WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL
BEFORE USING THE INSTRUMENT
Failure to understand and comply with the
WARNINGS and operating instructions can
result in serious or fatal injuries and/or
property damage.
General
These 83 series instruments are a series of
compact pocket- sized 3 ½ digital multimeters for
measuring DC and AC Voltage, DC Current,
Resistance and Diode. Some of those also
provide Temperature, Transistor measurement
and audible continuity test function or can be
used as a signal generator (see table). Full range
overload protection and low battery voltage
indication are provided. They are ideal
instruments for use in fields, such as laboratory,
workshop, DIYers and home applications.

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1. FUNCTION AND RANGE SWITCH

This switch is used to select the function and
desired range as well as to turn on the instrument.
To extend the life of this battery, the switch
should be in the “OFF” position when the
instrument is not in use.
2. DISPLAY
3 ½ digit, 7 segment, 0.5” high LCD.
3. “Common” JACK
Plug in connector for black (negative) test
lead.
4. “V:mA” JACK
Plug in connector for red (Positive) test lead
for all voltage and resistance and current (except
10A) measurements.
5. “10A” JACK
Plug in connector to red (positive) test lead for
10A measurement.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard and/or
damage of the instrument, do not measure
voltages that might exceed 500V above
earth ground.
Before the use of instrument, inspect test
leads, connectors and probes for cracks,
breaks, or crazes in the insulation.
DC & AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

1. Connect red test lead to “VDmA” jack, Black
lead to “COM” jack.
2. Set RANGE switch to desired VOLTAGE
position, if the voltage to be measured is not
known beforehand, set switch to the highest
range and reduce it until satisfactory reading is
obtained.
3. Connect test leads to device or circuit being
measured.
4. Turn on power of the device or circuit being
measured voltage value will appear on Digital
Display along with the voltage polarity.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT
1. Red lead to “VDmA”. Black lead to “COM” (for
measurements between 200mA and 10A
connect red lead to “10A” jack with fully
depressed.)
2. RANGE switch to desired DCA position.
3. Open the circuit to be measured, and connect
test leads INSERIES with the load in with
current is to measure.
4. Read current value on Digital Display.
5. Additionally, “10A” function is designed for
intermittent use only. Maximum contact time of
the test leads with the circuit is 15 seconds,
with a minimum intermission time of seconds
between tests.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
1. Red lead to “VDmA”. Black lead to “COM”.
2. RANGE switch to desired OHM position.
3. If the resistance being measured is connec-
ted to a circuit, turn off power and discharge all
capacitors before measurement.
4. Connect test leads to circuit being measured.
5. Read resistance value on Digital Display.
DIODE MEASUREMENT
1. Red lead to “VDmA”, Black lead to “COM”.
2. RANGE switch to “ ” position.
3. Connect the red test lead to the anode of the
diode to be measured and black test lead to
cathode.
4. The forward voltage drop in mV will be
displayed. If the diode is reversed, figure “1”
will be shown.
TRANSISTOR hFE MEASUREMENT
1. RANGE switch to the hFE position.
2. Determine whether the transistor is PNP of
NPN type and locate the Emitter, Base and
Collector leads. Insert the leads into the proper
holes of the hFE Socket on the front panel.
3. The meter will display the approximate hFE
value at the condition of base current 10µA
and VCE2.8V.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
1. Connect the K type thermoelectric couple to
“VDmA” and “COM” jacks.
2. RANGE switch to TEMP position.
3. The display will read Temperature value .
AUDIBLE CONTINUITY TEST

1. Red lead to “VDmA”, Black lead to “COM”.
3. Connect test leads to two points of circuit to be
tested. If the resistance is lower then
30D±20D, the buzzer will sound.
TEST SIGNAL USE

2. A test signal (50Hz) appears between “VDmA”
and “COM” jack, the output voltage is approx
5V p-p with 50KD impedance.
BATTERY AND FUSE REPLACEMENT
Fuse rarely need replacement and blow almost
always as a result of operator error.
If “ ” appears in display, it indicates that the
battery should be replaced.
To replace battery & Fuse (500mA/250V) remove
the 2 screws in the bottom of the case, simply
remove the old, and replace with a new one. Be
careful to observe polarity.
CAUTION
Before attempting to open the case of the
instrument, be sure to disconnect test leads from
any energized circuits to avoid shock hazard.
