Overview
Warning
To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the
"Safety Information" and "Rules for Safe Operation"
carefully before using the Meter.
Digital Multimeters Model UT50E (hereafter referred to
as “the Meter”) is a 4 1/2 digits with steady operations,
fashionable structure and highly reliable hand-held
measuring instrument having 30 measurement positions.
The multimeter uses large scale of integrated circuit with
double integrated A/D converter as its core and has full
range overload protection. The multimeter not only can
measure AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance,
Capacitance, Temperature, Frequency, Diodes and
Continuity , but also has Data Hold, Full Icon Display and
Sleep Mode features.
The multimeter adopted advanced “co-injection”
technique in order to provide sufficient insulation and
anti-shaking. In addition, the Automatic Display Backlight
feature enables user to work in a dim condition.

Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards IEC61010: in
pollution degree 2, overvoltage category (CA T. II 1000V,
CAT. III 600V) and double insulation.
CA T. II: Local level, appliance, PORTABLE EQUIPMENT
etc., with smaller transient voltage overvoltages than
CAT. III
CA T. III: Distribution level, fixed installation, with smaller
transient overvoltages 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 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 on.
International electrical symbols used on the Meter and
in this Operating Manual are explained on page 8.

Rules For Safe Operation (1)
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:
l Before using the Meter inspect the case. Donot
use the Meter if it is damaged or the case (orpart
of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or
missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulation
around the connectors.
l 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.
l Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as
marked on the Meter, between the terminals or
between any terminal and grounding.
l The rotary switch should be placed in the right
position and no any changeover of range shall
be made during measurement is conducted to
prevent damage of the Meter.
l When the Meter working at an effective voltage
over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, special care
should be taken for there is danger of electric
shock.
l Use the proper terminals, function, and range
for your measurements.
l Do not use or store the Meter in an environment
of high temperature, humidity, explosive,
inflammable and strong magnetic field. The
performance of the Meter may deteriorate after
dampened.
l When using the test leads, keep your fingers
behind the finger guards.

Rules For Safe Operation (2)
l Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, capacitance or current.
l Before measuring current, check the Meter’s
fuses and turn off power to the circuit before
connecting the Meter to the circuit.
l Replace the battery as soon as the battery
indicator appears. With a low battery , the Meter
might produce false readings that can lead to
electric shock and personal injury.
l Remove test leads, test clips and temperature
probe from the Meter and turn the Meter power
off before opening the Meter case.
l When servicing the Meter, use only the same
model number or identical electrical specifications
replacement parts.
l The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be
altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and
any accident.
l Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used
to 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.
l The Meter is suitable for indoor use.
l Turn the Meter power off when it is not in use
and take out the battery when not using for a
long time.
l Constantly check the battery as it may leak when
it has been using for some time, replace the
battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking
battery will damage the Meter.
