IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain for future
reference.
• Check the test leads, probes and case insulation before using. If you nd any
breakage or abnormality, or you consider the device is broken, stop using the
device immediately.
• When using the test probes, keep your ngers behind the nger protection ring.
• Do not use the meter with the back cover open.
• Select the appropriate test range for measurements.
• Ensure all inputs are less than the range selected otherwise it may cause electrical
shock or meter damage.
• Do not change the range selector position during measurements.
• Do not apply a voltage over 250V between COM terminal and ground.
• Take caution when working voltages are above 60V DC or 30V AC rms.
• Do not connect the meter to voltage signals when the range selector is on current,
resistance, diode or continuity range.
• When measuring current, each single measurement should be shorter than 10
seconds. For current values over 5A, the wait period between each measurement
must be longer than 15 minutes.
• When a measurement has been completed, disconnect the testing probes from
the circuit under test.
• Replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator appears on the display.
• Remove dead batteries from the meter or if it is not going to be used for a long
time.
• Never mix old and new batteries together, or different types of batteries.
• Never dispose of batteries in a re, or attempt to recharge ordinary batteries.
• Before replacing the battery, turn off the meter and disconnect all the test probes.
• To prolong battery life turn off the meter after use.

To measure AC Voltage, perform the following steps:
• Insert the red test probe into the VΩmA terminal and the black test probe into the
COM terminal.
• Turn the range selector to V
• Connect the test probes to the circuit being measured. The measured value will be
shown on LCD, which is the effective value of sine wave (mean value response).
Notes:
• DCV and ACV measurement with 72-7765A is auto range.
• If the voltage to be measured is unknown, use the maximum measuring range
(250V) and reduce the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is obtained.
(Do not adjust when connected to the circuit).
• If LCD shows “OL”, this indicates the measured value is higher than the selected
range. Select a higher range in order to obtain a measured value.
• In each range, the meter has an input impedance of about 10MΩ. This loading
effect can cause measurement errors in high impedance circuits.
• If the circuit impedance is less than or equal to 10kΩ, the error is negligible (0.1%
or less).
Current measurement (See Figure 3 & 4)
WARNING
• Never attempt a current measurement where the voltage between either terminal
and ground is greater than 60V.
DC current measurement
• Model 72-7765A testing range: 400μA, 4000μA, 40mA, 400mA, 4A and 10A
• Model 72-7770A/72-10420A testing range: 2000μA, 20mA, 200mA and 10A
To measure DC current, perform the following steps:
• Turn off the power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors of the circuit to be
measured.
• Insert the red test probe into the VΩmA or 10A terminal and the black test probe
into the COM terminal.
• Turn the range selector to
• Connect the red test probe to the positive electrode and the black test probe to the
negative electrode of the circuit in series.
• Turn on the circuit power. The measured value shows on the display.

AC current measurement (Model 72-7765A only)
• The testing ranges are: 400μA, 4000μA, 40mA, 400mA, 4A and 10A
• To measure AC current, perform the following steps:
• Turn off the power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors of the circuit to be
measured.
• Insert the red test probe into the VΩmA or 10A terminal and the black test probe
into the COM terminal.
• Turn the range selector to μA/mA/A range.
• Press the SELECT button for switching DC measurement to AC measurement.
• Connect the red test probe to the positive electrode and the black test probe to the
negative electrode of the circuit in series.
• Turn on the circuit power. The measured value shows on the display.
Notes:
• If the current to be measured is unknown, use the maximum measurement range
(10A) and reduce the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is obtained.
(Do not adjust when connected to the circuit).
• When current measurement has been completed, disconnect the testing probes
from the circuit under test.
Resistance measurement (See Figure 5)
WARNING: To avoid damages to the meter or to the devices under test, disconnect
circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance.
Model 72-7765A testing ranges: 400Ω, 4kΩ, 40kΩ, 400kΩ, 4MΩ and 40MΩ
Model 72-10420A testing ranges: 200Ω, 2000Ω, 20kΩ, 200kΩ and 20MΩ
Model 72-7770A testing ranges: 200Ω, 2000Ω, 20kΩ, 200kΩ, 20MΩand 200MΩ
To measure resistance, perform the following steps:
• Insert the red test probe into the VΩmA terminal and
the black test probe into the COM terminal.
• Turn the range selector to Ω range(s).
• Connect the test probes to the circuit in parallel.
• Read the testing result on the display.
Notes:
• The test probes can add 0.1Ω to 0.3Ω of error to
resistance measurement. To obtain precise reading
in low-resistance measurement, short-circuit the test
probes beforehand and record the reading obtained.
Subtract this value from the measured value to obtain the resistance of the circuit
under test.
• For high resistance measurement (>1MΩ), it normally takes several seconds to
obtain a stable reading.

Diode and continuity measurement (See Figure 6&7)
Diode measurement
Perform diode test to check diodes, transistors, and other semiconductor devices.
The meter can measure the voltage drop of PN joint of diode and other semiconductors in
this range. For a silicon semiconductor with normal structure, the reading of the forward
voltage drop should be within 0.5~0.8V.
To test diode, perform the following steps:
• Insert the red test probe into the VΩmA terminal and the black test probe into the
COM terminal.
• Turn the range selector to range.
• For forward voltage drop readings on any semiconductor components, connect
the red test probe to the anode and the black test probe to the cathode of the
components.
• The measured value will be shown on the display. This is the voltage drop across
the diode. If the display shows “OL”, it indicates the open circuit or reversed
connection.

Page 10
Continuity measurement
To test continuity, perform the following steps:
• Insert the red test probe into the VΩmA terminal and the black test probe into the
COM terminal.
• Turn the range selector to range.
• Connect the test probes to the circuit to be measured. The buzzer beeps if the
circuit resistance is less than 100Ω. If the display shows “OL”, this indicates the
open circuit.
Temperature measurement (Model 72-10420A only, see gure 8)
The temperature measurement range is -40°C - 1000°C.
To measure temperature, perform the following steps:
• Insert the output ports (anode and cathode) of the temperature probe respectively
into VΩmA°C /°F and COM terminals.
• Turn the range selector to °C / °F range.
• Place the temperature measuring end of the
temperature probe on the surface of or in the
object to be measured. The measured value will be
shown on the display.
Notes:
• The inside meter temperature will be automatically
displayed when there is no temperature probe
connected.
• The point contact temperature probe attached
to the meter can only measure temperature
lower than 250°C. When higher temperature
measurement is needed, please use other suitable temperature probe.
Square wave output (Model 72-7770A only)
To avoid meter damage, do not connect the output terminal (red test probe) to the
circuit with voltage higher than 10V.
To measure square wave output, perform the following steps:
• Turn the range selector to OUT range.
• The meter outputs square wave signal between VΩmA and COM Terminals.
Notes:
• The frequency is about 50Hz.
• The output amplitude is >2.3Vpp when the meter is connected to the circuit with
1MΩ resistance.
• When measurement is completed, disconnect the test probes from the circuit under
test.
