Overview

This digital multimeter is designed and produced in accordance with the safety
requirements of the international electrical safety standard IEC-61010 for electronic
measuring instruments and handheld digital multimeters, and meets the 600V CAT IV
and 1000V CAT of IEC61010 III requirements.

Before using this instrument, please read the instruction manual carefully and pay
attention to the relevant safe work guidelines. If the meter is used near equipment
with relatively large electromagnetic interference, the meter's readings will become
unstable and may experience large errors. Do not use if the meter or test lead is
damaged. When working around bare conductors or buses, you must be extremely
careful. Do not use this meter near explosive gas, steam or dust. The input value
being measured must not exceed the input limit value specified in each range to
prevent damage to the meter. When the meter is connected to the line under test, do
not touch the unused input terminal. When the measured voltage exceeds 60VDC or
30VAC, please be careful to prevent electric shock. Before changing the range, make
sure that the meter is not connected to the circuit under test. Do not measure
resistance or continuity on a live circuit.
General operation
1.1 Button Function

HOLD/ key: Short press this button to activate the


value hold function. Long press this key to turn the
backlight and flashlight on or off.

RANGE key: Short press this key to manually select


the measurement range. Long press this key to
release manual range mode and enter Auto range
mode.

SELECT key: Short press to switch between modes


(e.g. AC & DC in Voltage mode)

1.2 Battery

This multimeter uses 2 x AAA 1.5V batteries for power supply. The batteries must be
correctly installed in the battery box of the meter. When the battery indicator
appears, replace the battery immediately.

Energy Saving

The meter will automatically enter power save mode after approx. 15 minutes of not
being used. You can reactivate the meter by pressing any button.

Battery Replacement

If the symbol appears on the screen, the batteries must be replaced. Failure to do
so will cause incorrect measurements. The meter requires 2 x AAA batteries.

1. Turn the selector dial to the OFF position


2. Remove the battery cover at the rear of the meter
3. Remove the old batteries
4. Install the new batteries
5. Re-install the battery cover and fasten it.
Measurement Guide
2.1 Measuring Voltage

1. Turn the rotary switch to the V position.


2. Connect the black test probe to the COM input socket.
3. The meter will default to DC voltage. If AC voltage is being measured, press
the SELECT button once.
4. Use the test probe tip and the tip of the meter to measure the
voltage value of the circuit or battery being tested.
5. Read the measured value on the liquid crystal display. When
measuring DC voltage, the display will also show the polarity of
the voltage.

Note: If the test probe on the meter is too short, the red insulating
shield can be removed by sliding it off in the direction of the arrow
shown in Fig.1
Fig.1
2.2 Measuring Resistance.

1. Turn the rotary switch to the position.


2. Insert the black test pen into the COM input socket.
3. Use the test probe tip and the tip of the meter to measure the resistance of the
circuit to be tested.
4. Read the measured resistance value on the liquid crystal display.

2.3 Diode Test

1. Turn the rotary switch to the position.


2. Insert the black test pen into the COM input socket.
3. Press the "SELECT" key once to select mode.
4. The symbol indicates the diode test.
5. Connect the black test probe to the cathode and the tip of the meter to the
anode of the diode being tested
6. The meter will display the forward bias value of the diode under test.
7. If the polarity of the test pen is reversed, the meter will display "OL".
2.4 Continuity Test

1. Turn the rotary switch to the position.


2. Insert the black test pen into the COM input socket.
3. Press the "SELECT" key twice to select the mode.
4. The symbol indicates the audible continuity test which uses the built in
buzzer to indicate continuity (if resistance between probes is less than 30Ω±
10)

2.5 Measuring Capacitance

1. Turn the rotary switch to the position.


2. Insert the black test pen into the COM input socket.
3. Press the "SELECT" key three times to select the capacitance mode.
4. Use the test probe tip and the tip of the meter to measure the capacitance of
the circuit to be tested.
5. Read the measured capacitance value on the liquid crystal display.

Note: When the meter measures large capacitance, it takes a certain time to stabilize
the reading.

2.6 Non-contact voltage detection

1. Turn the rotary switch to the NCV position.


2. Place the top of the meter close to the AC conductor. When the detected AC
voltage is greater than 110V, the meter will sense the voltage.
3. The display will indicate the intensity of the induced electric field and the
buzzer will also sound.

2.7 Measuring Current

1. Cut off the power supply and discharge all high voltage capacitors in the circuit
under test.
2. Turn the rotary switch to the NCV position.
3. Insert the black test pen into the COM input socket.
4. Connect the black test probe tip and the tip of the meter to the circuit under
test (in series).
5. Connect the power to the circuit, and then read the displayed reading.
6. If the display only shows "OL", it means that the input exceeds the selected
range. The maximum allowable current is 200mA.
