you set to OFF, the Meter retains on until you turn the
rotary switch to OFF or the battery becomes too weak.
Battery Considerations
The Meter uses one 9V Battery (NEDA 1604, 6F22,

Low Battery Indication

A constant battery icon ( ) in the upper left corner of
the display notifies you that the batteries are low and
should be replaced.
Warning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible
electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as
soon as the battery icon ( ) appears.

Rotary Switch
Turn the Meter on by selecting any measurement function. The Meter presents a standard display for that function.
The display may also be influenced by some of the choices made in Setup.
Use the blue button to select any rotary switch alternate function (labeled in blue letters).
When you turn the rotary switch from one function to another, a display for the new function appears. Button choices
made in one function do not carry over into another function.

Making Measurement
Introduction
Chapter 3 explains how to make measurements. Most
measurement functions can be selected by using the
rotary switch.
While letters or symbols identify primary functions; blue

letters or symbols identify alternative functions. Press
the BLUE button to access these alternate functions.
A. Measuring Voltages
Warning
To avoid harms to you or damages to the Meter
from electric shock, please do not attempt to
measure voltages higher than 1000V, although
readings may be obtained.

B. Measuring Currents
Warning
If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter
may be damaged or the operator himself may be hurt.
To avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the

equipment under test, check the Meterís fuses before
measuring current. Use proper terminals, function,
and range for the measurement. Never place the
testing leads in parallel with any circuit or component
when the leads are plugged into the current terminals.
To measure AC or DC current, set up the Meter as

C. Measuring Resistance
Warning
To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to input
voltage higher than 60V DC or 30V rms AC.
To avoid possible damages to the Meter or to the

devices under test, disconnect circuit power and
discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before
measuring resistance.
To measure resistance, set up the Meter as shown in
Figure 3-3 and follow the following procedure:
1. Insert the red test lead into the terminal and the
black test lead into the COM terminal.
2. Set the rotary switch to ; press BLUE button
to select measurement mode.

To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under

test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the
high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes.
Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and

other semiconductor devices. The diode test sends a
current through the semicondutor junction, then measure
the voltage drop across the junction. A good silicon
junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V
To test the diode out of a circuit, set up the Meter as

is ì+î while the black test lead polarity is ì- ì.
The measured value shows on the display.
The BLUE button cycles among resistance, continuity,
and diode.
Note
l In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a
forward voltage drop reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however,
the reverse voltage drop reading can vary depending
on the resistance of other pathways between the
probe tips.
l Connect the test leads to the proper terminals as
said above to avoid error display.
l The LCD will display OL indicating either open circuit
or wrong polarity connection.

F. Measuring Capacitance
Warning
To ensure accuracy, the Meter inside is discharged
against the tested capacitor. ìDIS.Cî will be shown
on the display when it is under discharging, this
process will be quite slow.
To avoid damage to the Meter or to the equipment

under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before measuring
capacitance.
Use the DC Voltage function to confirm that the capacitor

is discharged.
To measure capacitance, set up the Meter as shown

in Figure 3-6 and proceed as follows:
1. Insert the red test lead into the terminal and
the black test lead into the COM terminal.

the accuracy.
To improve the measurement accuracy of small value
capacitors (less than 10nF), press REL with the
test leads open to subtract the residual capacitance
of the Meter and leads.
3. It is recommended to use test clip to carry out
measurement to reduce the effect of internal
distributed capacitor.
Note
l The LCD displays OL indicating the tested capacitor
is shorted or it exceeds the maximum range.
l Capacitors larger than 400µF take longer time. The
analogue bar graph shows the time left before
finishing the measurement.

Maintenance
This chapter provides basic maintenance information including battery and fuse replacement instruction.
Warning
Do not attempt to repair or service your Meter unless you are qualified to do so and have the relevant calibration,
performance test, and service information.
A. General Service
l Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
l To clean the terminals with cotton bar with detergent, as dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings.
l Turn the Meter to OFF when it is not in use.
l Take out the battery when it is not using for a long time.
l Do not use or store the Meter in a place of humidity, high temperature, explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic
field.
52
B. Replacing the Fuses
Warning
To avoid electrical shock or arc blast, or personal
injury or damage to the Meter, use specified fuses
ONLY in accordance with the following procedure.
Follow Figure 6-1 and proceed as follows to replace
the Meterís fuse:
l Turn the rotary switch to OFF and remove all
connections from the terminals.
l Remove the 5 screws from the case bottom.
l Remove the fuse by gently prying one end loose,
then take out the fuse from its bracket.
l Install ONLY replacement fuses with the identical
type and specification as follows and make sure the
fuse is fixed firmly in the bracket.
Fuse 1: 0.5A, 250V, fast type fuse, 5◊20mm
Fuse 2: 10A, 250V, fast type fuse, 5◊20mm
l Rejoin the case bottom and case top, and install the
5 screws.
Figure 6-1. Fuse Replacement
Replacement of the fuses is seldom required. Burning
of a fuse always results from improper operation.
53
C. Replacing the Battery
Warning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible
electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery
as soon as the battery indicator ì î appears.
Make sure the test leads are disconnected from the

circuit being tested before opening the case bottom.
Follow Figure 6-2 and proceed as follows to replace

the battery:
l Turn the rotary switch to OFF and remove all
connections from the terminals.
