WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture. To avoid electrical shock hazard, observe the proper safety precautions when
working with voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a
potential shock hazard to the user. Do not touch test lead tips or the circuit being tested
while power is applied to the circuit being measured. Keep your fingers behind the
finger guards of the test leads during measurement. Inspect test leads, connectors, and
probes for damaged insulation or exposed metal before using the instrument. If any
defects are found, replace them immediately. Do not measure any current that exceeds
the current rating of the protection fuse. Do not attempt a current measurement to any
circuit where the open circuit voltage is above the protection fuse voltage rating.
Suspected open circuit voltage should be checked with voltage functions. Never attempt
a voltage measurement with the test lead inserted into the A/mA or A input jack. Only
replace the blown fuse with the proper rating as specified in this manual.

Average sensing RMS calibrated
RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to describe the effective or equivalent DC

value of an AC signal. Most digital multimeters use average sensing RMS calibrated
technique to measure RMS values of AC signals. This technique is to obtain the
average value by rectifying and filtering the AC signal. The average value is then scaled
upward (calibrated) to read the RMS value of a sine wave. In measuring pure sinusoidal
waveform, this technique is fast, accurate and cost effective. In measuring non­sinusoidal waveforms, however, significant errors can be introduced because of
different scaling factors relating average to RMS values.

AC True RMS

AC True RMS, normally refers as True RMS, identifies a DMM function that is AC
coupled, and responds accurately only to the effective RMS AC component value
regardless of the waveforms. However, DC component plays an important role in the
distorted non-symmetrical waveforms, and will also be of interest sometimes.

DC+AC True RMS

DC+AC True RMS calculates both of the AC and DC components given by the
expression

when making measurements, and can responds
accurately to the total effective RMS value regardless of the waveform. Distorted
waveforms with the presence of DC components and harmonics may cause:

1) Overheated transformers, generators and motors to burn out faster than normal

2) Circuit breakers to trip prematurely

3) Fuses to blow

4) Neutrals to overheat due to the triplen harmonics present on the neutral

5) Bus bars and electrical panels to vibrate

AC-Bandwidth

AC-bandwidth of a DMM is the range of frequencies over which AC measurements can
be made within the specified accuracy. It is not the frequency measurement function,
but is the frequency response of the AC functions. A DMM cannot accurately measure
the AC value with frequency spectrums fall beyond the AC-bandwidth of the DMM.
Therefore, wide AC-bandwidth plays an important role in high performance DMMs. In
reality, complex waveforms, noise and distorted waveforms contain much higher
frequency spectrum than its fundamental.

Crest Factor

5

Crest Factor is the ratio of the Crest (instantaneous peak) value to the True RMS
value, and is commonly used to define the dynamic range of a True RMS DMM. A pure
sinusoidal waveform has a Crest Factor of 1.4. A badly distorted sinusoidal waveform
normally has a much higher Crest Factor.

4) OPERATION

CAUTION

Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on a
known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.

Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should
be discharged through an appropriate resistance load.

Normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between

0.400V to 0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A zero
reading indicates a shorted diode (defective). An OL indicates an open diode
(defective). Reverse the test leads connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The
digital display shows OL if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is
resistive or shorted (defective).

5) MAINTENANCE

WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads
from the input jacks and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate
with open case. Install only the same type of fuse or equivalent

Calibration

Accuracy is specified for a period of one year after calibration. Periodic calibration at
intervals of one year is recommended to maintain meter accuracy.

If self-diagnostic message “rE-O” is being displayed while powering on, the meter is re­organizing internal parameters. Do not switch off the meter, and it will be back to normal
measurement shortly. However, if self-diagnostic message “C_Er” is being displayed
while powering on, some meter ranges might be largely out of specifications. To avoid
mis-leading measurements, stop using the meter and send it for re-calibration. Refer to
the LIMITED WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.

Cleaning and Storage

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent; do not use abrasives
or solvents. If the meter is not to be used for periods of longer than 60 days, remove the
battery and store it separately

Trouble Shooting

If the instrument fails to operate, check battery, fuses, leads, etc., and replace as
necessary. Double check operating procedure as described in this user’s manual

If the instrument voltage-resistance input terminal has subjected to high voltage
transient (caused by lightning or switching surge to the system) by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation, the series fusible resistors will be blown off (become high
impedance) like fuses to protect the user and the instrument. Most measuring functions
through this terminal will then be open circuit. The series fusible resistors and the spark­gaps (or varistors) should then be replaced by qualified technician. Refer to the
LIMITED WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.
