OperatiOn instructiOns

testing Voltage (ac/Dc)

Use the Mode Button to select the “V” setting.  With the circuit on, carefully touch the 
probe (positive polarity) and test leads (negative polarity) to the exposed conductors 
with the tips to measure the voltage (not amperes).

The Multimeter will give you a reading in the LCD display.

testing resistance

Warning:

 Never measure resistance on a circuit with voltage running through it.

Set the Mode Button to the Ohm (

W

) setting.

 

 

Touch the Test Lead and Probe together. The meter should read “0” Ohms. The continu-
ity test is done to determine if the circuit is open or closed.  Unplug the product being 
tested prior to using the Multimeter on the product.

While the test leads are not touching anything, the Multimeter LCD readout will show a 
reading of infinity.  This indicates an open circuit that can not conduct current.  Touching 
probe and test lead together will change the reading to zero.  This indicates that the 
circuit is closed and can conduct current.

Touch the exposed conductors with the tips of the Test Lead and Probe.

Read measurement in Ohms.  If the reading is zero and the tone sounds then there is 
continuity between the two conductors.

Diode test

Use the same steps as “Measuring Resistance.”  Connect the Probe to the positive pole 
of the diode, and the Test Lead to the negative pole of the diode.

Read the forward resistance on the LCD readout.

Dc current measurements

Set the Mode Button to the Current (mA) position.  Disconnect power to the circuit.  

Warning:

  This Meter is designed only for small scale amperage testing.  Do not use 

unless you are certain that the voltage is under 600 V and that the amperage is under 
200 mA (milliamps) or 0.2 amps.

Carefully connect the two probes inline with the circuit, so that the current must pass 
through the meter.

Warning!

  Keep fingers and all conductive materials clear from the metal parts of 

the probes.  Connect power and read measurement.  Carefully disconnect power and 
disconnect meter from circuit.
