Manual

•

To avoid possible electric shock, instrument damage, and/or

equipment damage when taking voltage or current measure-

ments, DO NOT exceed the maximum value of the selected

range.

•

If the tester is used near high noise Radio Frequency (RF)

generating equipment (spark plug wires, ignition coils or

alternator), the display may become unstable or indicate large

errors. If you obtain erratic readings during use, isolate the

tester as far away as possible from these components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

A. AC/DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

1. Plug the BLACK test lead into "COM" jack of the tester; plug

the RED test lead into the "V" jack.

NOTE: If alligator clip adapters (not included with tester) are to

be used on the test leads, use suitable rated and UL certified

alligator clips.

2. Set the tester’s Function/Range Selector Switch to the

appropriate DCV or ACV position as desired (see

Controls and Indicators, Items 1 and 2).

3. Place the RED test lead onto the positive (+) side of the item

being tested and the BLACK test lead onto the negative (-)

(across the source/load) side of the item. BE CAREFUL not to

touch any energized conductors with any part of your body.

4. Read the results on the display.

B. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT

ΩΩ

(OHMS)

WARNING

Resistance measurements must be made on "de-ener-

gized" (dead) circuits ONLY. Impressing a voltage across

the multimeter's terminals while set to any resistance

range may result in electric shock, instrument damage

and/or damage to equipment under test. MAKE SURE

equipment is completely de-energized before taking any

resistance measurements.

WARNING

To avoid possible electric shock, instrument damage

and/or equipment damage, DO NOT attempt to measure

voltages ABOVE 600V AC/DC or take measurements if

the voltage is unknown. 600V AC/DC between the COM

and V jacks is the maximum voltage that this instrument

is designed to measure. The "COM" terminal potential

should not exceed 300V AC/DC measured to ground.
