1. Introduction:
Thank you very much for selecting our multimeter. We are the leading
manufacturer of Electrical and Electronics measuring instruments. These
multimeters are manufactured as per IS 13875 and DIN 43751.
2. Safety features and safety precautions
You have chosen a multimeter which provides you a very high degree of
safety. This meter is manufactured and tested in compliance with the safety
standard IEC 61010-1:2001/ DIN EN61010 -1:2001 and IEC61557.
In case of incorrect use or careless handling, the safety of both user and
multimeter is not assured.
For proper use and safe handling, it is absolutely necessary to read and
understand the operating instructions before using the meter.
For your safety and for protection of the multimeter, this meter is fitted with an
Automatic terminal Blocking System (ABS).
It is coupled with the function selector switch which blocks the Terminal
sockets not necessary for measurement.
Please note the following safety precautions:
l The multimeter must be operated only by persons who understand the
danger of shock hazards and are aware of the necessary safety
precautions. Shock hazards exist wherever voltages of more than 30V
(TRMS) are present.
l Do not work alone in shock hazardous environment while carrying out
measurement.
l The maximum permissible voltage between terminal Socket (7) and
ground is 1000 V.
l Take into account that unexpected voltages can occur on device under
test (e.g. defective instrument). For example, capacitors may be
charged to a dangerously high voltage.
l Verify that the test leads are in good condition, e.g.no cracked insulation,
no open circuits in the leads or connectors.
l This multimeter must not be used for measurements on circuits with
corona discharge (high voltage).
l Be particularly careful when measuring on HF circuits. Dangerous
composite voltages may exist there.
l Measurements under moist environmental conditions are not Permitted.
l Do not overload the measuring ranges beyond their allowable
capacities. Limit values are given in specifications Refer Chapter 17.
l All current measuring ranges, are protected with fuse. The maximum
permissible voltage of the measuring circuit (=nominal voltage of the
fuse) is1000 VAC/DC in “mA” ranges.

Note:
Electric discharges and high-frequency influence may cause incorrect
information to be displayed and block the measuring process. Reset the meter
by switching it OFF and ON again otherwise, check the battery connections.
Repair, replacement of parts:
When opening the meter, live parts may be exposed. Therefore, the meter
must be disconnected from the measuring circuit prior to opening its case for
repair or replacement of parts. If repair cannot be avoided unless the meter is
opened and live, this work must only be performed by a qualified person who
understands the danger involved.
When it is realised that the safe operation is no longer possible, take the meter
out of service and secure it against accidental use.
Safe operation may not be possible,
l when the meter shows obvious signs of damage,
l when the meter no longer functions correctly,
l after prolonged storage under adverse conditions,
l due to severe stress during transportation.
3. Switching the multimeter "ON”
Battery
We have already fitted your meter with a 1.5V x 6 (AAA size)batteries
according to IEC 6 LR 03. It is ready for operation.
for the first time or after storage, refer to Section "18.1 Maintenance-Battery".
Before you use the meter
Switching the meter "ON”
Press the "ON/OFF" pushbutton (2).
Switch-"ON" is acknowledged by a sound signal. As long as you keep
the pushbutton pressed, all segments of the liquid crystal display (LCD)
will appear. The LCD is shown on page before 1.
After the pushbutton is released, the meter is ready for operation.
l
l For safe transient voltage measurements in power systems upto
1000V, we recommend the KS30 measuring adapter, which is
available as an accessory. Its internal resistance limits the
measuring current in the case of over voltage, in correct operation
and safely suppresses sparking from spark gap. Also refer to
Section “8.1 Voltage measurement” on electrical systems up to
1000V with KS30 measuring adapter.

19. Servicing
When you need service, please contact :
Replacing the battery
Ÿ Place the multimeter on its face, loosen the two screws on the rear and
remove the lower part of the case, lifting it from the bottom. The lower and the
upper part of the case are fixed together at the top on the front by means of
wedges.
Ÿ Remove all six batteries from the battery holder.
Ÿ Place six new batteries into battery holder with correct polarities.
Ÿ Replace the lower part of the case. Start at the top on the front and take care
that the wedges are properly engaged at this point.
Ÿ Tighten the lower part with the two screws.
Ÿ Please destroy the batteries in an environment friendly way.
18.2 Fuses
A blown fuse is signalled on the LCD display the instant a measured quantity
having a voltage of more than 4 V is applied to the corresponding connection
sockets.
Then, the digital display (9) shows "FUSE"
The 1.6 A protects all other current measuring ranges. All other measuring
ranges continue to function.
When a fuse blows, first eliminate the cause of the overload using the multimeter
again !
Fuse replacement
Ÿ Open the multimeter same as for battery replacement
Ÿ Remove the blown fuse, e.g. with the aid of a probe, and replace it with a
new one.
Ø Permissible types for current measuring ranges up to 300 mA:
FF (UR) 1.6 A / 1000 V AC/DC; (10 KA); 6.3 mm x 32 mm
Caution :
Absolutely verify that only the specified fuse is installed!
If a fuse of other cut-out capacity, other nominal current or other switching capacity
is used, a dangerous situation exists, and there is danger of damaging protective
diodes, resistors or other components.
The shorting of the fuse holder is not permissible.
18.3 Case
Special maintenance of the case is not required. Take care that the surface
between the connection sockets is clean. For cleaning take a moist cloth.
Avoid scrabbing.
