DANGER To avoid electrical shock: Never make measurement on a circuit in which voltage over 600V AC/DC exists.

Do not use with the Battery Cover removed. Keep fingers behind the guards and away from test lead tips during measurements.

AC/DC Voltage

The Electrical Tester automatically identifies AC or DC sources and indicates the type of voltage on the LCD screen using AC or DC .

1.Set the Slide Switch to position (Cat. No. 2213-20 only).

2.Connect the red test lead to the VΩterminal and the black test lead to the COM terminal.

3.Connect the test leads to the circuit under test.

4.If voltage is present, the measurement will be displayed on the screen. If measured voltage

is over AC/DC 35 V, the Indicator LED will be lit RED and the buzzer will sound with steady, intermittent beeps (B_B_B).

NOTE: When DC voltage is displayed, a reversed connection (red test lead to the negative (-) side

and black test leads to the positive (+) side of the circuit) is indicatedġ as a negative value.

CAUTION Readings may fluctuate or be influenced in noisy environment.

DANGER To reduce the risk of electric shock for Continuity or Resistance measurements, never use the Tester on an energized circuit. Make sure a capacitor is fully discharged before touching or attempting to make a measurement.

Do not use with the Battery Cover removed.

Continuity

If voltage is not present, the tester will automati-

cally switch to continuity test mode and provide
test results indicating whether
continuity is present or not.
1. Set the Slide Switch to
position (Cat. No. 2213-20
only).
2. Connect the red test lead
to the VΩ terminal and the
black test lead to the COM
terminal.
Short-circuit the tips of test
leads to make the indication
zero. A buzzer will sound.
3. Connect the test leads to
both end of the conductor
under test. If the resistance
under test is 20 kΩ or less,
the	Indicator LED will
be lit YELLOW and buzzer
will sound with a continuous
beep.

CAUTION After shorting the test leads, the displayed value may not be zero due to the resistance of test leads themselves.

Resistance (Cat. No. 2213-20 only)

1. Set the Slide Switch to position.

2. Connect the red test lead to the VΩ terminal and the black test lead to the COM terminal. Confirm “OL” is indicated on the display, and then short-circuit the tips of test leads to make the indication zero.
