Overview
This Operating Manual covers information on safety and cautions. Please read the relevant information carefully and observe all the Warnings and Notes strictly.
Warning To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the “Safety Information” and “Rules for Safe Operation” carefully before using the Meter.
Scope Digital Multimeter 72-8400 (hereafter referred to as “the Meter”) is a 3999 count, 3 3/4 digit device which adopts digital control techiques with oscilloscope and multimeter functions all in one.
Scope mode is a complete intelligent measurement system including signal input, sampling, data process, auto search and waveform save and recall. It has

bandwidth of 8MHz, and real-time sample rate of 40MS/s (mega-samples per second). It can measure
AC/DC engine, transducer, circuit, control, UPS and industrial equipment. It is an ideal tool in the professional
service industry.
In Digital Multimeter mode, this unit can measure AC
voltage and current, DC voltage and current, Resistance, Capacitance, Frequency, Duty Cycle, Diodes and Continuity.

Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010 safety measurement requirement: in pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CAT. II 1000V, CAT.III 600V) and double insulation.
CAT.II: Local level, appliance, PORTABLE EQUIPMENT etc., with smaller transient overvoltages than CAT. III CAT. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller transient overvoltage than CAT. IV
Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual, otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be impaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that may pose hazards to the user, or may damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
A Note identifies the information that user should pay attention to.

Rules For Safe Operation
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, adhere to the following rules:
Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do not use the Meter if it is damaged or the case (or part of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulation around the connectors. Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads with identical model number or electrical specifications before using the Meter. Do not apply more than the 1000V rms between any terminal and ground to avoid electric
shock or damage to the Meter.
Place the rotary switch in the desired position
l
prior to making measurements. Changing
during measurement should be avoided to
prevent damage of the Meter.
When working at an effective voltage
l
over 60V DC or 42V rms AC, special care should be taken for there is danger of electric shock. Use the proper terminals, function, and range
l
for your measurements. Do not use or store the Meter in an environment
l
of high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field. The performance of the Meter may deteriorate after dampened. When using the test leads, keep your fingers
l
behind the finger guards. Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
l
voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes. Before measuring current, check the Meter’s
l
fuses and turn off power to the circuit before
connecting the Meter to the circuit. Replace the battery as soon as the battery
l
indicator Meter might produce false readings that can lead to electric shock and personal injury. When servicing the Meter, use only the same
l
model number or identical electrical specifications replacement parts. The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be
l
altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident. Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to
l
clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and accident. The Meter is suitable for indoor use.
l
Turn the Meter off when it is not in us e and take
l
out the battery when not using for a long time. Constantly check the battery as it may leak when
l
it has been used for some time, replace the battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking
battery will damage the Meter.

Introduction
Chapter 3 explains how to make measurements. You could turn the Meter off by turning to OFF position
or set up the sleep mode from 1-30 minutes. Please ensure the Meter is not under sleep mode if you turn the Meter on without display.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as
soon as the battery indicator “
” appears.
