1. Set the function/range switch to the appropriate resistance (ohms) range shown above.

2. Touch the test leads to the resistor or non-energized component to be measured. Use the 2000K range when testing for resistance values

in electronic components such as resistors and potentiometer. If the value of the component falls within the range of another setting, reset

the function/range switch to that setting for a more accurate reading.

3. Read the value of the measurement displayed. With resistance measurements, the polarity of the test leads is not a factor.

4. Typical resistance/continuity measurements include resistors, potentiometer, switches, extension cords and fuses.

3.4 Diode / Continuity Testing

There is only one range for measuring continuity and diodes. To change between these two functions use the mode select button on the right.

when measuring diodes or continuity always make sure the power is off.

3.4.1 Continuity

1 Set the function switch to the continuity/diode [show symbols] position.

2 Select the continuity mode by pushing the mode select button on the right.

3 Touch the test leads to the component or circuit to be tested. Polarity of the test leads is a factor. Touch the black (common) test lead to

the negative (-) terminal and the red test lead to the positive (+) terminal.

Read the value of the measurement displayed. If the leads are reversed a “-“ indicator will appear on the display.

3.4.2 Diodes

1. Set the function switch to the continuity/diode [show symbols] position.

2. Select the diode mode by pushing the mode select button on the right.

3. Diodes should be tested with both forward and reverse voltages applied. Touch the test leads to the diode, one lead on the anode and

the other on the cathode. The indication of a diode in good condition is a low resistance reading when the red lead is on the anode and

the black lead is on the cathode. When the test leads are reversed, a high resistance reading should be displayed.

NOTE: A low resistance in both directions indicates a shorted diode; a high resistance in both directions indicates an open diode.

3.5 Temperature Measurements

NOTE: The standard test leads are not used for temperature measurement and can be removed from the meter.

1. Plug the temperature probe into the input jacks.

2. Set the function select dial to the “TEMP” setting. The display should now read the ambient (surrounding) temperature.

3. Touch the temperature probe to the object under test. Hold the probe to the object until a steady reading is maintained on the display.

4. To select between F° and C°, push the mode select button.

3.6 Household Battery Testing

There is only one range for measuring common 1.5 Volt household batteries. (AAA, AA, C or D size)

1. Set the function switch to the battery position.

2. Touch the test leads to the positive and negative terminals on the battery. With DC voltage, the polarity of the test leads is a factor. Touch

the black (common) test lead to the negative (-) terminal and the red test lead to the positive (+) terminal.

3. Read the value of the measurement displayed. If the leads are reversed a “-“ indicator will appear on the display.

Battery Replacement

1. Remove protective boot from test unit.

2.1 For Your Safety

1) Use extreme caution when checking electrical circuits.

2) Do not stand in wet or damp work areas when working with electricity. Wear rubber soled boots or shoes.

3) Do not apply more voltage or current than the set range of the multimeter will allow

4) Do not touch the metal probes of the test leads when making a measurement.

5) Replace worn test leads. Do not use test leads with broken or tattered insulation.

6) Discharge a capacitor before measuring it.

7) Remove the test leads from the circuit being measured as soon as the test is completed. Never reset the function/range switch to

another range while the leads are still in contact with a circuit.

8) Do not measure voltage when the function/range switch is set on the resistance (ohms) settings. Do not measure current when the

meter is set on the resistance range. Never measure AC voltage when the meter is set on DC voltage. Setting the meter on the

incorrect function may burn out some of the internal circuitry and may pose a safety hazard.

9) Damaged meters are not repairable nor is calibration possible. Damaged meters should be disposed of.

3.0 Operating Instructions

1. Set the function/range switch to the proper position before making a measurement. When the voltage is not known, it MUST be

determined that the capacity of the selected range will handle the amount of voltage in the circuit (see #3 under “For Your Safety”).

2. Avoid placing the meter in areas where vibration, dust or dirt are present Do not store the meter in excessively hot, humid or damp

places. This meter is a sensitive measuring device and should be treated with the same regard as other electrical and electronic devices.

3. When the meter is not in use keep the meter turned to keep the battery from discharging.

4. When disconnecting the test leads from the unit, always grasp the leads where the input jacks meet the tester housing. Do not pull the

leads out of the jacks by the insulated wire or transport the tester using the test leads as a carrying strap.

5. Do not immerse the meter in water or solvents. To clean the housing use a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap.

NOTE: With any measurement made by this meter, there will be some fluctuation of the digital display. This is due to the meter’s

sampling method. This unit samples at a rate of 2 times per second, thus the fluctuation of the readout.

Dial Settings

3.1 AC Volts

There are two ranges for measuring AC voltage, 200 V and 500 V. For more accurate measurements under 200 volts use the 200 Volt setting.

1. Set the function/range switch to the appropriate AC V range shown above.

2. Touch the test leads to the circuit under test. With AC voltage, the polarity of the test leads is not a factor.

NOTE: It is best to touch one of the test leads to ground or Neutral first and then touch the 2nd test lead to the hot wire.

3. Read the value of the measurement displayed.

4. Typical AC Voltage measurements include wall outlets, appliance outlets, motors, light fixtures and switches. When measuring outlets the

specially spaced lead holders allow for single one hand testing.

3.2 DC Volts

There are four ranges for measuring DC voltage, 2, 20, 200 V and 600 V. For more accurate measurements use the lowest range possible

without exceeding the value.

1. Set the function/range switch to the appropriate DC V range shown above.

2. Touch the test leads to the circuit under test. With DC voltage, the polarity of the test leads is a factor. Touch the black (common) test lead

to the negative DC source first and red (positive) test lead to the “live” source second.

3. Read the value of the measurement displayed. If the leads are reversed a “-“ indicator will appear on the display.

4. Typical DC Voltage measurements include car batteries, automotive switches and household batteries.

3.3 Resistance

There are five ranges for measuring resistance 200, 2K, 20K, 200K and 2 Meg Ohms. For more accurate measurements use the lowest

range possible without exceeding the value.

when measuring resistance always make sure the power is off.

5) Reemplace los conductores de prueba desgastados. No use conductores de prueba con aislamiento roto o agrietado.

6) Descargue un condensador antes de medirlo.

7) Retire los conductores de prueba del circuito bajo prueba tan pronto concluya la prueba. Nunca cambie de una escala a otra por medio

del selector de función/escala mientras los conductores estén todavía en contacto con un circuito.

8) No mida el voltaje cuando el selector de función/escala esté colocado en la posición de resistencia (ohmios). Nunca mida la corriente

cuando el selector esté colocado en la escala de resistencia. Nunca mida el voltaje de corriente alterna (AC) cuando el selector esté

colocado en la escala de voltaje de corriente continua (DC). Si el probador se usa en la función incorrecta, se pueden fundir algunos de

los circuitos internos, resultando en un riesgo de seguridad.

9) Los medidores dañados no son reparables ni es posible calibrarlos. Los medidores dañados deben descartarse.

3.0 Instrucciones operativas

1. Ponga el interruptor de función/rango en la posición adecuada antes de comenzar a medir. Cuando no se conozca el voltaje, DEBE

determinarse que la capacidad del rango seleccionado aceptará la cantidad de voltaje del circuito (vea el número 3 de la sección “Para

su seguridad”).

2. Evite poner el medidor en áreas donde haya vibración, polvo o suciedad. No guarde el medidor en lugares excesivamente calientes o

húmedos. Este medidor es un dispositivo medidor sensible y debe tratarse con la misma consideración que otros eléctricos y

electrónicos.

3. Cuando no esté en uso el medidor manténgalo apagado para que no se descargue la batería.
