1. INTRODUCTION
This style of digital multimeter is designed and
manufactured according to the safety requirements set
out by EN61010-1, EN61010-2-030 standards for
electronic test instruments. Its design and manufacture is
strictly based on the provisions in the 1000V CAT III, 600V
CAT IV of IEC61010-1 and the Stipulation of 2-Pollution
Grade.
1.1 Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow
these guidelines:
Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the
protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.
Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear
damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly. If in
doubt, have the Meter serviced.
Always use the proper terminal, switch position, and
range for measurements before connecting Meter to
circuit under test.
Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known
voltage.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on
the Meter, between the terminals or between any
terminal and earth ground.
Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator
( ) appears.
Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes,
or capacitance.
Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the
finger guards.
Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the
Meter case or battery door.
Never operate the Meter with the cover removed or the
battery door open.
Comply with local and national safety requirements
when working in hazardous locations.
Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or
national authorities when working in hazardous areas.
Use only the replacement fuse specified or the protection
may be impaired.
If the meter is dirty after usage, it is advised to clean it by
using a humid cloth and mild house hold detergents.
Never use acid detergent or dissolvants.
1.2 Warranty
The meter is warranted to be free from defects in material
and workmanship under normal use and service. The
warranty period is one year and begins on the date of
shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are
warranted for 18 months except for misused, altered,
neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or
abnormal conditions of operation or handling.This
warranty does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries.

3.1 Power-UP Option
Holding a button down while turning the Meter on activates
a power-up option. Power-up options allow you to use
additional features and functions of the Meter. To select a
power-up option, hold down the appropriate button
indicated while turning the Meter from OFF to any switch
position. Power-up options are cancelled when the Meter
is turned OFF
Buttons Function
SHIFT Turns on all LCD segments.
MEM Disables automatic power-off function
Display shows PoFF until the button is
released
TEST Disable the timer of insulation function
DAR/PI Initiates a fully loaded battery test and
displays the charge level of the battery
until the button is released.
3.2 Automatic Power OFF
The Meter have automatic power off functionSleep mode
to conserve battery power .if there is no function change or
button press for 10 minutes. The Meter comes out of Sleep
mode when a key is pressed or when the rotary switched is
changed.
To disable the Sleep mode, hold down MEM button while
turning the Meter on. Sleep mode is always disabled in the
recording mode, insulation test active, or if the auto power
off feature has been disabled by pressing MEM button
when the Meter is turned on.
3.3 Fully loaded battery test
Hold down DAR/PI button while turning the Meter on,the
meter display the battery voltage.
Put up the DAR/PI button to exit battery voltage test.
3.4 Hold Funcionrotary switch at the position except
insulation
Press Hold button to freeze the displayed value. Press
again to release the display.
3.5 Relative Measurement
Show the difference between actual value and the relative
base.
Press REL Button to enter relative measurement and the
meter will record the initial value when pressing the key.
Displayed value = Actual value -Initial value
Press REL Button again to exit relative measurement.
3.6 Manual Ranging and Autoranging
To enter the Manual Range mode, press Range button and
Auto is hide, In the Manual Range mode, press Range
button to increment the range. After the highest range, the
Meter wraps to the lowest range.
To exit Manual Range, press Range button for one second
or turn the rotary switch. The Meter returns to Autorange
and Auto is displayed.
3.7 DAR and PI
Sometimes an insulation part with obvious drawbacks
(e.g., the insulation part is broken through under high
voltage) is nevertheless with a good absorption ratio (or
polarization index). Therefore, absorption ratio
(polarization index) cannot be used to discover local
insulation drawbacks other than dampness and
contamination.

background
True RMS Meters accurately measure distorted
waveforms, but when the input leads are shorted together
in the AC functions, the Meter displays a residual reading
between 1 and 30 counts. When the test leads are open,
the display readings may fluctuate due to interference.
These offset readings are normal. They do not affect the
Meters ac measurement accuracy over the specified
measurement ranges.
In AC Voltage measuring Mode to actived Low passed filter,
the signal diverts through a filter that blocks unwanted
frequencies above 1K Hz. To actived this funtion ,press
shift button,the screen display , to cancel low passed
filter function ,press Shift button again ;
To avoid possible electric shock or personalinjury, do not
use the Low-Pass Filter function to verify the presence of
hazardous voltages. Voltages greater than what is
indicated may be present. First, make a voltage
measurement without the filter to detect the possible
presence of hazardous voltage. Then, select the filter
function
4.3 Measuring Temperature
The Meter measures the temperature of a type-K
thermocouple (included). Choose between degrees
Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F) by pressing Shift
Button;
when the type-K thermocouple not connect to meter, the
meter display the ambient temperature the Meter is rated
for -30°C to 1300°C, the included K-type thermocouple is
rated for 260°C. For temperatures out of that range, use a
higher rated thermocouple.
To avoid risk of shock, do not connect thermocouple to
electrically live circuits.
