SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to insure maximum personal safety during the operation at this meter:
1. Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect that the meter is not operating properly.
2. This meter is not recommended for high voltage industrial use; for example, not for measurements of 440 VAC or 600 VAC industrial power mains. The unit is intended for use with low energy circuits to 600V AC/DC or high energy circuit to 250 VAC or DC.
3. Use caution when working above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
4. When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
5. Measuring voltage which exceeds the limits of the meter may cause damage and expose the operator to a shock hazard. Always respect the voltage limits as stated on the meter.
6. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

OPERATION
Before taking any measurements, read the Safety Information Section.
Always examine the instrument for damage, contamination (excessive dirt, grease, etc.) and defects. Examine the test leads for cracked or frayed insulation.
If any abnormal conditions exist do not attempt to make any measurements.
Auto Power-down mode
If unused for about 30 minutes, the tester will power-down automatically. If you should diseble Auto Power-down mode, press SELECT buttom when you turn on the meter.
Back-Light and Data-Hold Switch ( >2sec),(
H
):
Press this button briefly to activate DATA-HOLD mode. The " H " annunciator is displayed.
Press this button for 2 seconds to turn the Back-Light on. As this also activates the DATA-HOLD mode, briefly press the button to return to normal display. To turn the Back-Light off press again for 2 seconds.

SELECT Function Button
(DC/AC),( W /
/ )
The SELECT Function button is Yellow in color. Press it to toggle to the alternate function (AC, Audible continuity, Diode and capacitance) shown in Yellow on the meter face.
Voltage Measurements
1. Connect the red test lead to the "V W " jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
2. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired voltage function.
3. Connect the test leads to the device or circuit being measured.
4. For dc, a (-) sign is displayed for negative polarity; positive polarity is implied.
Frequency Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the ACV position, and then press Hz-% button to toggle the voltage/frequency/duty cycle mode.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "V W " jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
3. Connect the test leads to the point of measurement and read the frequency from the display.
7
Duty Cycle Measurements
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the ACV position, and then press Hz-% button to toggle the voltage/frequency/duty cycle mode.
2. Connect the red test lead to the "V W " jack and the black test lead to the "COM" jack.
3. Connect the test leads to the point of measurement. The display will indicate
10% to 90% of the frequency duty cycle.

".000" or another number is displayed.
6. If the diode is open, "OL" is displayed, in both directions.
7. If the junction is measured in a circuit and a low reading is obtained with both lead connections, the junction may be shunted by a resistance of less than
1k W . In this case the diode must be disconnected from the circuit for accurate testing.
