FUNCTION BUTTONS
ON/OFF
To power ON the meter, rotate the Function Selector switch
2
from
the OFF setting to any measurement setting. To power OFF the meter,
rotate the Function Selector switch
2
to the OFF setting. The Auto-
Power Off icon
will be visible in the display. By default, the meter
will automatically power OFF after 5 minutes of inactivity.
If the meter
automatically powers-OFF while in a measurement setting, press any
button to power the meter ON, or rotate Function Selector
2
switch
to OFF, then power ON the meter.
To deactivate Auto-Power OFF
functionality press and hold the "SEL/NCV" button
12
before powering
ON from the OFF setting. When Auto-Power OFF is deactivated, the
Auto-Power Off icon
will not be visible in the display.
SEL / NCV BUTTON (FOR SECONDARY FUNCTIONS)
Pushing the SEL/NCV button
12
activates the secondary function
for each application accessible by the function selector switch
2
.
For voltage and current (excluding DC uA), it toggles between AC
and DC. For the other functions, it switches between °F and °C,
between Hz and % Duty-cycle, and between Continuity, Resistance,
Capacitance and Diode-Test. The default function for each application
is printed on the meter in white; the secondary function or functions
for each setting is printed on the meter in orange.
SEL / NCV BUTTON (FOR NCV TESTING)
Press and hold the SEL/NCV button
12
to enter Non-contact Voltage
Testing (NCV) mode to test for presence of AC voltage. The NCV
icon and "EF" will be present on the display. Approach the conductor
under test leading with the sensing antenna
14
.
In the presence of AC
voltage, the red NCV light
13
will flash, audible signals (beeps) will
sound, and dashes will appear on the display.
As the NCV sensing
antenna
14
approaches the voltage source, more dashes will be
presented on the display and the frequency of the audible sound will
increase. Release the SEL/NCV button to exit NCV testing mode
NOTE: Only voltages of 40V AC or greater will be detected.
BACKLIGHT BRIGHTNESS
Press and hold the HOLD/Brightness button
9
to toggle between
high and low brightness for the backlight. By default, the meter will
use the low brightness setting.
RANGE
The meter defaults to auto-ranging mode for voltage and resistance
measurements. This mode automatically determines the most
appropriate measurement range for the testing that is being conducted.
The
icon will be visible in the display. To manually force the meter
to measure in a different range, use the "RANGE" button
6
.
1. Press the "RANGE" button
6
to manually select measurement
range (
is deactivated on the LCD). Repeatedly press the
"RANGE" button
6
to cycle through the available ranges, stopping
once the desired range is reached.
2. To return to auto-ranging mode, press and hold the "RANGE"
button
6
for more than two seconds ( is reactivated).
MAX/MIN
The "MAX/MIN" function can be used when measuring with voltage,
current, resistance, temperature, and DC μA functions. When the
"MAX/MIN" button
7
is pressed, the meter keeps track of the
Maximum and Minimum values, and the difference between the
Maximum and Minimum values while continuing to take samples.
1. When measuring, press "MAX/MIN" button
7
to toggle between
the Maximum value (MAX), the Minimum value (MIN), and the
difference between Maximum and Minimum (MAX-MIN) values.
"
MAX
", "
MIN
", or "
MAX-MIN
" will appear on the display, indicating
the value being shown. If a new maximum or minimum occurs the
display updates with that new value.
2. Press "MAX/MIN" button
7
for more than two seconds to return
to normal measuring mode.
RELATIVE MODE
REL Measurement: Press REL/ZERO
8
to initiate measurement
relative to the current reading. The REL icon will be present on
the display. Subsequent measurements are displayed relative to
the original measurement. (Applies to AC/DC Voltage, AC Current,
Capacitance, DC μA, and Temperature). Press REL/ZERO
8
again to
exit relative mode.
DC ZERO Function: When measuring DC current with the clamp,
press REL/ZERO to activate the DC current zero function. This will set
the display to zero by subtracting the current value as an offset. The
ZERO icon will be present on the display. Press REL/ZERO
8
again
to exit DC current zero mode.
