Smart Pen Multi-Purpose Meter
This document provides operating instructions for the Smart Pen Multi-Purpose Meter.
Device Description
The image shows a pen-shaped digital multimeter designed for various measurements. It features a display screen, a sharp probe at the tip for testing, and several control buttons labeled "HOLD/*", "SELECT", "Hz", and a power symbol (represented by a circle with a vertical line). The device is compact and portable.
1. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
⚠️ Attention! Dangerous voltage levels may be present at the input terminals and not displayed.
1.1. MEASUREMENT OF DC AND AC VOLTAGE (DCV & ACV)
- Select the "AUTO" mode. Voltage and resistance are recognized automatically.
- Connect the black test lead to the "COM" terminal.
- Connect the test probe to the point of measurement and read the value on the display. The polarity of the probe will be displayed with a sign along with the voltage.
Note: Never attempt to measure voltages above 600V! Although the indicator can show this voltage level, there is a risk that the internal circuitry may be damaged.
1.2. MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE AND CIRCUIT CONTINUITY TEST
⚠️ Attention! To avoid electric shock or damage to the device during resistance or continuity measurements, ensure that the voltage in the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are discharged.
- Connect the black test lead to the "COM" terminal.
- Select the "AUTO" mode. Voltage and resistance are recognized automatically.
- Touch the test probe to the resistance to be measured and read the value on the display.
- If the resistance is determined to be less than 500Ω, the circuit continuity test will automatically start, and a beep will sound.
Note:
- a) Polarity of the built-in test probe is "+".
- b) If the tester input is not connected to the circuit, i.e., the circuit is "open", the display will show "1" as an indication of out-of-range.
1.3. MEASUREMENT OF CAPACITANCE
⚠️ Attention! To avoid damaging the device, disconnect the circuit power and discharge high-voltage capacitors before performing measurements.
- Press the "SELECT" button to choose the capacitance measurement mode.
- Connect the test probe to both terminals of the capacitor and read the value on the display.
Note: The measured capacitor must be discharged before testing. Never apply voltage to the input terminals '+', otherwise it may cause serious damage.
1.4. MEASUREMENT OF FREQUENCY
- Press the "Hz" button to select the frequency measurement mode.
- Connect the black test lead to the "COM" terminal (Note: polarity of the built-in test probe is "+").
- Connect the test probe to the measurement point and read the frequency value on the display.
1.5. NON-CONTACT INDUCTIVE VOLTAGE TEST (NCV)
- Press "SELECT" to choose the "NCV" mode.
- Place the top of the multimeter close to an object with AC voltage.
- When the sensor in the upper part of the multimeter detects an alternating electric field, a sound signal will be emitted, and the corresponding voltage intensity value will be displayed.
Note: This function is used only to detect the presence of an alternating electric field; it is impossible to determine if the measured circuit is safe. Be cautious of electric shock and take appropriate safety measures.
2. BUTTON FUNCTIONS
- "SELECT": Select modes "Capacitance" (capacitance) or "NCV" (non-contact voltage test) or "AUTO" (automatic).
- "Hz": Select modes "Frequency" (frequency) or "AUTO" (automatic).
- "HOLD/*": Hold value and backlight. Short press: hold and release value. Long press: turn backlight on/off.
3. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
- Battery replacement should be performed when the test leads are disconnected (not connected to the circuit, not under voltage).
- Open the battery compartment on the back of the device, replace the used batteries with new ones, and close the battery compartment.
