SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to insure maximum
personal safety during the operation at this meter:
1. Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect that the meter is not operating properly.
2. This meter is not recommended for high voltage industrial use; for example, not for measurements of 440 VAC or 600 VAC industrial power mains. The unit is intended for use with low energy circuits to 1000VDC or 750VAC or high energy circuit to 250 VAC or DC. Accidental misuse by connection across a high voltage, high energy power source when the meter is set up for mA measurement may be very hazardous.
3. Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.
4. Use caution when working above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
5. When Using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
6. Measuring voltage which exceeds the limits of the multimeter may damage the meter and expose the operator to a shock hazard. Always recognize the meter voltage limits as stated on the front of the meter.
7. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided the equipment may be impaired.

Voltage Measurements
1. Connect the red test lead to the "VW" jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
2. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired voltage function.
3. Connect the test leads to the device or circuit being measured.
4. For dc, a (-) sign is displayed for negative polarity; positive polarity is implied.
Current Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired current range and press the A toggle button to select AC or DC.
2. For current measurements less than 400mA, connect the red test lead to the mA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
3. For current measurements of 400mA or greater, connect the red test lead to the 10A jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
4. Remove power from the circuit under test and open the normal circuit path where the measurement is to be taken. Connect the meter in series with the circuit.
Resistance and Continuity Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the resistance function.
2. Remove power from the equipment under test.
3. Connect the red test lead to the "VW" jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
4. Touch the probes to the test points. In ohms, the value indicated in the display is the measured value of resistance.
5. The beeper sounds continuously, if the resistance is less than 50W±30W.
WARNING
The accuracy of the functions might be slightly affected, when exposed to a radiated electromagnetic field environment, eg, radio, telephone or similar.

Diode Tests
1. Connect the red test lead to the "VW" jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
2. Set the Function/Range switch to the "
" position.
3. Turn off power to the circuit under test.
4. Touch probes to the diode. A forward-voltage drop is about 0.6V (typical for a silicon diode).
5. Reverse probes. If the diode is good, 1 OL is displayed. If the diode is shorted, ".000" or another number is displayed.
6. If the diode is open, 1 OL is displayed, in both directions.
7. If the junction is measured in a circuit and a low reading is obtained with both lead connections, the junction may be shunted by a resistance of less than 1kW. In this case the diode must be disconnected from the circuit for accurate testing.
Capacitance Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired " F " range.
2. Never apply an external voltage to the Cx sockets. Damage to the meter may result.
3. Insert the capacitor leads directly into the Cx socket.
4. Read the capacitance directly from the display.
Frequency Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired Hz range.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "VW " jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
3. Connect the test leads to the point of measurement and read the frequency from the display.
11
Inductance Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired "H" (inductance) range.
2. Never apply an external voltage to the Lx sockets. Damage to the meter may result.
3. Insert the inductor leads directly into the Lx socket.
4. Read the inductance directly from the display.
Logic Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the Logic position.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "VW" jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
3. Connect the red test lead to the test point and the black lead to the common buss of the logic circuit.
4. A " "on the display indicates TTL logic high and a " " indicates a TTL logic low. Both indicators are on when the point of measurement is toggling high and low.
Temperature Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the " °F/°C " position.
2. Push the " °F/°C " key, select the desired °F/°C scale.
3.Connect a type k thermocouple to the jack on the instrument. Place the probe or thermocouple tip on or in the material to be measured and take the temperature reading directly from the display.
WARNING
Remove test leads being measured

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Remove test leads before changing battery or fuse
or performing any servicing.
Battery Replacement
Power is supplied by a 9 volt "transistor" battery. (NEDA 1604, IEC 6F22). The " " appears on the LCD display when replacement is needed. To replace the battery, remove the two screws from the back of the meter and lift off the battery case. Remove the battery from battery contacts.
Fuse Replacement
If no current measurements are possible, check for a blown overload protec­tion fuse. There are two fuses; F1 for the "mA" jack and F2 for the "10A" jack. For access to fuses, remove the two screws from the back of the meter and lift off the battery case. Replace F1 only with the original type 0.5A/250V, fast acting fuse. Replace F2 only with the original type 10A/600V, fast acting ceramic fuse.
Cleaning
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent, do not use abrasives or solvents.
13
Additional Safety Information
Do Not Operate the meter with the two test leads and the thermocouple probe connected at the same time. Unplug the test leads from the meter before making thermocouple temperature measurement. Unplug the ther­mocouple probe from the meter before making other types of measure­ments.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do Not Operate the meter in flammable or explosive environments.
Protect the meter from moisture.
Operate the meter with the two test leads provided.
Do Not Operate the meter when the battery door is open.
