We define measurement tolerances in terms of f.s. (full scale), rdg. (reading) and dgt. (digit) values, with the following meanings:
f.s. (maximum display value or scale length)
The maximum displayable value or the full length of the scale. This is usually the maximum value of the currently selected range.
rdg. (reading or displayed value)
The value currently being measured and indicated on the measuring product.
dgt. (resolution)
The smallest displayable unit on a digital measuring product, i.e., the input value that causes the digital display to show a "1".

Measurement categories (Overvoltage categories)
This product conforms to the safety requirements for CAT II (1000V), CATIII (600V) measurement products. To ensure safe operation of measurement product, IEC 61010 establishes safety standards for various electrical environments, categorized as CAT I to CAT IV, and called measurement categories. These are defined as follows. CAT I : Secondary electrical circuits connected to
an AC electrical outlet through a transformer or similar device.
CAT II : Primary electrical circuits in equipment
connected to an AC electrical outlet by a power cord (portable tools, household appliances, etc.)
CAT III : Primary electrical circuits of heavy
equipment (fixed installations) connected directly to the distribution panel, and feeders from the distribution panel to outlets.
CAT IV : The circuit from the service drop to the
service entrance, and to the power meter and primary overcurrent protection device (distribution panel).
Page 11

_______________________________________________
Safety Notes
_______________________________________________
Higher-numbered categories correspond to electrical environments with greater momentary energy. So a measurement device designed for CAT III environments can endure greater momentary energy thanadevicedesignedforCATII. Using a measurement product in an environment designated with a higher-numbered category than that for which the product is rated could result in a severe accident, and must be carefully avoided. Never use a CAT I measuring product in CAT II, III, or IV environments. The measurement categories comply with the Overvoltage Categories of the IEC60664 Standards.

NOTE
4.2 Refresh Hold
The reading is updated the value automatically and the beeper sounds when the measurement value changes 30 counts at least. The refresh hold mode is effective until the power supply is turned off.
(1) To active the refresh hold mode, turn on the
power supply while pressing the
HOLD

(2) Release the button after all the LCD segments
are lit. Press any button for the measurement modes
(3) Press
HOLD
button to select ON/OFF of the refresh hold. While the refresh hold mode is effective ,
HOLD
is displayed.
When the reading value is unstable, the 3805 may not update the display. In the voltage, current, and capacitance function, the reading is not updated when the measurement value is less than 50 counts. In the resistance and diode function, the reading is not updated when the reading is "OL" or the test leads are open. The hold mode and the refresh hold mode use the same display, so please pay attention when measuring to make sure you are in the correct mode.

4.3 Dynamic Recording
The dynamic recording mode can be used to catch intermittent and turn on or turn off surges, verify performance, measure while you are away, or take readings while you are operating the equipment under test and can not watch the meter. The average reading is useful for smoothing out unstable or changing inputs, estimating the percent of time a circuit is operational, or verifying circuit performance.
The operational procedures are described below: (1) Press
REC
button for more than 1 second to enter the dynamic recording. The present value is stored to memories of maximum, minimum and average, and the annunciator turns on.
(2) Press
REC
button for more than 1 second to toggle recording mode on or off.
(3) Press
REC
button momentarily to cycle through maximum, minimum, maximum - minimum, average and present readings. The MAX, MIN, MAX-MIN, AVG or annunciator will turn on respectively to indicate what value is being displayed.

NOTE
(4) The beeper sounds when a new maximum or

(5) If an overload is recorded the averaging function
is stopped. An average value becomes "OL"(overload).
In dynamic recording, the auto power save feature is disabled, after disabled and the "APS" turns off. Select dynamic recording in auto range, it will record the values of MAX, MIN or AVG for different ranges. The record speed of dynamic recording is about 100 ms (0.1 s). The average value is the true average of all measured values taken since the recording mode was entered. If the range is changed in the manual range mode or the function is changed, the dynamic recording function is canceled.

4.4 Harmonic Ratio Measurement
The harmonic ratio measurement function shows how much the wave is distorted. The distortion rate of the wave is shown in accordance with the following formula.
The harmonic ratio = (the conversion value from the
mean value - the true RMS value) X 100/the true RMS value.
In order to convert from the mean value to the RMS value, the mean value is multiplied by 1.11. Although the harmonic ratio becomes 0% when a sine wave is measured, the harmonic ratio becomes
11.1% in the case of a square wave.
(1) Set the rotary switch to "Hz
/ V ".
(2) Push and hold
SHIFT
button for more than 1
second to enter Harmonic Ratio mode.
(3) Connect the black test lead to "COM" terminal
and red test lead to "
" terminal.
(4) Touch the test leads to the test points and read
the display. The bar graph is used to indicate the value of AC voltage, however if you push
RANGE
button momentarily, the digits will indicate the value of AC voltage. The meter will return to indicate the value of Harmonic Ratio after 3 seconds automatically.

4.6 % of mA Measurement (4-20mA)
The 4-20 mA (0-20 mA) function converts 4 mA (0 mA) as 0% and 20 mA as 100%. It is used in instrumentation.
(1) Set the rotary switch to "Hz
/ mA ".
(2) Push and hold
SHIFT

to set % of mA test.
(3) Connect the black test lead to "COM" terminal
and red test lead to "µAmA" terminal.
(4) Touch the test leads to the test points and read

4.8.1 Timer Setting for Auto-power Save
Between the auto power save setting screen and the screen for selecting 4-20mA or 0-20mA measurement, the setting screen for the back light appears. Although this screen appears, the 3805 can not perform this function. Because the 3805 does not include a back light, please ignore this display.
When the meter is to be used for long periods of time, the operator might want to disable the auto power save. Once the auto power save function is disabled, the meter will stay on continuously. The meter will shut off by turning the rotary switch to the off position. In general, the auto power save function will turn the meter off if neither rotary switch nor push button is activated for existing setting. The LCD will indicate existing time setting, and the APS will light. You can set the timer from 0 to 99 minutes. Each step is 1 minute by pushing
HOLD
button. When you set the timer to zero, the auto power save will be disabled, the meter will stay on continuously. Press

WARNING
To avoid electric shock when replacing the battery and fuse, first disconnect the test leads from the object to be measured, then open the cover. After replacing the battery or fuse, replace the cover and screws before using the product. When replacing the battery, Be sure to insert them with the correct polarity. Otherwise, poor performance or damage from battery leakage could result. Replace batter y only with the specified type. To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not short circuit, disassemble or incinerate battery. Handle and dispose of battery in accordance with local regulations. Replace the fuse only with one of the specified characteristics and voltage and current ratings. Using a non-specified fuse or shorting the fuse holder may cause a life-threatening hazard.

Chapter 6 Maintenance and Service
_______________________________________________
Use the following procedures to replace the battery, or fuse.
(1) Using the rotary switch to turn the meter off,
and remove the test leads from terminals.
(2) Loosen 3 screws on bottom cover, pull up and
move the cover.
(3) Replace the defective battery.
The meter is powered by a 6F22 battery. Replace battery if the low battery sign (
) is displayed
and flashes.
(4) Remove the defective fuse by gently prying one
end of the fuse loose and sliding the fuse out of the fuse bracket.
Install a new fuse of the same size and rating. Make sure the new fuse is centered in the fuse holder. There are 2 types of fuses, one for the µA , mA terminal and one for the A terminal. Be sure to set the correct fuse.
(5) Reverse the procedure of opening cover to close
the bottom cover.
