3.1 Auto Power Off
The meter has two power off function. In normal conditions when the meter is power on, if there is no operation
on any of the buttons or function keys within 30 mints, the meter will be automatically powered off. Five mints
before auto power off, the audible five beepers give indication that the meter is gong to be power off.

3. After setting up the upper and lower limits, measurement can be carried out and the LCD will have 3 kinds of
displays to the results:
a) If the measuring value exceeds the upper limit, the LCD displays the measuring value on the primary
b) If the measuring value exceeds the lower limit, the LCD display the measuring value on the primary
c) If the measuring value is between and upper and lower limit, the LCD displays the measuring value on
3.3 Set up the Time for Measurement
1. Press TIMER button to set enter the setup of time. The secondary display displays “0.00.00”
2. Press SELECT button and the last digit of “0.00.00” on the secondary display glitters, which means this digit
can be adjusted. Use the
second and third are minute, the fourth and fifth are second.)
3. Press TIMER button to validate the new setup. By now the measuring time is set.
3.4 Analog Bar Graph
The function of analog bar graph is imitating the analog needle of the meter but without the overshoot. The bar
graph refreshes data 40 times per second. Because the graph responds 10 times faster than the digital display, it is
widely used in the application of peak value test and zero calibration. It is also commonly used in observing the
rapid variation of input signals. The bar graph has 23 segments. The number of lit segments is relative to the
full-scale value of the selected range. One unit of the bar graph represents 4000 counts/bar except when in the
relative mode. The polarity is indicated at the left of the bar graph.
3.5 Square Wave Output
The square wave output is a very useful function. With adjustable square wave frequency and duty cycle, users
can carry out the pulse wave modulation (PWM) output, and adjust the voltage control, timer control and clock

3.6 Measurement Range
A measurement range determines the measuring limits. The meter has several measurement ranges.
1) Select a proper measurement range: If the selected measurement range is too small (the testing signal exceeds the measurement range), the
meter will display “OL” on the LCD.
If the selected measurement range is to large, the testing results may have a relatively low resolution.
2) Auto range and Manual range
The meter has both auto range and manual range for the measurements.
In the AUTO measuring mode, the meter will automatically select a most suitable range for the testing
signal. In AUTO mode, the meter will display “AUTO” on the LCD.
In the MANUAL measuring mode, the measuring range is selected manually by pressing RANGE
button.
If there is more than one range in a measuring function, the meter will default in AUTO range. This
allows users to override the auto range and lock the meter in a specific range.
In HOLD or MAX/MIN recording mode, changing the measurement range manually will automatically
exit the HOLD or MAX/MIN mode.
3) Enter or exit mauran range mode Press RANGE button to select manual range mode. Then, every press on the RANGE button, the meter
steps to a higher range and will return to the lowest range when the higher range is stepped into.
Pressing RANGE button for at least two seconds can also return to auto range mode.

7. MAINTENACE
The meter is a precise and intelligent instrument. It has been accurately calibrated in the factory before shipment.
Readjustment is recommended only if repairs have been made in a circuit affecting adjustment accuracy or if you
have a reason to believe the unit is out of adjustment.
The following instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any
servicing other than contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
Do not verify the circuit to avoid damaging. Power fuse: 200mA/250V (located in input power socket); Fuse for
measuring current: 800mA/250V (located in the current input terminal), 13A/250V (located the main circuit). The
fuse must be replaced by qualified personnel.
NOTE:
Do not connect the voltage higher than DC1000V or AC 1000V rms. Do not measure voltage at the Ω range. When replacing fuse, please take away the test leads from the measuring point and power off at first. Keep the instrument away from water, dust and shock. Do not operate the meter in high temperature or strong magnetic place. Do not use the abrasives or solvents to clean the meter.
7.1 Fuse replacement
NOTE: Please select fuse of the same specification to replace it.
Power fuse: 200mA/250V (located in input power socket); Fuse for measuring current: 800mA/250V (located in
the current input terminal), 13A/250V (located the main circuit).
1. Te s t fuse replacement:
Press the function key to Ω range Connect a test lead to “VΩHz” terminal, use the pen tip to touch the “mA” or “20A” terminal to test the
resistance of the fuse
If the tested fuse resistance is below 5Ω, it means the fuse is good. If the tested result is “OL” (over load), the fuse needed to be replaced. If the fuse is tested as good but the multimeter cannot carry measurement, please send the multimeter for
repair.
2. Fuse replacement
Disconnect the multimeter from AC power source, and take off all test leads.
2A fuse replacement
Press “mA” input jack by finger; take out the fuse jack after turning 90°angle anti-clockwise
Take off the fuse, and replace an equivalent then turn on the fuse jack.
After press the fuse into the fuse jack, turn 90°angle by an inverse hour direction.
13A fuse replacement (must be replaced by qualified personal.)
Screw off the four screws on the button shell by a screwdriver, take off the upper shell.
Take off the fuse, and replace an equivalent then turn on the fuse jack.
Take on the shell, .Screw on the four screws on the button shell by a screwdriver.
