SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observedtoensure maximum personal
safetyduring the operationatthismeter:
Use the meteronlyasspecified in this manualor the protection providedbythe
metermightbeimpaired.
Test the meteron a knownvoltage before usingit to determineifhazardous
voltage is present.
Do not use the meter if the meteror test leadslookdamaged, or if you suspect
that themeteris notoperating properly.
Neverground yourselfwhentaking electricalmeasurements. Do nottouch
exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures,etc., which might be at groundpotential.
Keepyourbody isolated from groundbyusing dry clothing, rubber shoes,rubber
mats,oranyapproved insulating material.
Turnoff power to the circuit undertestbefore cutting, unsoldering,orbreaking
the circuit.Small amountsofcurrent can be dangerous.
Use cautionwhen workingabove60Vdc or 30V ac rms. Suchvoltages posea
shockhazard.
When Usingtheprobes, keep your fingers behind the finger guardsonthe
probes.
Measuring voltagewhich exceeds the limitsofthemultimeter may damagethe
meterandexpose the operatorto a shock hazard. Alwaysrecognize the meter
voltage limits as statedonthe frontofthemeter.

OPERATION
Beforetaking any measurements, readtheSafety InformationSection.Always
examine the instrumentfordamage, contamination (excessive dirt, grease,etc.)
and defects. Examine the test leadsforcracked or frayed insulation. If any
abnormal conditionsexist do not attempt to make any measurements.

Voltage Measurements
1.Connect the red test lead to ”VΩ”jack andthe blacktestlead to the ”COM”
jack.
2.SettheFunction/Range switch to the desiredvoltage type (AC or DC) and
range. If magnitude of voltageis not known, setswitch to thehighest range
and reduceuntil a satisfactoryreading is obtained.
3.Connect the test leads to the deviceor circuitbeing measured.
4. For dc, a (-) sign is displayed for negativepolarity; positive polarity is implied.
CurrentMeasurements
1.Connect the red test leadtothe( mAor10A)jack and the black test leadto the
“COM”jack.
2.SettheFunction/Range switch to the DC or AC ranges.
3.Remove power from the circuitunder test and open the normal circuitpath
wherethe measurement is to be taken. Connect the meter in series with the
circuit.
4.Apply power and readthe valuefromthedisplay.
Resistance and Continuity Measurements
1.SettheFunction/Range switch to the desiredresistance rangeorcontinuity
position.
2.Remove power from the equipment under test.
3.Connect the red test lead to the “ VΩ” jackandtheblack test lead to
the ”COM” jack.
4.Touch the probes to the test points.In ohms,thevalue indicatedinthe display
is the measuredvalue of resistance. In continuity test,thebeeper sounds
continuously, if the resistanceislessthan 100Ω.
Note when using 2000MΩ Range
The 2000MΩrangehas a fixed10-count offsetin the reading. When the test
leadsareshorted togetherinthisrange, the meter will display010.This residual
reading must be subtracted fromthereading. For example,whenmeasuring
1100MΩon the 2000MΩrange, the displaywill read 1100,from which the 10
residual is subtractedto obtainthe actual resistance of 1100MΩ.
Diode Tests
1.Connect the red test lead to the “ VΩ” jackandtheblacktest leadto
the ”COM” jack.
2.SettheFunction/Range switch to the““ position.
3.Turn off powerto the circuitunder test.
4.Touch probes to the diode.A forward-voltagedrop is about 0.6V (typical for a
silicondiode).
5.Reverse probes.If the diodeis good, “OL”is displayed. If the diode is shorted,
“000”or another number is displayed.
6. If the diode is open, “OL” is displayed in bothdirections.
Capacitance Measurements
1.SettheFunction/Range switch to the desiredF (capacitance)range.
2.Never apply an externalvoltage to the Cx sockets.
Damagetothemeterrnay result.
3.Insert the capacitordirectly into the Cx sockets.
4.Read the capacitance directly from the display.
Transistor hFE Measurements
1.SettheFunction/Range switch to the desiredhFE range(PNP or NPN type
transistor).
2.Never applyanexternal voltagetothe hFE sockets.
Damageto themetermay result.
3.Plugthetransistor directly into the hFE sockets.The sockets are labeled E, B,
and C for emitter, base, and collector.
4.Read the transistorhFE directly from the display.
Frequency Measurements
1.SettheFunction/Range switch to the ”Hz” position.
2.Connect the red test lead to the “VΩ” jack and the black test lead to the ”COM”
jack.
3.Connect the test leads to the point of measurement and read the frequency
fromthe display.
Logic Measurements
1.SettheFunction/Range switch to the “LOGIC” position.
2.Connect the red test lead to “VΩ” jack and the black test leadto the ”COM”
jack.
3.Connect the red test lead to the test point and the black leadto the common
buss of the logic circuit.
4.A “▲” on the display indicates TTL logic high and a “▼”indicates a TTL logic
low. Both indicators areonwhenthe point of measurement is toggling high
and low.
MAINTENANCE
Removetest leads before changing battery or fuse or
performing any servicing.
WARNING
Battery Replacement
Poweris supplied by a 9 volt battery. (NEDA1604, IEC 6F22).The
