Operating Instructions
Precautions before Operation:
1. Power on the instrument and check if it has sufficient battery. If the battery
voltage is low, the symbol will appear on the display, indicating that the
battery needs to be replaced before use.
2. The symbol next to the test lead input jack indicates that the input voltage
or current must not exceed the specified value to protect the internal circuitry
from damage.
3. Before testing, the function/range dial should be set to the desired range.
Voltage Measurement
1. Insert the red test lead into the VΩmA jack. Insert the black test lead into the
COM jack.
2. Set the function/range dial to the Voltage position and use the test leads to
measure the voltage of the circuit being tested (connect the test leads in parallel
with the circuit).
3. Read the measured voltage value from the LCD.
Note:
⚫ If the voltage to be measured is unknown, set the function dial to the highest
range and gradually reduce it until satisfactory resolution is achieved.
The maximum input voltage for the voltage range is 600V RMS. To avoid risk of
electric shock or instrument damage, do not attempt to measure voltage higher than
600V RMS.
Current Measurement
1. Insert the black test lead into the COM jack. If the current to be measured is less
than 200mA, insert the red test lead into the VΩmA jack; if the current is
between 200mA and 10A, insert the red test lead into the 10A jack.
2. Set the function/range dial to the Current position and connect the test leads in
series with the load to be tested. The current value and the polarity of the red test
lead will be displayed simultaneously.
Note:
● If the current range to be measured is unknown, set the dial to the highest range
and gradually reduce it until satisfactory resolution is achieved.
● If the display shows only “1” or “OL”, it indicates an overload, and the dial must
be set to a higher range.
● The symbol next to the test lead input jacks indicates a maximum input
current of either 200mA or 10A, depending on the jack being used. Excessive
current will blow the fuse.
Resistance Measurement
1. Insert the black test lead into the COM jack. Insert the red test lead into the
VΩmA jack.
2. Set the function/range dial to the desired Ω range, then connect the test leads in
parallel with the resistor being measured. Read the measurement result from the
LCD.
Note:
⚫ If the display shows only “1” or “OL”, it indicates that the measured resistance
exceeds the maximum value of the selected range, and the function dial must be
set to a higher range. When measuring resistances above 1MΩ, it may take a few
seconds for the reading to stabilize. This is normal for high-resistance
measurements.
⚫ When there is no input, e.g., when there is an open circuit, the instrument will
display “1” or “OL”.
⚫ Before measuring resistance in a live circuit, ensure that all power sources are
turned off and all capacitors are fully discharged.
Diode Measurement
1. Insert the black test lead into the COM jack. Insert the red test lead into the
VΩmA jack.
2. At this point, the red test lead will have a positive (+) polarity.
3. Set the function/range dial to the position. Connect the red test lead to the
anode of the diode and the black test lead to the cathode. The LCD will display
the approximate forward voltage drop of the diode.
Continuity Test
1. Insert the black test lead into the COM jack. Insert the red test lead into the
VΩmA jack.
2. Set the function/range dial to the position. Connect the test leads to two
points of the circuit being tested. If the resistance between the two points is less
than approximately 50Ω ± 30Ω, the built-in buzzer will sound, indicating
continuity between those points.
Battery Measurement
1. Insert the black test lead into the COM jack. Insert the red test lead into the
VΩmA jack. At this point, the red test lead will have a positive (+) polarity.
2. Set the function/range dial to the position.
3. Connect the red test lead to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect the
black test lead to the negative terminal of the battery.
Note: The maximum voltage for battery measurement must not exceed 36V.
Exceeding this limit could damage the instrument.
Transistor Measurement
1. Set the function/range dial to the hFE position.
2. Insert the E, B, and C terminals of the transistor being tested into the
corresponding E, B, and C sockets on the panel.
3. Read the transistor’s gain value from the LCD.
Note: No voltage should be applied when in the hFE range to avoid
damaging the instrument.
Non-Contact Voltage Detection (NCV)
1. Set the function/range dial to the NCV Live position, then press the H button to
select “NCV” measurement mode. The LCD will display “EF”.
2. Move the NCV detection area at the top of the instrument close to the live object.
If voltage is detected, the NCV indicator light will flash, and at the same time,
the buzzer will emit a “beep-beep-beep” alarm sound to warn the user that
voltage is present in the area.
Note:
⚫ Even if there is no indication, voltage may still be present. Do not rely solely on
the NCV detector to determine whether a conductor is live.
⚫ Detection results may be affected by factors such as socket design, insulation
thickness, and material type.
⚫ External sources of interference (e.g., flashlights, motors, etc.) may affect the
instrument, causing inaccurate detection.
Live Wire Identification (Live)
1. Set the function/range dial to the NCV Live position, then press the H button to
select “Live” measurement mode. The display will show “0”.
2. Insert the red test lead into the VΩ jack and use the tip of the red test lead to
touch the AC voltage. When the instrument emits a “beep-beep-beep” alarm
sound, the NCV indicator light flashes, and the display shows “L”, the wire
being touched is the live wire.
Note:
⚫ If the circuit has severe leakage, the meter may also emit a warning sound when
the red test lead touches the neutral wire.
⚫ Detection results may be affected by factors such as socket design, insulation
thickness, and material type.
⚫ External sources of interference (e.g., flashlights, motors, etc.) may affect the
instrument, causing inaccurate detection.
Replacing the Battery and Fuse
1. Under normal circumstances, the fuse does not need to be replaced. Power off
the instrument and remove the test leads before proceeding with fuse or battery
replacement. Unscrew the screws on the back cover to open the case.
2. The fuse specifications for this instrument are: F200mA/250V and F10A/250V
fast-blow type. The replacement fuse must be of the same specification.
3.Use the same type of battery when replacing the battery.
4.After replacing the battery or fuse, the back cover must be securely tightened
before using the instrument.
Warning
⚫ To avoid electric shock, ensure that the test leads are disconnected from the
circuit before opening the back cover.
⚫ Before using the instrument, ensure that the back cover is securely fastened.
