can take several minutes before the final reading stabilizes.) 6 DIODE MEASUREMENTS · Insert the black test probe [15] into the Negative/COM probe connector [13] and the red test probe [15] into the positive probe connector [14]. · Turn the rotary function selector [06] to the position "Ohm Diode Continuity Cap". · Press the MODE button [09] until the Diode-symbol is shown in the Unit List [I]. · Connect the test probes [15] to the diode or semiconductor junction under test. Read the Measured Value [J]. · Reverse the test lead polarity by reversing the red and black test probes [15]. Read the Measured Value [J]. · The diode or junction can be evaluated based on your readings of the Measured Value [J]: > If one reading displays a value [typically 0.400V to 0.900V) and the other reading displays "OL'.', the diode or junction is good. > If both readings display "OL", the diode or junction is open. > If both readings are very small or "0", the diode or junction is shorted. RED PROBE BLACK PROBE BLACK PROBE Forward Test RED PROBE Forward Test NON-CONTACT AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS (NCV) IMPORANT Test the NCV detector first on a known live circuit before use. · Hold the NCV Test Points [01] very close to the voltage source. · If voltage is present, the Non-Contact Voltage Indicator [03] will light. NOTE Do not touch the top of the meter when using this function. 7 EXTRA BUTTONS MODE & LCD BACKLIGHT BUTTON [09] · Press MODE / LCD Backlight Button [09] to select the unit you need to measure. You will select between OHM, Diode, Continuity, Capacity, Low Z or AC/DC Voltage. · Hold the MODE / LCD Backlight Button [09] for over 1 second to turn the Selector light [05] on. · Hold the MODE and LCD Backlight Button [09] again for over 1 second to turn the Selector light [05] off. MAX/MIN BUTTON [10] · Press MAX/MIN Button [10] to activate the registration of maximum and minimum values during measurement. The MAX/MIN modus cannot be activated for a continuity test, diode test, capacitance test or during Non-Contact AC Voltage measurements. · Press the MAX/MIN Button [10] or turn the rota- ry function selector [06] to switch off the MAX/ MIN Modus. DATA HOLD & FLASHLIGHT BUTTON [08] · In case you are measuring in a position where you have no direct view on the LCD Display [04], press the Data Hold / Flashlight button [08]. The HOLD symbol [L] lights up. The device will freeze the measured value on the LCD display [04] and stop measuring continuously. · After reading the measured value, press the Data Hold / Flashlight button [08] again. The device will restart measuring continuously and shows the actual measured voltage on the display. · Hold the Data Hold / Flashlight button [08] for over 1 second to turn the flashlight [11] on. · Hold the Data Hold & Flashlight button [08] again for over 1 second to turn the flashlight [11] off. 8 AUTOMATIC POWER OFF In order to save battery life, this device will automatically switch off after approximately 15 minutes. · To switch the meter on again, turn the rotary function selector [06] to the OFF position · Then, turn the rotary function selector [06] to the desired function position. · Hold the Data Hold & Flashlight button [08] to switch the device on and cancel the auto power off function.
