SAFETY INFORMATION

The Meter complies with:

IEC/EN 61010-1 3rd Edition, UL61010-1 2nd Ed. and CAN/

CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1-04 + CSA Update No.1: 2008 to

Category III 600 Volts, Pollution degree 2

IEC/EN 61010-2-030

IEC/EN 61010-2-31 for test leads

EMC IEC/EN 61326-1

“This product has been tested to the requirements of

CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1, second edition, including

Amendment 1, or a later version of the same standard

incorporating the same level of testing requirements”.

Measurement Category III (CAT III) is for measurements

performed in the building installation. Examples are

measurements on distribution boards, circuit- breakers,

wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes,

3

switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and

equipment for industrial use and some other equipment,

for example, stationary motors with permanent

connection to the fixed installation.

CENELEC Directives

The instruments conform to CENELEC Low-voltage

directive 2006/95/EC and Electromagnetic compatibility

directive 2004/108/EC

Warning: Read Before Using

• To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury,

follow these instructions and use the Meter only as

specified in this manual.

• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear

damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly.

If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

• Always use the proper function and range for

measurements.

• Before rotating the function range selection switch,

disconnect test probe from circuit under test.

• Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring on a

known voltage source.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as

marked on the Meter, between the test probe or

between any test probe and earth ground.

• Use the Meter with caution for voltages above 30

Vac rms, 42 Vac peak, or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose

electrical shock hazards.

• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-

voltage capacitors before testing resistance.

• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.

• When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind

the finger guards.

• Remove test leads from the Meter before opening

the Meter case or battery door.

• if the meter is used in a manner not specified in

the users manual, the protection provided by the

equipment may be impaired

MAKING MEASUREMENT



1. Use the proper function and range for

measurements.

2. To avoid possible electrical shock, personal injury or

damages to the Meter, disconnect circuit power and

discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing

resistance and diode.

3. Connecting test leads:

• Connect the common (COM) test lead to the circuit

before connecting the live lead.

• After measurement, remove live lead before

removing the common (COM) test lead from the

circuit.

4. Symbol “OL” is displayed on LCD when the

measurement is out of range.

measurement function.

Do not apply on a voltage source higher than

AC/DC 600V.

7

Measuring Resistance

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all

high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance.

Note: On a higher resistance measurement (>1MΩ), the

measurement may take a few seconds to get stable reading.

Measuring Continuity

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-

voltage capacitors before testing continuity.

8

Measuring Diode

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-

voltage capacitors before testing diode.

Battery Test

Applying a voltage source or incorrect battery type

under battery test may cause personal Injury or damage

to the Meter.

Battery 1.5V range is for dry battery not exceeding 2Vdc.

The resistance load is around 30Ω.

Battery 9V range is for dry battery not exceeding 15Vdc.

The resistance load is around 1KΩ.The resistance load is

around 1KΩ.

Measuring AC and DC Current

Press SELECT button for switching to DC current

measurement function.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the Meter:

1. Do not attempt to make an in-circuit current

measurement when the open-circuit potential to

earth ground exceeding 600 V.

2. Switch to proper function and range for your

measurement.

3. Do not place the test probe in parallel with a circuit

when the test leads are connected to the current

terminals.

4. Connect the test leads to the correct input A/mA μA

current terminal and to the circuit before powering

the circuit under test.

5. After measurement, switching OFF the circuit’s

power before removing test leads from the circuit.

or

for

For current range from 8-10A, do not measure current

for more than one (1) minute. Wait for 10 minutes

before taking another measurement.
