All material in this manual applies to the DM-330SRS
unless otherwise indicated.
This meter has been designed and tested according to
EN 61010-1, Safety Requirements for Electronic
Measuring Apparaturs.
This manual contains information and warnings which
must be followed to ensure safe operation and retain the
meter in safe operation and retain the meter in safe
condition.
HOLSTER (Option)
The meter comes with a snap-on holster that absorbs
shocks and protects the meter from rough handling.
You can also hang the meter on your belt for easy viewing
while probing.
The test leads may be snapped into the holster that allows
you to hold both the meter and probe tip with one hand.
INTRODUCTION
WARNING
READ "MELTIMETER SAFETY" BEFORE USING THE
METER.
Your EAD Digital Multimeter (also referred to as the meter )
is a handheld instrument that is designed for use in the field,
laboratory and at home.
The meter combines the precision of a digital meter with the
speed and versatility of a high resolution.
The meter is powered by a 1.5Vx2 battery and has a rugged
case sealed against dirt, dust and moisture.
A snap-on holster protects the meter from rough handling.
After unpacking the meter, if you notice that the meter is
damaged or something is missing, contact the place of
purchase immediately. Save the shipping container and
packing material in case you have to reship the meter.
The higher input voltage than the maximum one can cause
the roaring noise by the spark gap included for protection.

MULTIMETER SAFETY
Before using the meter, read the following safety
information carefully. In the manual the word
"WARNING" is used for conditions and actions that
pose hazards to the user, the word "CAUTION" is
used for conditions and actions that may damage
your meter.
The symbols shown in Figure 1 are used
internationally to denote the electrical functions
and conditions indicated.

SAFETY DESIGNED
This meter has the feature that warns the dangerous
mismatching between rotary switch's mode selection
position and jack terminal used, Buzzer sound if rotary
switch is not set to Amp mode (10A DC/AC) during
10A terminal which a detector is built in, pluged in by
test lead. To avoid accidentally applying voltage to
10A terminal, verify that red test lead is connected
to V input terminal before making voltage
measurement. This restriction ensures protection
against burns in the event that voltage is accidentally
applied between 10A and COM terminals.
v/ terminal is colored in red, COM terminal in black
and 10A terminal in Red to be recognized with easy
(refer to Fig.2).
Avoid working alone.
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation
or exposed.
Select the proper function and range for your
measurement.

FEATURES
Disconnect the live test lead (Red) before
disconnecting the common test lead (Black).
Follow all safety procedures for equipment being
tested. Disconnect the input power and discharge
all high voltage capacitors through a protective
impedance before testing in the and functions.
When making a current measurement, turn the
power off before connection the meter in the circuit.
Check the meter fused before measuring current
transformer secondary or motor winding current.
An open fuse may allow high voltage build-up, which
is potentially hazardous.
To take a measurement, use the test lead probes to
make the proper contacts. Remember, insert the meter
in the circuit in parallel for voltage and in series for
current measurements.

REL(relative reading) (DM-331)
Press REL to enter the relative mode, zero the display,
and store the displayed reading as a reference value.
The relative mode annunciator "REL" is displayed.
Press and hold down REL for 2 seconds to exit in the
relative mode, the value shown on the LCD is always the
difference between the stored reference value and the
present reading. for example, if the reference value is
15.00V and the present reading is 14.10V, the display will
indicate -0.90V. If the new reading is the same as the
reference value, the display will be zero.
(DM-333)
Press push button switch to measure or in the
mode.
* Auto Power off
The meter will automatically shut itself off after
approximately 30min(DM-331, 332, 334) and 10min
(DM-333) after power on.
The meter can be turned back on by pushing Hold key
switch (DM-331, 332, 334)and any key (DM-333).

HOW TO USE THE METER
DIGITAL AND ANALOG DISPLAY
1) DIGITAL DISPLAY
Digital reading are displayed on a 4000 count or 3200
count display with polarity indication and automatic point
placement. When the meter is turned on, all display
segments and annunciators appear briefly during a

2) ANALOG DISPLAY
The analog display provides an analog representation of
readings and updates 20 times per seconds but it doesn't
operate at the capacitance function and the frequency
count mode.
3) AUTO AUTO-RANGE (DM-333, 334)
The meter is the auto-range mode and will automatically
select range with the best resolution.
The meter powers on in auto-range mode.
4) NEGATIVE POLARITY
Automatically indicates negative inputs.
When REL is enabled, indicates negative requests of math
calculations.
5) BEEPER
continuity test is enabled.
6) REL RELATIVE MODE(DM-331)
The value displayed is the difference between the present
measurement and the previously stored reading.
Probe resistance compensation for resistance
measurements can be achieved by using this mode.
7) MIN/MAX MODE
MIN/MAX value in MIN/MAX recording mode.
The value displayed is the maximum or minimum reading
taken since the minimum and maximum recording mode
was entered.

When measuring current, the meter's internal shunt resistors
develop a voltage across the meter's terminals called burden
voltage . This voltage drop is very low in your meter, but it
may affect precision circuits or measurements.

CAUTION
Turn off power on the test circuit and discharge all

measurements, If an external voltage is present across
a component, it will be impossible to take an accurate
measurement of the resistance of that component.
Figure 5-3. Measuring Resistance
Due to the sensitive nature of 400 Ohm(DM-331, DM-332, DM-334), 320 Ohm(DM-333) range, a residual resistance
is present. This resistance will display itself, if the probes are shorted. This residual resistance is due to the lead, track
and switch resistance. To obtain measurement within the stated accuracy when using the 400 Ohm(DM-331, DM-332,
DM-334), 320 Ohm(DM-333) range subtract from your value the residual resistance reading.

But the minimum input signal required to trigger the
frequency counter varies, depending on the range and
frequency.
If the input signal is below the trigger level, frequency
measurements will not be taken.
If your readings are unstable, the input signal may be near
the trigger level for that range.
