R/C SMD Tweezers Multimeter

Model RC200

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech RC200 RC Tweezers Multimeter This meter, using the
tweezers adaptor, measures SMD capacitors, resistors, diodes and continuity test. With the test lead
adaptor, it measures AC/DC Voltage. Proper use and care of this meter will provide many years of
reliable service.

This meter has been designed for safe use, but must be operated with caution. The rules listed
below must be carefully followed for safe operation.

1. NEVER measure voltage with the Tweezer adaptor installed.

2. NEVER apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified maximum:

Function Maximum Input

V DC or V AC 600V DC/AC

3. USE EXTREME CAUTION when working with voltages greater than 25VAC or 35VDC. These
voltages are considered a shock hazard.

4. DO NOT measure voltage if the voltage on the "COM" input jack exceeds 600V above earth
ground.

5. NEVER connect the meter leads across a voltage source while the function switch is in the
capacitance, resistance, or diode mode. Doing so can damage the meter.

6. ALWAYS discharge filter capacitors in power supplies and disconnect the power when making
capacitance, resistance, continuity or diode tests.

7. ALWAYS turn off the power and disconnect the test leads from the circuit before opening the
cover to replace the batteries.

8. NEVER operate the meter unless the battery cover is in place and fastened securely.

9. NEVER operate the meter if any part is damaged.

10. ALWAYS turn the meter off when not in use.
