Operating Manual of UT70A Multimeter

HIGHLIGHTS

UT70A Multimeter is a hand-held digital multimeter with
advanced design, multiple functions, novel figuration,
large display screen and reliable performance. This meter
is fully capable to measure voltage and current both AC
and DC, resistance, capacitance, inductance, temperature,
frequency, forward voltage drop of diode, transistor hFE
and continuity test, TTL LOGIC level measurement. It
has some extraordinary functions such as holding the
measured data and maximum value, providing backlight
display in a dim condition, displaying polarity, over-range,
low battery , and units icons, and full overloading protection
and automatic power off.

NOTES FOR SAFE USAGE

1) CE Version: The Meter complies with the standards
IEC61010-1:in pollution degree 2, overvoltage category
CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V and double insulation .
UL Version: The Meter complies with the standards
UL61010B-1, in pollution degree 2, overvoltage
category CAT II 1000V and double insulation.
CA TII: Local level, appliance, POR TABLE EQUIPMENT
etc., with smaller transient overvoltages than Installation
CategoryIII.
CATIII: Distribution level, fixed installation,with smaller
transient overvoltages than CAT IV.
CAT IV: Primary supply level, overhead lines,
cablesystems etc.

2) Make sure the insulation of the meter in good condition,
no damage and break before use.

3) Don’t use at all unless the back case is in place or
there is danger of electric shock.

4) Battery should be replaced to ensure an accurate
measurement when " " appears on LCD.

5) Set the Range Selector to a proper position.

6) The measured value shall not exceed the maximum
range of each measurement to protect the meter from
damage and electric shock to user.

7) Range Selector shall not be switched during
measurement to avoid damage to the meter.

8) Cautions shall be taken to prevent electric shock
when the measured voltage is higher than 60V in
DC or 42Vrms in AC.

9) Identical fuse shall be used when replacing the fuse:
5x20(mm) – F 0.5A 250V or 5X20(mm) –
F 10A 250V. 5X20(mm) – F 0.63A 250V.

10) Avoid using the meter in a high temperature and high
humidity condition, the performance may deteriorate
when the meter is dampened in a wet condition in
particular.

11) Please use test clips when measuring large size
inductor and capacitor to protect the multi-purpose
socket from damage.

12) This digital multimeter is a precise instrument and
its circuit and potentiometer shall not be altered at will.

13) Soft cloth and mild detergent may be applied to clean
the case for maintenance of this meter while no
abrasive or solvent shall be used.

14) Reset LC button, leaving LC circuit in Off mode, after
a LC measurement for comparatively large LC current.
