INSTRUCTION MANUAL

POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK

● This instrument is for the use of low voltage circuit.

● Do not make measurements of power lines carrying more than AC 250V.

(In some cases, power lines may carry voltage spikes of several times of the normal
supply voltage).

● Do not make measurements, leaving battery cover removed.

● Before attempting to replace the batteries, first disconnect the test leads from any

energized circuit.

● Do not handle the instrument with wet hands.
It is very dangerous, when measuring voltage is high.

POSSIBLE DAMAGE OF INSTRUMENT

● When making resistance measurement, continuity test or diode test, do not apply
any voltage to the test probes. It will cause the defect.

● Confirm the position of rotary switch before measurement.

● Keep storage this instrument in cool and clean place.

● For cleaning of this instrument, do not apply chemicals such as thinner, benzine, etc.

MEASURING METHOD

1. DC VOLTAGE (DCV)

1) Set the position of rotary switch from OFF to DCV (… sign will be displayed).

2) According to the drawings,

red test lead contact to ○

＋

polarity

battery etc. and black one to○－.

3) Read the voltage value on the display. (Can measure up to 500V automatically).

2. AC VOLTAGE (ACV)

1) Set the rotary switch position to V and press once the select key to chose「～」.

2) According to the drawings, insert

the test leads to the outlet , etc. to
be measured. (In case of ACV measurement,

red or black test lead and polarity of ○＋ or

○－ are no concern).

3) Read the voltage value on the display.

(Can measure up to 500V automatically).

△！ WARNING

1. Do not apply the input signal more than max. rated input voltage (500V).

2. During measurement, do not change rotary switch position.

3. Do not hold and or touch the nearer position of test leads to the tip over collar
during measurement.

4. POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK

Confirm that there is no damage in the isolated wire of test leads before

connecting. In case of out of order, stop the operation and repair them.

5. POSSIBLE DAMAGE & FIRE HAZARD

Connect test leads firmly, the wrong connection may cause spark.

3. RESISTANCE (Ω)

1) Set the rotary switch position to Ω. ･))) ➔+ and chose Ω by select key.

2) According to the drawing, contact test leads

to the both sides of the resister to be measured.
(It does not matter about ○＋○－ polarity).

3) Read the resistance value on the display.

(Can measure up to 40MΩ automatically).

4. DIODE TEST ( ➔+ )

1) Set the rotary switch position toΩ. ･))) ➔+ and chose ➔+ by select switch.

contact the test leads as in the way of drawing. Forward Voltage Backward

Voltage

The measuring range of general diode is between ➔+

0.4 and 0.7V.

3) In case of the backward voltage, contact the test

leads according to the drawing. In this case, the
display becomes OL generally.

5. CONTINUITY (･))) )

1) Set the rotary switch position toΩ. ･))) ➔+ and chose ➔+ by select switch.
