Meter Basics   

1. Digital LCD display 

Display features: 

 

1a. Symbols to identify function 

1b. Four character digital display 

 

 
The digital display is best for 
stable inputs.  The bar graph is 
best for rapidly changing inputs. 
 

2. Function buttons 

Press the button to select a 
function. A symbol will display to 
verify your choice. 
 

3. Rotary Selector Switch 

Turn this switch to select a 
function or turn the meter OFF. 

 
4. Volts Terminal 

The Red test lead is used to   
measure;  Amps, Volts, Ohms, 
TEMP, Hz, RPM, Cap, mS and   
Dwell.  
The Black test lead is used 
in the Common(COM) terminal for 
all tests.
