3.2 Measurement Guide
The instrument adopts manual/automatic integrated design to
measure voltage or resistance by choosing either auto range
measurement or manual range measurement.
The unit of resistance is ohms (Ω).
The instrument's resistance range is 999.9Ω, 9.999kΩ, 99.99kΩ,
999.9kΩ, 9.999MΩ, 99.99MΩ.
V
2. Connect the black measurement probe and the red measurement
probe to the COM input socket and the V input socket, respectively.
3. Use another two terminals of the measurement probe to measure
the voltage value of the circuit under test. (connection in parallel
with the circuit to be tested)
4. The measured voltage value is read by the liquid crystal display,
and the voltage value can be directly displayed in the automatic
gear. If the manual voltage gear is used, the knob needs to be
rotated to the appropriate gear to read the voltage value. When
measuring AC voltage, the display will display both voltage value
and frequency values at the same time. When measuring DC
voltage,he display will simultaneously display the polarity of the
voltage to which the red measurement probe is connected.
Measuring resistance:
1.Rotate the rotary switch to the gear to the auto range measurement Ω
mode, or rotate the knob to 1000Ω, 10KΩ, 100KΩ, 1000KΩ, 10MΩ,
100MΩ in gear to enter the auto range measurement mode. Ω
2. Connect the black test pen and the red test pen to the COM input
socket and the V / input socket, respectively.
3. Use another two terminals of the measurement probe to measure
the resistance value of the circuit under test.
4. Read the measured resistance value from the LCD. The resistance
value can be directly displayed in the automatic gear. If the manual
resistance gear is used, the knob needs to be rotated to the
appropriate gear to read the resistance value.
Note:
The measured resistance value on the circuit will usually differ
from the rated value of the resistor.
When measuring low resistance, please short-circuit the
resistance of the two shorts to read the short of the test leads in
order to keep the accuracy of the measurement. After measuring
the measured resistance, the resistance value needs to be
subtracted.
In the 100M gear, it takes a few seconds for stabilizing the reading.
This is normal for high resistance measurements.
When the instrument is in the open circuit or the resistance of the
measured object is too large, the display will show “OL, indicating
that the measured value is out of range.
3.2.3 Testing continuity and diode
The instrument adopts the continuity/diode automatic
identification function.
To avoid damage to the instrument or the device under test,
all power to the circuit under test should be cut off and all
high voltage capacitors should be fully discharged before
measuring the diode.
In order to avoid damage to the instrument under test, all
power to the circuit under test should be cut off and all high
voltage capacitors should be fully discharged before the
buzzer make-and-break test.
3.2.4 Perform continuity or diode measurements
1. Turn the rotary switch to the gear.
2. Connect the black measurement probe and the red
measurement probe to the COM input socket and the V/ Ω input
socket, respectively.
3. Connect the black measurement probe and the red measurement
probe to the two terminals of the object to be tested.
4. If the object to be measured is a diode, place the red and black
measurement probes at the positive and negative terminals of the
diode respectively. The instrument will display the forward bias
value of the diode under test. If the polarity of the measurement
probe is reversed or the polarity of the test point connected to the
diode is reversed, the instrument will display “OL. In the circuit,
a normal diode should produce a forward voltage drop of 0.5V to
0.8V; however, the reading of reverse bias will depend on the
change in resistance of the other channels between the two
measurement probes.
5.If the resistance of the circuit under test is less than about 100 ,
the instrument will automatically switch to the make-and-break
measurement mode. When the resistance of the circuit under test
is more than about 15, the instrument will automatically switch to
continuity, and the indicator light (green light) induced will be on
for a long time. The buzzer will make a continuous sound. When
the resistance of the circuit under test is between about 15~30,
the indicator light (green light) will flash and the buzzer will make
interrupted sound.
3.2.5 Measuring capacitance
To avoid damage to the instrument or the device under test,
turn off all power to the circuit under test and fully discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before measuring electric
capacity. The DC voltage gear is used to determine that the
capacitors have been discharged.
Measuring capacitance:
1. Turn the rotary switch to the gear .
2. Connect the black measurement probe and red measurement
probe to the COM input socket and input socket respectively.
3. Use another two terminals of the measurement probe to
measure the electric capacity value of the electric capacity to
be tested, and read the measured value from the liquid-crystal
display.
When measuring large capacitance, it takes time to stabilize
the reading.
When measuring the electric capacity with the polarity, pay
attention to the corresponding polarity and avoid damage to
the instrument.
Note:
3.2.6 Measurement frequency
Do not measure any frequency of the voltage above
250V DC or AC rms to prevent electric shock and/or
damage to the instrument.
Measuring frequency:
1. Rotate the rotary switch to the AC Voltage or AC Current Range.
2. Connect the black measurement probe and the red measurement
probe to the COM input socket and the Hz input socket, respectively.
3. Measure the frequency value of the circuit under test with
another two terminals of the measurement probe.
4. Read the testing value of AC Volatge or AC Currentthe
frequency value show on the LCD simultaneously.
3.2.7 Measuring current
When the open-circuit voltage to the earth exceeds 250V,
be sure to not attempt to make current measurements on
the circuit. If the fuse is burnt out during the measurement,
you may damage the instrument or hurt yourself.
To avoid damage to the instrument or the device under test,
check the fuse of the instrument before making current
measurements. When measuring, use the correct input
socket, function gear and range. When the measurement
probe is plugged into the current input socket, do not
connect the other terminal of the measurement probe in
parallel to any circuit.
The instrument's DC current range is 99.99μA, 99.99mA,
600.0mAand 10.00A, the alternating current measuring range is
99.99mA,600.0mA and 10.00A;
Measuring current:
1. Turn the rotary switch to the appropriate gear.
2. Connect the black measurement probe to the COM input
socket. Connect the red measurement probe to the uA/mA
input socket if the measured current is less than 600mA; if the
measured current is between 600mA and 10A, connect the red
measurement probe to the 10A input socket.
3. Disconnect the circuit to be tested. Connect the black
measurement probe to the terminal of the disconnected circuit
(with lower voltage) and the red measurement probe to the
terminal of the disconnected circuit (with higher voltage).
4. Connect the power to the circuit and read the displayed reading.
In the AC current gear, the screen simultaneously displays the
current value and frequency. If the display only shows "OL",
which means that the input exceeds the selected range, the
rotary switch should be placed at a higher range.
Rotate the rotary switch to the NCV gear to close the top of the
instrument to the conductor. If the instrument detects the AC
voltage, the instrument will light the corresponding signal strength
indicator according to the detected signal strength. When the
sensed voltage is low, the screen will display --- L, the green
indicator light is on for a long time. When the sensed voltage is
high, the screen displays -- H, the two red indicators light up, and
the buzzer sounds an alarm at different frequencies.
3.2.8 NCV test (non-contact voltage detection)
Note:
1. Even if no indication exists, the voltage may still exist. Do not
rely on non-contact voltage detectors to determine if a wire has
a voltage. Detection operations may be affected by factors such
as socket design, insulation thickness and type.
2. When the voltage is entered into the input terminal of the
instrument, the voltage sensing indicator may also be bright
due to the presence of induced voltage.
3. Interference sources in the external environment (such as
flashing light, motor, etc.) may trigger non-contact voltage
detection by mistake.
1. Rotate the rotary switch to the Live gear.
3.2.9 Live Line Test
2. Connect the red measurement probe to the V input socket.
3.Insert a single measurement probe into the power socket L jack
or close to the live wire. If the instrument detects the AC voltage,
it will judge whether the voltage is a firewire according to the
detected signal strength. If it is judged to be a live line, the
display will send display LIVE and the green indicator light will
be on, the buzzer will send an alarm with different intensities.
Set the range switch to °C/°F gear and the screen will display
normal temperature.

5. Instrument maintenance
This section provides basic maintenance information, including
instructions for replacing the fuse and replacing the battery.
Do not attempt to repair the instrument unless you are an
experienced serviceman with relevant calibration, performance
testing, and maintenance information.
5.1 General Maintenance
To avoid electric shock or damage to the instrument, do not
wet the inside of the instrument. The connection wire
between the measurement probe and input signal must be
removed before opening the case or battery cover.
Regularly clean the case of the instrument with a damp cloth and
a small amount of detergent. Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents. Input sockets that are dirty or damp may affect readings.
Cleaning the input socket:
Turn off the instrument and pull all the measurement probes out
of the input socket.
Remove any dirt from the socket.
Use a new cotton ball dipped in detergent or lubricant to clean
each socket. The lubricant can be used to prevent socket
contamination relevant to the moisture.
5.2 Replacing the battery and fuse
Please replace the battery according to the following steps:
1. Turn off the power of the instrument.
2. Pull all the measurement probes out of the input socket.
3. Loosen the screws that secure the battery cover with a
screwdriver.
4. Remove the cover of the battery.
5. Remove the old battery or damaged fuse.
6. Replace with a new 2 x 1. 5V AA battery or a new fuse tube
7. Install the battery cover and tighten the screws.

Note:
In the 1000mV range of DC and AC, even if the measurement
probe isn't entered or connected, the reading will be displayed on
the instrument. In this case, short-circuit the “V ”andCOM
terminals to make the instrument display return to zero.
Under the AC voltage function of the auto range, press the V.F.C
button to measure the AC frequency conversion voltage.
You can also insert the red plug of the thermocouple into the
°C terminal and the black plug into the COM jack. When the
reading is stable, the temperature value can be read directly
from the display.
Temperature coefficient: 0.1 accuracy / OC (<18 OC or >28 OC).
