Universal Enterprise DL369 Installation Manual

• Do not attempt to measure any voltage that exceeds the

category based rating of this meter

• Do not attempt to use this meter if either the meter or the test
leads have been damaged - Turn instrument in for repair at a
qualified repair facility

• Ensure meter leads are fully seated by making a quick
continuity check of the leads prior to making voltage

measurements

• Keep your fingers away from the test lead’s metal probe
contacts when making measurements - Always grip the leads
behind the finger guards molded into the probes

• Do not open the meter to replace batteries while the

probes are connected

Safety Notes

Exceeding the specified limits of this meter is dangerous and can
expose the user to serious or possibly fatal injury.

• Voltages above 60 volts DC or 25 volts AC may constitute a

serious shock hazard

• Always turn off power to a circuit (or assembly) under test
before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the current path ­ Even small amounts of current can be dangerous

• Always disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the
common test lead from a circuit

• In the event of electrical shock, ALWAYS bring the victim to the
emergency room for evaluation, regardless of the victim’s
apparent recovery - Electrical shock can cause an unstable

heart rhythm that may need medical attention

• If any of the following indications occur during testing, turn off

the power source to the circuit under test:

• Arcing

• Flame

• Smoke

• Extreme heat

• Smell of burning materials

• Discoloration or melting of components

WARNING!

WARNING!

Higher voltages and currents require greater awareness of physical
safety hazards. Before connecting the test leads; turn off the power
to the circuit under test; set the meter to the desired function and
range; connect the test leads to the meter first, then connect to the
circuit under test. Reapply power. If an erroneous reading is
observed, disconnect power immediately and recheck all settings
and connections.

This meter is designed for trade professionals who are familiar
with the hazards of their trade. Observe all recommended safety
procedures that include proper lock-out utilization and the user of
personal protective equipment that including safety glasses,
gloves and flame resistant clothing.

19. Category Max Indicator: Indicates maximum voltage for the

rated working category.

WARNING!

Do Not exceed 1000 volts DC or AC - RMS at either the
common or multifunction imput ports as measured from
earth ground.

1. Clamp: Measure inductive AC current. Opens to 1.25" (32 mm).

2. Wire Separation Tab/NCV sensor : Used to isolate an

individual wire from a bundle for testing.NCV sensor helps
detect live voltage.

3. Conductor Alignment Marks: Used to aid in the visual
alignment of a conductor when measuring inductive amperage.
Greatest accuracy is achieved when the conductor inside the
clamp is centered at the intersection of these marks.

4. Test Lead Holder: Used for hands-free use of one of the test

probes.

5. Hand Guard: Used as a point of reference for the operators
safety.

20. Multifunction Input Jack: Used for measuringAC/DC Volts,
Frequency or Duty Cycle, Resistance,Diode, Continuity and
Capacitance.

WARNING!

Always keep your hands and fingers behind the hand guards
when measuring current on exposed conductors. Contact may
result in serious injury.

6. Clamp Lever: Opens and closes current clamp jaw.

NOTE: The clamp uses a high tension spring to close the
jaw. Do not allow fingers or objects to become pinched in
the base as jaw closes

7. NCV Button: Activates non-contact voltage function

8. Range Button: Used to select range for upper and lower display.

9. HOLD/Backlight Button: Freezes display or activates display
backlight and work area light. (Backlit and work area light only
available on DL379/DL389)

10. MIN/MAX Button: Activates MIN/MAX capture function,
cycles through minimum value, maximum value. Press longer

than two seconds to return to current reading.

11. Rotary Function Switch:Turns meter on and is used to select

the range or function

Before using this meter, read all safety information carefully. In this

manual the word "WARNING" is used to indicate conditions or actions
that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word "CAUTION" is
used to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this
instrument.

12. Upper Display : Used to display current when used with UEi

clamp or hook adapter. Displays output from other accessories
when connected to the UEi meter.

13. Lower Display: Used to display input to test lead jacks.
Includes AC/DC Volts, Frequency, Resistance, Diode,
Capacitance and AC/DC microamps (µA).

14. Select Button: Used to choose measurement mode from
selections with multiple options such as AC or DC volts, AC or
DC µA, Resistance, Diode, Capacitance or Continuity,

Temperature in ˚F or ˚C.

Operating Instructions

Auto power off

After powering off, the meter will turn back on if you perform one of
the following; Change the range, move the position of the selector or
any other button is pressed. NOTE APO is disabled while in MIN/MAX

mode.

Back-light / work area light(DL379 / DL389 only)

Press the “HOLD” button longer than two seconds to activate the
backlight/work area light. The lights automatically turn off after 2
minutesto extend battery life.

NOTE: After activating worklight, press briefly to activate hold.

Auto / Manual Range

In auto range the meter will select the best range for the measured
value, and "AT" is displayed. Press the "RANGE" button to cycle
through available ranges. “AT” will not be on the display when locked
in a specific range. Press and hold ”RANGE” button to return to auto
range.

MIN/MAX mode

When using the MIN/MAX capture mode for Amps, it is recommended
that you first select the range of the expected maximum value. If this
is not done it will lock in the lowest range possible for the initial
measurement. If the maximum value exceeds this range the meter will
capture “O.L” as the maximum value.
