•
Set

switch
to
the
appropriate
position
before
measuring.
•
When
measuring
volts
do
not
switch
to
current/resistance
modes.
•
Do
not
measure
current
on
a
circuit
whose
voltage
exceeds
1000V.
•
When changing ranges always disconnect the test leads from the circuit under
test.
•
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

2-
4.CAUTIONS
•
Read
and
understand
this
user
manual
before
operating
the
meter.
•
Improper
use
of
this
meter
can
cause
damage,
shock,
injury
or
death.
•
Always
remove
the
test
leads
before
replacing
the
battery
.
•
If the test leads need to be replaced, you must use a new one which should
meet EN 61010-031 standard.
•
Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself for any damage
before operating the meter, repair or replace any damage before use.
•
Use great care when making measurements if the voltages are greater than
25VAC rms or 35VDC, these voltages are considered a shock hazard.
•
Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the device under test
before performing Diode, Resistance or Continuity tests.
•
Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and misleading because
of the uncertainty of connection to the recessed electrical contacts, other
means should be used to ensure that the terminals are not “live”.
•
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

•
Capacitive coupling between wires make it appear that non-powered wires are
connected to a real source of voltage.
•
The

If one reading displays a value (typically 0.400V to 0.900V) and the other reading
displays “
OL
”, the diode is good.
•
If
both
readings
display
“
OL
”
the
device
is
open.
•
If
both
readings
are
very
small
or
“

is
shorted.

WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitor under test before
measuring.
1.
Set the rotary switch to the
Ω

Position.
2.
Insert the black test lead banana into the
COM
Input Jack; Insert the red test
lead banana into the
Positive
Input Jack.
3.
Touch the test probe tips across the part under test, if “
OL
” appears in the
display, remove and discharge the component.
4.
Read the capacitance value in the display, the display will indicate the proper
decimal point and value.
Note:
For very large values of capacitance measurement it can take several
minutes before the final reading stabilizes.

Measurement
WARNING:
Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the Voltage Detector
on a known live circuit to verify proper operation.
1.
Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert into the hot side of the
electrical outlet.
2.
If AC voltage is present, the detector light will illuminate.
Note:
The conductors in electrical cord sets are often twisted, for best results,
rub the probe tip along a length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close
proximity to the live conductor.
Note:
The detector is designed with high sensitivity, static electricity or other
sources of energy may randomly trip the sensor, this is normal operation.

Maintenance
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit,
remove the test leads from the input terminals, and turn OFF the meter before
opening the case. Do not operate the meter with an open case.

or
solvents.
•
If the meter is not to be used for 60 days or more, remove the battery and store
it separately.
6-2.Battery Replacement
1.Remove the Phillips head screw that secures the rear battery door.
2.Open the battery compartment.
3.Replace the 3x1.5V AAA Akline batteries.
